President Obama: ‘They Gotta Start Acting Like President’ If They Want To Get Top Security Briefings



Daily Mail: Loose Lips sink ships!: Obama warns Trump – and Hillary – that ‘they gotta start acting like president’ if they want to get top security briefings – and can’t ‘spread ‘em around’ if they do

* Obama was asked after meeting with his security team whether Donald Trump should be able to get classified security briefings
* Under longstanding policy, party nominees get top level briefings
* Trump spoke at a rally Wednesday and described video evidence of Iran receiving a huge cash payment, although no public video exists
* 'If they want to be president they gotta start acting like president'
* Obama confirmed a report that US paid Iran $400 million in CASH because we couldn't just cut Iran a check due to existing sanctions
* Denied the payment was 'ransom,' saying: 'This wasn't some nefarious deal'
* Called Trump's claim that the election will be rigged 'ridiculous'
* Races through remarks but endures a follow-up question: 'I'm gonna be late for my birthday dinner'

Obama got asked about Trump receiving classified briefings as the party nominee at a Pentagon press conference Thursday after the president met with his security team.
