It was Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, Hillary campaign staffer in 2008 and current unofficial advisor, who said Hillary's instincts are "suboptimal"; Tanden was referring to Hillary's political, not policy, instincts. The remark was exposed in the Wikileaks dump taken from the John Podesta hack.

I don't think Obama ever said anything of the sort. Of course Donald Trump is a compulsive liar. I watched some of his speech today, which I assume was written by Kellyanne Conway or some other minion. It was surreal.
