Man Obama is really baiting Trump with this speech

[Mike Daniels]

You have to wonder if Trump's campaign team is hiding his mobile phones so that he can't tweet any responses to this smack-down.

1. Can you provide details please? I am not able to watch the speech. Thanks n/t

[NewJeffCT]

4. he brought up the Trump Foundation scandals

including the painting of himself that the Trump Foundation paid for...

[Avalux]

10. Ohhh that's a good one - thanks! n/t

[Mike Daniels]

5. Going after Trump Foundation, Trump's man-crush on Putin, his utter lack of experience, etc

Standard criticism of Trump but it just carried so much more intensity and was so much more no-holds barred than Hillary's delivery.

Given Trump's hatred for Obama you know he's going to want to respond in his standard infantile manner.

8. I think back to the WH Corespondent's dinner

a few years ago, and I believe our Prez loves sticking it to that obnoxious bully. And you just KNOW it kills him. Makes my little heart happy that POTUS is taking it to him. He has nothing to lose.

[Avalux]

12. Thanks. I love that he brought up the man-crush.

You can bet Trump is spitting nails over this speech, and that's the idea.

2. He's currently blabbering on aimlessly in Iowa as we speak.

I'm sure he'll weigh in later.

If you go forth between the two speeches, it's absolutely light and day as to who is the inspiring leader, and who is just....sad.

3. Donald got slapped silly

Thank you President Obama. You have such a good heart.

6. Oh good. :D

I love it when Trump goes off the rails. He's so easy to goad.

[MFM008]

7. Good

[Staph]

9. This is what I was hoping for when Hillary took her sick days.

The candidate should generally stay positive. But the candidate's surrogates should be her attack dogs, going after the opponent with stiletto-sharp negativity.

I don't think Trump will be able to resist responding -- and digging his hole of negativity deeper and deeper.

13. Ace in the hole

Obama is the President, whatever he says is going to be news. Talking about the Trump scandals is going to force the narrative to them.

This campaign is just starting, I would love to see Obama give 20 more speeches like this between now and election day.

58% approval means he can sway a boat load of swing voters. If Obama were running this cycle, he might get 480 EVs.

14. Where is GW Bush?

Come to think of it, he really never stomped for a Republican presidential candidate, has he?

15. I can't wait for Trumpty Dumpty to respond.

Obama plays 3-dimensional chess Spock-style, while Big Orange can barely comprehend Candyland.
