Excerpts of Obama's criticism of Trump tonight: "Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't"

“I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies,” the 44th president will say. “I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously. But he never did.”

“Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t,” Obama's remarks continue. “And the consequences of that failure are severe: 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone. Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before.”
