During a rally today in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, former Democratic President Barack Obama, mentioned the recently uncovered Chinese bank account of Republican President Donald Trump.

"Turns out, this was just reported in the last 48 hours, we know that he continues to do business with China. Because he's got a secret Chinese bank account," Obama said, referencing a New York Times story which found that Trump International Hotels Management (TIHM) had paid $188,561 in taxes to China between 2013 and 2015 while pursuing potential licensing deals.

"How is that possible?" Obama continued, "Can you imagine if I had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for re-election? ... Fox News might have been a little concerned about that. They would have called me Beijing Barry."
