Donald Trump mistakenly calls Nick Saban ‘Lou’ repeatedly while endorsing Tommy Tuberville

President Donald Trump again endorsed former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville on Monday night ahead of Tuesday’s special runoff election in Alabama.

In doing so, however, he may have severely offended every single Crimson Tide fan in the state.

Trump, attempting to praise Alabama coach Nick Saban, repeatedly called him “Lou Saban” instead.

‘Really successful coach,” Trump said about Tuberville on a conference call, via Alabama.com. “Beat Alabama, like six in a row, but we won’t even mention that. As he said … because of that, maybe we got ‘em Lou Saban … And he’s great, Lou Saban, what a great job he’s done.
