The First Amendment gives Donald Trump the freedom to criticize President Obama and the countrys policies any way he pleases.

Last night was no exception. As the featured speaker at an event to honor slain New Hampshire journalist James Foley with a First Amendment award given by the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications in Manchester, Trump did not hold back.

A few months ago, I used the word incompetent to describe the president. Its a very strong word and I was met with a lot of anger and fury, Trump said. Now its a word thats commonly used.

I have very little respect for him because I like winners, he added later.

He said he is not afraid to criticize the countrys failures, which are many, including:

In China, the president is openly mocked by government-controlled newspapers, he said.

The country is poised to return to Iraq alone after spending $2 trillion to fight a war and then leave.

When the U.S. sends weapons to help its allies fight the Islamic State, those weapons end up in the hands of the enemy.

The government allows people to come here who have traveled to Africa and could be ill with the Ebola virus without quarantine.

The lauded 5 percent unemployment rate is a phony number. The real unemployment rate in this country is more like 16, 17 or 18 percent, he said.
