President 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.

1. Fell Asleep

[guillaumeb]

2. Obama uses too many big words.

Obama should write his speeches for a primary school level audience if he wants Trump and Trump voters to listen.

[Caliman73]

3. Of course he fell asleep. He can't understand the big words the scary Black man was saying.

Trump is full of shit. He probably didn't tune in to the entire speech, but likely because it was over his head and he will have to have it translated into "idiot". Then he will freak out.

[treestar]

9. exactly; it's over his head

so he can't follow it; and if it puts him to sleep, how does he know Obama claimed credit for anything; and further, it is to Obama's credit the economy is good; when it starts to feel the Orange Idiot's actions, it won't be good.

4. He should just say what he really feels about Obama. Nt

[John Fante]

8. No, Obama should say what he feels about Trump.

The current POTUS is a genital wart on the dick of American culture. No need for Obama to respect the office in any way, shape, or form. Attack the bastard.

[qazplm135]

5. A Diet Coke coma will

do that to you.

[John Fante]

6. Big words and coherent sentences make Fuckface drowsy.

How adorable.

[The Genealogist]

7. Pandering to the base

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.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. The language is too complicated for him to understand.

[muntrv]

11. He falls asleep during the President's Daily Briefings.

[Ohiogal]

34. In other words

When Fox and Friends is on?

[NewJeffCT]

12. Somebody on Twitter responded

if you fell asleep, how did I respond to your tweet came in the middle of Obama's speech?

[lpbk2713]

13. Nodding off --- A sign of old age.

Just don't fall face first into your oatmeal.

[yonder]

24. "don't fall face first into your oatmeal."

Not if you don't want to wind up like Leroy Fedders on that old Mary Hartman show. Hell, maybe it was soup that did Leroy in, don't remember because I'm old too.

[Wounded Bear]

26. Please do, please do...

[yonder]

27. I'll second that. Motion carries.

[IluvPitties]

14. Trump is too stupid to understand or follow Obama.

[Brother Buzz]

15. He's lying his orange ass off

He listed, and counted how many times his name came up. The orange anus is pissed because Obama only said his name twice.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Don the Con lying his ass off again. Too stupid to read the economic

reports of the past 10 years.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Crowd behind tRump falls asleep at rallies. See yawning woman beside plaid shirt guy fr most recent.

[eleny]

18. he watched every minute and listened to every word

he waited to see if he would be mentioned. so he didn't miss a single second.

[RichardRay]

19. Just as he has in the past...

...whenever someone tried to educate him.

[Dave Starsky]

20. I understand, old man. It's way past your nap time.

Let's get you cleaned up and back in your bed.

[MyNameIsKhan]

21. Low energy !

[procon]

22. Liar. He can't say he was asleep and still make remarks about Obama's speech. nt

[Le Gaucher]

23. Too many of them big complicated words ..yawwwn

[yonder]

25. Maybe he did fall asleep...after throwing his overly supinated shoes through the TV.

[CentralMass]

28. Low energy. Sad.

[underpants]

29. Wasn't Obama's speech in the middle of the day?

Yes I know he's just pandering but that was a really dumb excuse.

[Capperdan]

30. Just stay asleep please

[bluestarone]

31. ANOTHER FUCKING LIE!!!!

[louis-t]

32. Because he has the attention span of a carpet swag....

he got bored.

[redstatebluegirl]

33. Of course, he fell asleep in class routinely.

He as intellectual midget.

[Vinca]

35. He should have stayed awake. He could use a tutorial on acting presidential.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Sadly, he woke up again.

[Sugarcoated]

37. Uh huh, do tell Donnie, lol

As usual, whatever Lyin' Donnie says is either projection or the opposite of the truth. He was wide awake and seething and we all know it, including his cult members.

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

[VOX]

38. Trump is so envious of Obama, it's pathological.

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.

[raccoon]

39. Y'all believe the Dotard about this?? Nt
