Realistically, Obama would have to have done an absolutely horrific job for any logical person to definitively say that a black man will not be president again for "generations", especially given the direction the demographic of the US is heading. It's not a racist tweet, just a dumb exaggeration because he hates Obama.

Maybe just my own dislike for the man sneaking in, but the sentiment sounds like him projecting his own feelings onto the voting population. It's how he operates. He tells his followers how they should feel and then protects himself by saying that it was joke or "that is what people are saying, I dunno...", and things of that nature.
At the very least, he has no issue planting those ideas in people heads.
