Donald Trumps latest attempt at a crowd-pleasing jab backfired spectacularly when he tried to goad a crowd of Navy officers into booing Barack Hussein Obamaonly to be met with stony silence.
Speaking roughly 45 minutes behind schedule at the U.S. Navys 250th anniversary celebration in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday, the president addressed rows of active-duty service membersmany of them unpaid amid the ongoing government shutdownunder a blazing afternoon sun. The meandering, hour-long speech drifted between war stories, campaign-style quips, and personal boasts, but it was his attempt to drag Obama into the mix that most visibly flopped.
A man that everybody loves, he was my doctor in the White House and I got to know him very well, Trump began, referring to his former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson. He was also the doctor for Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?
He paused, waiting for a reaction. None came. The silence stretched on.

Trump et al. might want to do a little historical research into names from that part of the world.

(1,533 posts)The name Hussein (also spelled Husayn, Hussain, or Hüseyin) is of Arabic origin and means "good" or "handsome". It is a diminutive form of the name Hasan and signifies a "little beauty" or "little good one". Historically, the name holds immense significance as it was the name of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who is deeply revered, especially in Shia Islam.
