'C'mon man!': Obama slams 'celebrity-seeking' Trump

President Barack Obama has slammed Republican candidate Donald Trump for “trying to make a buck” off America’s poorest workers, before turning around and saying he wants to help the working class.

Speaking at a lakeside rally for Hillary Clinton on Friday, Obama called on Trump to show his true colours and questioned why anyone would believe Trump’s claims.

“If he’d rather make a buck of (the) dreams (of the working class) but not be honest on the side of the deal… you’re not fit to be President of the United States,” Obama said.

“There’s no record he’s supported minimum wage, invested in poor communities and then suddenly he’s going to be the champion of working people…. C’mon man.”

Obama said Trump had “stiffed workers” in the past by filing for bankruptcy six times and called on voters to turn to Hillary Clinton.

“He’s shown no regard for working people,” Obama said to loud applause.

The comments come as an already under fire Trump claimed he was being “viciously attacked with lies”.

“The stories are 100 per cent made up. They never happened. They never would happen,” he said in reference to sexual abuse claims.

Speaking at a rally in North Carolina, Trump angrily denied claims he sexually attacked women in the past.

It comes the same day footage from appearances on the Howard Stern show over the past decade showed him describing his sex life, discussing women’s bodies and having sex with “troubled” women.

“I feel I have to talk about (rape claims). These are lies being pushed by the media and the Clinton campaign to try and keep their grip on our country,” Trump tells the large crowd.

“It’s a total set up.”

The US Presidential election is now less than one month away.
