Yeah, well Obama isn't exactly the brightest bulb. Thought we have 57 states, can't pronounce the word, "corps" and said our Constitution is a "flawed document," and "a document of negative liberties" (from one who supposedly went to law school and falsely claimed to be a "Constitutional Law Professor").
Besides, you have certainly started your share of negative threads about President Trump. How many do you suppose you've started? Shall we take a count?
Funny to say someone who graduated from Columbia and Harvard Law is not the brightest bulb. First off, he was absolutely correct that the Constitution is a flawed document. It is a very good document, but no one with a brain would claim the Constitution is perfect.
Second, he is right in a sense about "negative liberties", although I do not consider that a flaw. The Constitution does not define what rights the people have, rather it tells us what powers the government does or does not have to restrict those rights. This is a common misunderstanding regarding the Constitution.
Third, why do you say he "supposedly" went to Law School? Are you claiming that Obama did not attend Harvard Law School, which is a matter of public record?
Finally, it depends on whether you are considering Professor in the sense of capital "P", which is a specific job title, or lower case "p" which is a more generic job description. That Obama taught courses in Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago is not in dispute. His title there was Senior Lecturer, not Professor. However, according to UC itself:
"From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors..."
His entire demeanor screams "dementia". There have been a lot of clips on the news of him being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey back in the 80s. It is shocking how different his speech, diction, and overall bearing is then from now. As Bannon put it, he has "lost it".
And compare Oprah’s non telepromptered speech from the Golden Globes with anything that Trump utters in public. He can’t even be bothered to rehearse the words to our anthem.

That was some speech! Whatever one thinks of Winfrey's politics, one thing is for certain, she is an extraordinarily-talented public speaker.
The Constitution is a contract between the States, which formed the Federal Government, the product of the Contract. The States are the Parties to the Contract. It defines the powers delegated to each branch. What powers are not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States.
My comments re. Obama and law school were sarcasm, which is why I said, "supposedly," as his Constitutional knowledge is shaky at best. He doesn't seem to understand it, much less respect it.
The Constitution, in the First Amendment, does define our rights, though it does not grant those rights. It affirms them, and says the Government shall not infringe upon or abridge those rights. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion (and free exercise thereof), freedom of the press, and the right to keep and bear arms.
While I don't like Trump, does it matter? I'm 50 and I haven't sung it in many, many years myself not sure I would remember ALL the words to it. Now does Trump understand the meaning behind the words?

Funny, Trump gave a speech yesterday in TN and was perfectly lucid and clear and the remarks went perfectly well. I've watched dozens of his rallies and prepared speeches and press
conferences, and he has been fine.
Meanwhile, let's see your qualifications that make you able to diagnose him. Or are you just conveniently echoing the latest talking points?

I'm doubtful.
So if you heard it over and over every day, as Trump has during his year-long presidency, you wouldn't remember the words and be able to sing along. It's weird.

I see your point but I would worry more about him understanding the meaning behind it.
