Former President Barack Obama deconstructed some of Donald Trump’s playbook attacks while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada on Saturday.
Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Obama accused the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), of leaning on scaremongering about immigration as an answer to any issue.
“If you challenge them, they’ll fall back on one answer. It does not matter what it is — housing, health care, education, paying for the bills — one answer: blame the immigrants,” he said.
“He wants you to believe that if you elect him, he will just round up whoever he wants and ship them out and all your problems will be solved,” he added.
He acknowledged that there’s a “real issue” at the border and elements of the system are “broken,” but criticized Trump’s approach.
“When I hear Donald Trump talk … he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years,’” he added. “Dude, you were president for four years!”
I think my wife has said something similar. If someone said that to me I’d probably be like “yeah… I do need a long nap”.
I wish it wasn’t construed as an insult, I look tired because I’m tired. I ask if you look tired because you show signs of being tired, I’m not saying you look like shit.
There is some context that you are probably missing. This is a quote from a Dr Who episode where the Doctor uses 6 words to undermine the current prime minister’s administration.

IRL I think it could be an insult or showing sincere concern, depending on the situation
That however only works in a sort of sane, trusting and honest environment - basically something to undermine to begin with. If everyone is just utterly hellbend on lying and twisting reality, it becomes just noise and has no impact.
Capaldi and Matt Smith are my personal Favorites. I like Tennant, but the utter “sassyness” of Smith and Capaldis versions where sublime to me…
