Donald Trump is living rent free in Barack Obama’s head.
The president has taken up Hillary Clinton’s cause of stoking fear over a potential Trump presidency, and again, Obama devolved into stuttering while making the case.
That happened again in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Wednesday as Obama was reading a teleprompter.
“And, I, I, I, I, I want to speak not just to Democrats. I want to speak to Republicans of North Carolina, as well,” Obama said.
“You know, uh, uh, uh — Look, I, I, I am obviously a partisan Democrat. I understand that, but, we’re not Democrats or Republicans first, we’re Americans first.
“There are certain standards we should expect out of our leaders,” Obama said, criticizing Trump.
“I’ve got Republican friends who don’t think or act the way Donald Trump does. This is somebody who is uniquely unqualified.
“I ran against John McCain. I ran against Mitt Romney. I thought I’d be a better president but I never thought the republic was at risk if they were elected,” Obama said.
In June, after the president’s teleprompter reportedly malfunctioned, he was forced to talk off the top of his head.
The Blaze captured the moment:
“If we turn against each other based on divisions of race or religion,” he began — and then the president seemed to have trouble coming up with the words to follow “if,” which he repeated multiple times.
Obama then came back with a warning to not fall “for a bunch of okie doke just because, you know, it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative” — along with some noticeable pauses — “then we won’t build on the progress that we’ve started.”
