Seizing on a report published by the New York Times earlier Sunday, President Barack Obama joked that Donald Trump’s campaign “had so little confidence in his self-control” that they took away his access to Twitter.
According to the Times report, members of Trump’s press team finally “wrested away” the Republican candidate’s access to Twitter, which previously served as an unfiltered channel for Trump to express his often colorful opinions.
“Apparently his campaign has taken away his Twitter,” a bemused Obama told the crowd at a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton in Kissimmee, Florida.
“In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self-control they said we are just going to take away your Twitter. Now, if somebody can’t handle a Twitter account, they can’t handle the nuclear codes,” Obama said. “If somebody starts tweeting at three in the morning because SNL made fun of you, then you can’t handle the nuclear codes.”
Watch his riff below:
He needS hiS tWitter bACk. This slight On TrumP by Crooked HitlarY saveD by ComeY re- inserting FBI needS to be Avenged!!! On twitter.
Pitch perfect attack from BHO. This’ll get him to run again in 2020.
At this late date I still can’t quite believe it’s true. This 70-year-old’s own campaign staff treat him like a 5-year-old and not a very mature 5-year-old either. If Trump doesn’t lash out over this mockery it’ll be because they had several special burly medical aides wrestle him down and shoot him full of morphine. Unbelievable.
I could just see an issue of the Onion setting off His Orangeness, and he would order a Davy Crockett strike on their HQ
That’s gonna leave a mark. Poor, poor Donald Duterte Amin Dada.
