Donald Trump can't keep his Midwesterners straight.
At a campaign stop in South Carolina on Tuesday, Trump repeatedly referred to retired neuosurgeon Ben Carson as "Obama."
"What Ted Cruz did to Obama, where he said that Obama had quit the race and take our votes," Trump began to say before being corrected by his audience.
In fact, he was referring to an incident in which members of Cruz's campaign spread reports suggesting that Carson was dropping out of the race on the day of the Iowa caucuses. People in the crowd started yelling that it was Carson.
"Right? Is that right?" asked Trump shrugging, before realizing his mistake.
"I'm sorry. Carson. Carson. He said that -- Obama. Obama should've quit the race," Trump said, catching himself.
Trump's dig at President Obama prompted laughter and applause from the crowd. "Wouldn't that have been nice," Trump said.
Obama hails from Chicago and his mother was from Kansas. Carson was born in Detroit. Both men are African-American.
If Trump had also been able to work Bill Cosby into the story, it would have been epic.
English isn’t your first language?
That may be part of it, but it sure looks bad to observers. If she just doesn't want to be there, he should leave her home with relatives, so she can attend school, etc. BUT, Teddy Bare is all about appearances, not always substance.
He is probably a good lawyer. They get paid to speak for those that pay them. At least he is following through with that!
What do thinks the excuse for his wife doing the same? She turned away from his kiss, too!
Well that does it! I’m voting for Obama!
Maybe he’s a miserable so and so at home.
This idiot will never be elected to much. This entertainment is just bread and circuses for the masses while we await the coronation of Hillary.
He corrected himself. Dear God - this is a nothing burger.I love the smell of desperation in the morning.
Yea He corrected himself alright after he called Mr Carson Obama several times. Then he corrected himself when the audience corrected him!!!! The guy is losing it!! Twitter tantrum time!!!
Meh... We all look alike. /sarc
Oopsie for Trump. I’ll give him a Mulligan.
My daughter was just like that at that age. It wasn’t cool to get a kiss from daddy.
Yikes!
The MSM will rip Trump apart on the race issue when they decide to go after him in the general election. He’s given them too much ammunition.

He repeats himself a lot.
Now this.
If that’s all you got....pretty lame....

I heard those same attacks against Reagan once the opposition ran out of anything substantial.
Boom!
But the ladies say you’re the best lookin’ ;)
After hundreds of speeches even Trump makes mistakes. No one is immune. Obama has made some major gaffes and Biden is a gaff machine.
doesn’t drink or smoke.
