There are some people out there who believe that Barack Obama might come back to politics and try to perform a coup to retake the office of United States President.
Most, if not all of them are crackpots.
That being said, the always informative tool that is Google Home isn’t helping matters when you literally ask it, “Is Obama planning a coup?”

Naturally, as it always does, Twitter had funny thoughts…
the worst part of this video is that google home doesn't know how to pronounce coup d'etat

For the record, Alexa has no idea what the hell Google Home is smoking.
And as for Siri? Well…
well, Siri has only just learned how to find the cricket score and pronounces ODI as "oddy' 🙂
