After President Obama made a prediction Tuesday that "Mr. Trump will not be president," the billionaire businessman bit back with his own challenge to Mr. Obama's qualifications for the executive office.

"He has done such a lousy job as president," Trump said on stage at a Beaufort, South Carolina rally Tuesday. "You look at our budgets. You look at our spending. We can't beat ISIS. Obamacare is terrible. We're going to terminate it. We're going to absolutely terminate and replace it. I mean you look at everything. Our borders are like Swiss cheese."

Aiming squarely at the president's 2012 election record, Trump had this message for Mr. Obama: "You're lucky I didn't run last time when Romney ran because you would have been a one-term president."

Trump's comments were responding to a claim the president made about the GOP front-runner earlier that day.

"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Mr. Obama said at a press conference during a summit with Southeast Asian leaders in California. "And the reason is that I have a lot of faith in the American people. Being president is a serious job. It's not hosting a talk show, or a reality show."

He added that "the American people are pretty sensible, and I think they'll make a sensible choice in the end."

At his South Carolina event, the reality television star said that he wasn't taking the Mr. Obama's statement as a personal insult.

"This man has done such a bad job -- he has set us back so far, and for him to say that actually is a great compliment, if you want to know the truth," Trump said.

Three kids including their granny have died after eating Koki in the Bagangté locality found deep within the Nde Division in the Western Region. The grand mother to the three children reportedly prepared the dish and offered a small portion each to the three and later on had her own share of the meal. Local media reports say the granny even invited the children of two of her neighbours to participate in the last supper when suddenly violent stomach pains started. 

Neighbors rushed the victims to the University Teaching Hospital from where the grandmother and her three grand sons, aged 6, 8 and 16 were pronounced dead. The incident has caused much panic in the city with some suspecting deliberate poisoning.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says any manner of ground operations in Syria would result in a “full-fledged” war. "Let me reiterate that no one is interested in a new war, and a ground operation is a full-fledged, long war," said Medvedev during an interview with the Euronews TV station aired on Sunday. He also referred to remarks made by US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday that if Syria peace talks fail, more troops may be deployed. "These are futile words; he should not have said that for a simple reason: if all he wants is a protracted war, he can carry out ground operations and anything else. But don't try to frighten anyone," said the Russian prime minster. 

US President Barack Obama has so far ruled out the deployment of ground troops in the war-ravaged country, but Saudi Arabia and Turkey have hinted at launching joint military operations on Syrian soil. Saudi Arabia has confirmed deployment of warplanes to the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey, claiming that the move was in line with the so-called fight against Daesh. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has also said Ankara and Riyadh could launch a ground operation in Syria “if there is a strategy.”

The director of Russia’s top law enforcement agency has called for the establishment of an international coalition to battle what he referred to as the US-imposed “dictatorship” on the rest of the world. Director of Russia’s Investigative Committee Aleksandr Bastrykin said on Friday the world is in urgent need of a new system of checks and balances that would equally represent every nation across the global political spectrum. The formation of a global coalition of countries could serve as “a feasible pole to counter the dictatorship imposed by the Americans together with their Western allies,” he said during a round table discussion in Moscow. 

Bastrykin said Washington’s geopolitical dominance is founded on its financial might, which is based on “the uncontrolled and non-guaranteed” injection of the dollar currency into the global economy. “It is against common logic to financially support the country that is using these same resources against our interests,” he said, adding the international coalition should ascertain the gradual exclusion of the US dollar from their foreign currency reserves. The Russian official said Washington and its allies are waging a “hybrid war” against Moscow, ranging from what he referred to as price dumping on energy markets, along with “currency wars” in the shape of the unrestrained expansion of the US dollar. Bastrykin also said a number of international institutions and groups — such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Eurasian Economic Community, the BRICS and the Collective Security Treaty Organization — have already established the basic elements for shaping a future global alliance.

Russia is at odds with the West, particularly the US, over a series of issues, including the crisis in Ukraine, where Western countries accuse Russia of fanning the flames of conflict. Western countries have imposed a set of punitive sanctions against Russia which has retaliated with its own embargo against those measures. Russia also perceives an east-ward expansion by the US-led NATO military alliance as a threat. Last Wednesday, NATO — which is mostly made up of Western European countries — approved a plan to strengthen military presence in their so-called eastern flank, which means Eastern European countries near Russian borders.
