We may have reached peak-TDS with this one. Trump is a racist because he used the “H” in Barack H. Obama:
Trump just called Obama at rally in Indiana “Barack H. Obama.” (Not very subtle)

Trump noted Donnelly will campaign with "Barack H. Obama" this weekend — writing out the "H" with his finger in the air.

Trump: “Barack H. Obama” (air-spells an H with his finger)

Trump in Indianapolis emphasizes Obama’s middle name:
“No surprise that Joe Donnelly is holding a rally this weekend with Barack H. Obama.”

He’s a “schmuck,” you see:
I know I shouldn’t be shocked by anything the schmuck currently occupying the Oval Office does, and yet… still shocked. https://t.co/VG5WSVrSMv

Watch:
Trump mentions "Barack H Obama" tonight at an Indiana rally, emphasizing the H by drawing it with his finger. Subtle. pic.twitter.com/9pfEH0gw5C

Also, Trump refers to himself as “Donald J. Trump” which makes this even less of a big deal:
On Iran's calls for Israel's destruction POTUS says in Jerusalem: "Not with Donald J. Trump. Believe me."

Coming in second place for totally stupid, made-up controversies, reporters are also angry that the president said he had “nothing else to do” while en-route to a rally in West Virginia so he watched Barack H. Obama’s speech:
He had nothing else to do? https://t.co/TqFsJyry41

Because killing time on an hour or so flight is totally the same as this:
He just canceled his trip to Colombia later this month because they said he's got too much to do. https://t.co/mP6vXZCQIl

Hopefully, these two NYT reporters investigate further!
Thank goodness you guys are on the case. I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of this important story one way or the other.
