On the eve of the Republican primary in Alabama, President Donald Trump may have committed a blunder that could backfire for his preferred candidate.

Trump is backing former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in his campaign against Jeff Sessions, who held the seat until retiring to become Trump’s attorney general.

In a campaign call with the former Auburn coach, Trump brought up current University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban. But Trump, who has repeatedly questioned Joe Biden’s mental prowess, screwed up Saban’s name.

The leader of the free world was ridiculed for the blunder, here’s some of what people were saying.

Newsweek:

For coaches of college teams, recruiting players is an all-consuming business. So consuming, in fact, that some even utilize a visit to the White House as an opportunity to impress potential prospects.

On Monday, Alabama coach Nick Saban took his team to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for what has become a tradition for the Crimson Tide after winning the national title and, as reported by CNN's Kaitlan Collins, he used the trip to reach out to some of the players he's been looking to recruit.

1. This might be a bigger deal than it seems.

Can't say I understand the football culture of the South but can appreciate the insult this will probably cause.

3. Lou Saban was a coach in the NFL and college for many decades of IQ45's life

It's not terribly surprising he messed up the name like that.

I don't think anyone but the people who already don't like him are going to give a crap, honestly.

Purportedly the two men are cousins, but perhaps 2nd, or even farther.

5. I remember him coaching the Denver Broncos many years ago. Late 60's I think.

2. You mean that the guy that says people should inject bleach is a bit off?

4. Who do we want to win ? If Sessions wins, will Trump be all nice to

him again ?
