Tweeters Stir Over Trump's Claim He 'Fell Asleep' To Barack Obama's Speech

Trump "fell asleep" during Barack Obama's speech because it wore him out looking up all those words in the dictionary.

Trump said he fell asleep during Obama’s speech.

The rest of us haven’t gotten a wink since November 2016.

Maybe Trump fell asleep - to complex sentences for him - but Melania was watching and recording Obama's speech...

trump said he tried to watch Obama's speech but fell asleep. This only illustrates his ignorance and his childishly short attention span. It was such a relief to hear an intelligent President expressing himself skillfully in complete sentences, without the spite and fearmongering pic.twitter.com/1BAjF7Sef8

Before Trump tries to call Obama low energy please remind him who fell asleep during the middle of the day! #MAGA

Trump said he fell asleep during President Obama’s speech. That’s a shame. If Trump had listened, he may have learned something about what America is all about and what Americans stand for. Just another missed opportunity.

Today #trump said #Obamas speech made him fall asleep.

However it wasn't because of boredom. The truth is the words Obama used and his message was way above his comprehension.@realDonaldTrump

Trump falling asleep during President Obama’s speech should tell you everything you need to know about Trump.

Of course Trump fell asleep. Obama sometimes uses words of more than 2 syllables.

Trump's slurring again, this time while mocking Pres. Obama by saying he fell asleep during the speech.

We didn't. We heard all of it, every intelligent, clear, rational, pointed, opposite-of-Trump word.

Trump said he watched and he fell asleep during Obama’s speech. Melania will now play that speech on repeat in the bedroom.
