Fox host Lou Dobbs says U.S. Marshals should haul Obama back to America
On Friday, Lou Dobbs, host of the Fox Business program Lou Dobbs Tonight, came to the defense of President Donald Trump over a veiled attack on him by former President Barack Obama.
After Obama sniped at Trump for his Twitter habits at a forum in India last week, Dobbs joked that Obama should be brought back by the U.S. Marshals. “Isn’t there some law that says presidents shouldn’t be attacking sitting presidents?” he asked.
Insults from Abroad
Just weeks after Trump arrived back in the United States from a tour in Asia, Obama embarked on his own tour. At a leadership forum in New Delhi on Friday, Obama made comments ostensibly aimed at his successor.
During the forum, Obama was asked to respond to critical statements his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, made Tuesday during a speech in Toronto. Michelle Obama had said it is not a good idea to “tweet from bed,” a shot aimed at Trump’s habitual morning tweets.
The former-President seconded his wife’s criticism. “Michelle was giving the general idea … don’t say the first thing that pops in your head. Have a little bit of an edit function,” he said.
“Think before you speak, think before you tweet,” Obama instructed, before going on to boast about having 100 million followers. “I actually have more than other people who use it more often.”
Trump has roughly 44 million followers on Twitter; nearly half of the 97.5 million Obama took over eight years to accrue, while Trump has held the same office for just over one year.
