'Reality has a way of asserting itself!' Condescending Obama says Trump can't keep his promises as he warns his successor's 'temperament' will be his undoing unless he 'corrects' it
President Barack Obama delivered a patronizing series of backhanded compliments to Donald Trump in a Monday press conference
Said his Republican successor won't be able to do what he promised during the campaign because 'this office has a way of waking you up'
Obama insisted Trump is more 'pragmatic' than 'ideological'
Scolded Trump for saying 'inaccurate' things at rallies while cautioning 'everybody is paying attention' and 'markets move' when presidents speak'
'There are going to be certain elements of his temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognizes them and corrects them,' Obama said
