President Barack Obama says Donald Trump isn't qualified to be president and he's confident Americans will ultimately reject the brash billionaire on election day.
Obama, closing out his final presidential trip to Asia, said his meetings with foreign leaders during the trip had illustrated that governing is serious business requiring knowledge, preparation and thought-out policies.
He urged Americans not to allow the "outrageous behaviour'' seen amid the campaign-season din to become the new normal.
"The most important thing for the public and the press is to just listen to what (Trump) says and follow up and ask questions to what appear to be either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas,'' Obama said.
