Obama: Trump "Exploiting" Anxieties of "Blue-Collar Men"
--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, President Obama has accused Donald Trump of "exploiting" the
anxieties of "blue-collar men." In an interview with NPR, Obama said the
combination of demographic changes, flatlining wages and other economic
hurdles "means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration,
fear. Some of it justified, but just misdirected. I think somebody like
Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that."
