Donald Trump has reportedly had his personal Twitter account taken out of his hands until the election is over and President Obama took a jab at him for losing his favorite late night soapbox.

The New York Times reported the story shortly before Obama took the stage at a Hillary Clinton rally in Florida on Sunday.

“In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self-control, they said we’re just gonna take away your Twitter. Now if somebody can’t handle a Twitter account, they can’t handle the nuclear codes. If somebody starts tweeting at 3 in the morning because “SNL” made fun of you, then you can’t handle the nuclear codes,” President Obama said.

Watch his remarks below.

Trump has caused trouble for himself throughout the campaign with his tweeting, including asking the nation to look for a sex tape which does not exist.

Melania Trump has said she would work to combat bullying as First Lady, an odd choice considering her husband’s behavior.

Clinton recently revealed a $500 million plan to stop bullying.
