CHICAGO — President Barack Obama said Sunday that he’s having a hard time believing some of the rhetoric coming from the top of the Republican presidential ticket, saying that nominee Donald Trump has demeaned women, minorities and immigrants, mocked the disabled and insulted veterans. Obama then listed an array of groups that he said Trump has insulted during the course of the campaign. He didn’t directly address a video obtained by The Washington Post and NBC News that was made public Friday showing the Republican presidential nominee bragging about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women. “He’s insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down,” Obama said. Obama spoke at a fundraiser for Rep. Tammy Duckworth, the candidate he hopes will win his old U.S. Senate seat.
