Watch: Obama ‘Trips Over His Tongue’ When He Goes off Teleprompter to Bash Trump

President Obama, lauded as one of America’s premier orators when he was elevated to the White House back in 2008, had a stuttering moment Wednesday as he was trying to trash Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“If we turn against each other based on divisions of race or religion. If-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if we, if we fall for, you know, a bunch of okie-doke, just because, you know it-it-uh. You know, it-it-it-it-it-it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative,” Obama said during an appearance in Elkhart, Indiana.

John S. Roberts, writing on Young Conservatives, noted that he was never impressed with Obama the orator in the first place.

“Barack Obama is usually known for being an eloquent speaker. I guess, right? That’s what people say,” Roberts wrote. “I mean, the man has used the word ‘uh’ more than anyone in recent memory.”

Roberts then called Obama’s inability to get through one sentence attacking Trump “tripping over his tongue.”

Jim Hoft wrote on Gateway Pundit, “Poor Barack. He wanted to sound more powerful. He really did! Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned. He turned into a stuttering mess.”

Others noticed the rhetorical pothole as well.

“In the past I’ve pointed out when this guy stutters he is lying. Towards the end of his economic speech he was hinting to Trump and trying to slide in a cheap shot or two but that truthful Achilles heel kicked in!” wrote BMartin1776 on Saving the Republic.
