'I watched, but I fell asleep': An unimpressed Trump shrugs off Obama's fiery speech at University of Illinois
On Friday, former President Barack Obama delivered a rather fervent speech slamming President Donald Trump and the Republican party for allegedly fueling "division and resentment." However, as reports suggest, Obama's words were akin to a lullaby for President Trump, who says he went to sleep after listening to him.
In traditional Trumpian fashion, the president teased the former leader at a political rally for GOP Senate candidate Kevin Cramer in Fargo, North Dakota, saying, "I'm sorry, I watched, but I fell asleep...I found he's very good for sleeping."
Later in the day, at a rally for gubernatorial candidate Rep. Kristi Noem in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, he further quipped: "President Obama made a speech, now if that doesn't get you out to vote for the midterms, nothing will."
