Obama mocks Trump with Kenya joke on The Tonight Show

BURBANK, California — US President Barack Obama lampooned Donald Trump, saying the real estate tycoon’s feud with him dated back to “when we were growing up together in Kenya.”

Obama ribbed the flamboyant mogul during an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” after Trump revived the right-wing conspiracy theory that alleges that the president was not born in the United States.

“This all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya,” Obama joked, after dashing to California to record the show, to be broadcast later Wednesday on NBC, as part of a 40-hour campaign sweep through eight states.

“We had constant run-ins on the soccer field, he wasn’t very good and resented it,” said Obama, who is the son of a white American mother and Kenyan father who was born in Hawaii.

“When we finally moved to America, I thought it would be over,” the president said, with a beaming grin, and admitted he had never actually met Trump.
