25 April 17
n
an appearance at the University of Chicago on Monday, former President
Barack Obama unloaded a relentless barrage of complete sentences in what
was widely seen as a brutal attack on his successor, Donald Trump.
Appearing at his first public event since leaving
office, Obama fired off a punishing fusillade of grammatically correct
sentences, the likes of which the American people have not heard from
the White House since he departed.
“He totally restricted his speech to complete
sentences,” Tracy Klugian, a student at the event, said. “It was the
most vicious takedown of Trump I’d ever seen.”
“About five or six sentences in, I noticed that all of
his sentences had both nouns and verbs in them,” Carol Foyler, another
student, said. “I couldn’t believe he was going after Trump like that.”
Obama’s blistering deployment of complete sentences
clearly got under the skin of their intended target, who, moments after
the event, responded with an angry tweet: “Obama bad (or sick) guy.
Failing. Sad!”
