Obama's comments are transcribed below.
One of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming from the top of the Republican ticket. I don't need to repeat it. There are children in the room.
But demeaning women, degrading women, but also minorities, immigrants, people of other faiths, mocking the disabled, insulting our troops, insulting our veterans. That tells you a couple things.
It tells you that he's insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down, not a character trait that I would advise for somebody in the Oval Office.
It tells you that he doesn't care much about the basic values we try to impart to our kids. It tells you he'd be careless with the stability and the respect that a real vibrant democracy requires."
The president's comments come just hours ahead of the highly anticipated second debate between Trump and the Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
