On Sunday, President Donald Trump slipped up during his reading of a speech on Islam, saying “Islamic” rather than “Islamist,” a minor mistake, seemingly, but one which tars an entire religion with one brush rather than that religion’s extremist fringe.


CNN’s Jim Acosta said on Twitter that the White House admits that Trump misspoke, but blamed the error on a lack of rest, saying that the president is “exhausted” after only two days of travel.





Twitter users responded with a collective Anderson Cooper eye roll.

are needed. He's the OLDEST President ever, I think. I think that's partly to blame for his brain farts and detachment from reality. He gets confused, forgets what he said, forgets what he's supposed to say, gets tired.

Sorry, but a round of golf is not exerting, if people thought that meant he was in good shape. He's gotten obese, unhealthy, and too old for the job. HIM. Someone else might be different.

That's the root of his problems. It is exhausting to continually lie and try to follow up on your lies and keep them all straight.

He just can't admit he made, no matter how insignificant, a mistake. Gotta blame it on something.........

apparently erratic sleep patterns, continual high stress. Hell yes, he's exhausted and it's his fault. He's a slave to his greed, ego and appetites.

When the 3:00am call comes in, he will already be awake...... but

he will be too busy tweeting to answer the phone.

He has to allocate his energy for the 'important' stuff.
