I really have to ask this: Trump laid off Zero for a long time. Was he just baiting him?
As long as he stayed out of the campaign and kept his silence, he was off limits, but now he’s fair game.....................
Of course. That’s Trump’s MO and I don’t think it’s a secret. He’s said so himself. He doesn’t attack unless someone attacks him first. Trump has said this repeatedly about himself.
So go ahead Barry, bring it. You can bully the GOP in Congress but you can’t bully Trump. Go ahead find that fact out for yourself.
“...The audience booed at one of Obama’s veiled references to Trump...”

Is that when Obama began stuttering????LOL....:o))
Well, he's not running against Obama, for one thing.
Also, he seems to have a strategy of talking about what concerns him, and what he will do as president. He criticizes the opposition in abstract terms, referring to them as "stupid politicians" and so forth, until the opposition takes a shot at him. At that point, he unloads, gets personal.
Trumps MO is usually to leave people alone until they attack him, then he hits back. Obama insulted Trump, who may very well be the next President, on foreign soil, no less. He said that world leaders were ‘rattled’ by Trump. So Obama is now fair game in Trump’s book. I agree.
He had to clear out the herd first. Then wait for Obama to blunder into making the first blow.
Could be he didn’t want to turn off any potential black voters who still might support zero. Zero is about to get that chip knocked off his shoulder.
