White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that President Barack Obama was too busy to be distracted by things “so small” as Donald Trump, who insinuated after the deadly mass shooting in Orlando, Florida that the President was working with terrorists.

While he said he wasn’t sure if Obama was aware of Trump’s remarks, he told reporters, “when you’re focused on something as big as helping the country respond to the worst mass shooting in our nation’s history, when you’re focused on something as big as safeguarding the country and combating violent extremism, it’s important not to get distracted by things that are so small.”

Earnest was asked about Trump’s Monday morning remarks during his daily press briefing.

Asked again about the remarks later in the briefing, Earnest said Obama’s record “speaks for itself, and that record includes a lot of dead terrorists.”

Trump suggested Obama’s response to the massacre shows “there’s something going on,” and also said the President either “doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands.”
