President Barack Obama responds to absurd 'demonic' claims by sniffing himself

US President Barack Obama has responded to a radio host's claim that he and Hillary Clinton are demons who smell like sulphur.

Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump supporter, made the claim on his show two days ago.

"This woman is dangerous, ladies and gentleman. I'm telling you, she is a demon. This is Biblical. She's going to launch a nuclear war," Jones said in a bizarre rant on October 10th.

Jones, who runs the InfoWars website, has previously interviewed the Republican presidential nominee on his programme.

"I've been told this by high up folks," he continued. "They say listen, Obama and Hillary both smell like sulphur."

Word of the demonic allegations reached POTUS, and he responded by checking himself for a sulphuric odour.

"I was reading the other day, there's a guy on the radio who apparently - Trump's on his show frequently - he said me and Hillary are demons. Said we smell like sulfur. Ain't that something," the President told a campaign rally in North Carolina, before sniffing the back of his hand.

"Now, I mean, come on, people!" he said with a smile.
