President Barack Obama said Donald Trump was "the classic reality TV character" who had tapped into something real in the Republican Party but was unlikely to end up as president.
"He is a great publicity-seeker — and at a time when the Republican Party hasn't really figured out what it's for as opposed to what it's against," Obama said of Trump during an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" program airing on Sunday night.
Opinion polls put Trump at the front of a crowded Republican field seeking the party's nomination for the November 2016 presidential election.
