Donald Trump Slams President Obama’s ‘Boring’ It’s ‘Hard To Watch’

Donald Trump, 69, is at it again! The Republican candidate couldn’t keep his mouth shut as President Barack Obama, 54, delivered his final State of the Union address, and he didn’t have the kindest things to say. We know these two have very different political views, but Trump took things to a whole new level this time!

“The #SOTU speech is really boring, slow, lethargic – very hard to watch!” Trump wrote on Twitter. Surprisingly, he kept quiet while the address aired live on Jan. 12, but he, of course, had to get that one dig in! The GOP hopeful is never one to shy away from airing out his honest opinions, and honestly, this could have been MUCH worse…but it was still pretty inappropriate!
