Trump defend Obama? 'I don't think so!'
WASHINGTON
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said on Saturday it was not his job to defend U.S. President Barack Obama after a man at one of his campaign events said he was a Muslim and "not even an American."

Trump, the billionaire television personality who leads the pack of Republicans seeking the presidential nomination, has cast doubt on whether Obama was born in the United States and therefore qualified to stand as president.
"Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!" Trump said on Twitter.
"This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something...If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!"
