“ power is in our vote,” Obama reiterated. "He likes to act tough and talk tough. He thinks scowling and being mean is tough," former President Barack Obama said at a drive-in rally. ”But when '60 Minutes' and Lesley Stahl are too tough for you, you ain't all that tough.” Obama’s remarks in Florida were a scathing attack on Trump for getting rattled by a "60 Minutes" correspondent, as he pointed out at Trump’s scowling and his eventually walking off sets of high profile interview.
