On the campaign trial Sunday, President Barack Obama slammed Donald Trump’s comments about forcing himself on women as “unbelievable.”

“One of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming at the top of the Republican ticket,” Obama said at a campaign event for Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-IL) Senate campaign.

He described Trump’s predatory comments as “demeaning” and “degrading” to women, and went on to list the other groups Trump has insulted on the campaign trail, including immigrants and veterans.

“That tells you that he’s insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down,” Obama said. “Not a character trait that I would advise for somebody in the Oval Office.”
