Barack Obama Refuses to Call Donald Trump “President” in Speech (VIDEO and Transcript)

Barack Obama crawled out of his hole Friday and trashed President Trump–calling him out by name, then took credit for the booming economy. 

Obama gave a speech at the University of Illinois Friday and arrogantly took credit for Trump’s booming economy.

Barack Obama couldn’t even run a lemonade stand; he is the only president in history to never see a single year of 3.0% GDP growth yet here he is with a smug look on his face giving himself credit for Trump’s accomplishments.

Barack Obama also called out Trump by his name.. but NOT president.

Former President Obama: It did not start with Donald Trump.  He is a symptom not a cause.  He’s just capitalizing on resentments politicians have been fanning for years.  A fear and anger that’s rooted in our past but it’s also born out of the enormous upheavals that have taken place in your brief lifetimes…

Here is the full transcript. Obama never once referred to President Trump as President Trump.

Barack Obama famously told Trump in 2016 that he would never be president.
He was wrong then, too.
