Donald Trump referred to President Obama as “your president” during the first presidential debate on Monday, much to many people’s chagrin on social media.
Trump, made the reference after saying that the greatest threat facing the world is nuclear weapons. He then turned to Hillary Clinton and said, “Not global warming like you think and your President thinks,” referring to Obama.

The comment followed Trump doubling down on his false claims about the so-called birther conspiracy theory about Obama. People following the debate were immediately angered that Trump implied Obama is not his president.
He’s OUR president, you pathetic little man.
It’s cool Donald, he didn’t want to be your president anyway
“Your president?” He’s OUR president.. youre included trump#debatenight
Note that he just referred to Barack Obama as “your president.” Not his, apparently.
He’s your president too, big guy.
“Your President” – honestly what a jerk
