No Prime Minister before me has been attacked more viciously than I am today.

Trump was a guy who “never went to class. Never got the syllabus.

And they — what I hear, you know, talking about our president. When I hear people saying quite unthinkable things about our president, when I see our president defaced, which is defacing our country. He's the leader of our country. He's the leader of the free world. It — my heart is very heavy.

The president has zero psychological ability to recognize

I am not an educated man. I never had an opportunity to learn anything except how to fight..

Obama doesn't know how to be President. He doesn't know how the world works. He's incompetent. He's an amateur!

He was ignorant of the commonest accomplishments of youth. He could not even lie.

[The American President] has to take all sorts of abuse from liars and demagogues.… The people can never understand why the President does not use his supposedly great power to make ’em behave. Well, all the President is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

Many of my new friends blame racism for this perception of the president. But the president feels like an alien to many Middletonians for reasons that have nothing to do with skin color. Recall that not a single one of my high school classmates attended an Ivy League school. Barack Obama attended two of them and excelled at both. He is brilliant, wealthy, and speaks like a constitutional law professor — which, of course, he is. Nothing about him bears any resemblance to the people I admired growing up: His accent — clean, perfect, neutral — is foreign; his credentials are so impressive that they’re frightening; he made his life in Chicago, a dense metropolis; and he conducts himself with a confidence that comes from knowing that the modern American meritocracy was built for him. Of course, Obama overcame adversity in his own right — adversity familiar to many of us — but that was long before any of us knew him.

The King was very ignorant… he lacked education. ... He was ignorant of geography, the teachings of history and the science of international law

Not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be.

And we have a president that we don't even know if he's -- where is our president? We don't even know if he's a president.
DAVID MUIR: And just to clarify here.
They threw him out of a campaign like a dog. We don't even know, is he our president? But we have a president…
DAVID MUIR: Mr. President,--
…that doesn't know he's alive.

There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.

People feel anxious, especially when we have to wonder whether the president, Taiwan's democratically elected president, will be addressed as president. If he (Ma Ying-jeou) cannot even defend his own title, what can he defend for us?
