http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/405604-trump-on-obama-speech-i-fell-asleepPresident Trump on Friday shrugged off a speech made by former President Obama in which he delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's leadership.
"I'm sorry. I watched it, but I fell asleep. I found he's very good very good for sleeping," Trump said during a fundraiser in Fargo, N.D.
Trump also hit Obama for claiming credit for a run of strong job growth, which began during the 44th president's time in office.
"He was trying to take credit for this incredible thing that's happening to our country," Trump said, accusing Obama of presiding over the "weakest recovery in the history of our country" since the Great Depression.
During remarks at the University of Illinois, Obama condemned Trump and called on Americans to vote against Republicans in the November midterm elections.

(4,723 posts)He wants the base to know that he is as willfully ignorant and infantile as they are, thus he claims to share what he perceives their reaction to be. I'm sure he and his base would have trouble following Big Bird on Sesame Street, if they watched it.

He's so jealous of President Obama he can't see see straight.

(22,976 posts)Of course, there's not much about Trump that isn't pathological. But he is obsessed with Obama; everything Trump does is either tearing down something Obama accomplished, or doing the opposite of what Obama would do.
