Trump lashes out at Michelle Obama over address at Democratic convention

President Trump early Tuesday lashed out at Michelle Obama after the former first lady issued a blistering criticism of the incumbent president during remarks at the virtual Democratic convention.

“Somebody please explain to @MichelleObama that Donald J. Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama,” Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning.

Trump, who did not criticize Michelle Obama directly, went on to call presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden an “afterthought” and accused former President Barack Obama of offering a “very late & unenthusiastic endorsement” of his former vice president. Barack Obama endorsed Biden, who served as his vice president for eight years, after it was clear that Biden was the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee.

“My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow,” Trump continued, defending his administration’s response to the novel coronavirus, which has now killed more than 170,000 Americans and devastated the U.S. economy.

Methinks attacking Michelle Obama is not going to win him any friends

[Ohiogal]

1. I don't even think

most of his party believes his outrageous lies any more. Only the Koolaid drinkers

[AirmensMom]

2. It makes me so sad

that a President of the United States acts like a middle school bully at every opportunity. I'm embarrassed.

The Democrats are reminding the country and the world what adults look like. The contrast couldn't be more pronounced.

[Jamastiene]

11. I noticed that too.

Trump and his followers/worshipers are bullies. They are childish. Last night felt like healing, for the first time in almost four years. I hope we can manage to get all our votes counted and get to have lots of years of healing, right down the line. I added it up. There have only been 3 Democratic presidents in my lifetime and 6 Republicans. I hope that changes for the better for the last part of my life.

[yaesu]

3. yeah, the bloated dictator is going to do this all week and its not news, its propaganda,campaigning

I say boycott any propaganda from the orange nazi, keep it off DU, saves me the work of trashing them.

[Dios Mio]

24. Wouldn't it be amazing

if he actually discussed one policy issue. Just one.

[Lonestarblue]

4. Michelle basically called him incapable of doing the job of president.

She said that being president is hard, and that Trump just didn’t have what it takes to do a good job. She’s right.

[Scarsdale]

15. Without Putin's help

the orange blob of blubber would never have made it into the WH. Certainly he did not get there on his merits. Golfing and TV appearances are just a fraction of the REAL job. tRump will never understand this, he is not intelligent enough.

[greymattermom]

16. No stamina, right?

All he can do is golf on his own courses. He has NO STAMINA.

[CaptYossarian]

5. He said the "beautiful White House" was a dump.

I guess my house only needs a gold toilet to "make it great again".

He's flailing. He sounds like those old cranks in the balcony of the Muppet Show.

Maybe he needs some MEGA Mucil.

[Wednesdays]

58. At least Statler and Waldorf are entertaining!

tRump is just flailing (and failing), but unlike him, these guys are funny!

[CaptYossarian]

59. Thanks for that Cabinet meeting between Trump and Wilbur Ross.

[eShirl]

6. He's only there because of shitty people who vote for racists.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. And fux and hate radio.

The reich wing universe, I’d like to see it dismantled.

[CincyDem]

20. Let's be clear - they're not "shitty people"...voting for a racist makes ya a racist.

[PJMcK]

28. Well, racists are shitty people

Wouldn't you say?

[CincyDem]

44. Agree completely.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Pathetic and low energy.

Trump is losing badly.

[Crowman2009]

18. The Orange prick has as he would say, no stamina!

Now that's some big-time projection.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Trump is degrading even himself, he's a slime on civilization /nt

[rpannier]

9. Trump lashes out at...

the guy running the camera, the person who made sure Michelle could be heard, the company that sold the shampoo Sanders uses
That's all he does is snivel and whine
King Snowflake in action (emphasis on flake)

[RobertDevereaux]

12. Headline writers, you're not listening to me!

Never “lashes out.”

Always “wet-noodles out.“

DO NOT use power words when referencing this motherfucker.

[Chainfire]

13. She got under his skin.....good!

[FBaggins]

14. Let me guess

She’s nasty?

[greymattermom]

17. Nasty

the next N word?

[Scarsdale]

19. He married a former

escort/nude model. Obviously she married him for his money (she mistakenly thought he was rich) What right does he have to call a decent woman "nasty"? He is having to pay his wife to stay with him for appearances, but she keeps giving the game away, by smacking his hand away. What a joke this whole charade of a presidency has become.

[VA_Jill]

21. Awwww

Apparently she hurted his wittle fee-fees.

[BootinUp]

22. We're just getting started little orange man.

It is what it is. That was f’in brilliant Michelle.

[beachbumbob]

23. BLACK female comments criticizing trump is always the perfect retort to highlight trumps

racism and misogynistic ways. 10x better when its a former first lady highly respected in US and around the world

[left-of-center2012]

25. Trump has Melania

Wasn't Melania a porn 'star'?

Michelle Obama went to Princeton and Harvard, getting a law degree.

[efhmc]

47. Freaky and weird. I actually feel sorry for women who think that this is the only

way they can make their way in this world of misogynistic white guys. If you, Melania, have the brains that you supposedly do, you would not need to attach yourself to this creepy guy. It is of course the easiest way, at least when you are young and "beautiful". But the day will come when even with the amount of surgery that the "first" first lady has had that you are old and will need something else to rely on.

[ancianita]

26. oops there goes the black women's vote

[PJMcK]

27. Regarding your comment at the end of your post

Trump doesn't have any friends.

[UpInArms]

33. ...

and, he is killing his cult members ...

[musclecar6]

29. What

A delusional fuck. He’s not worthy of shining Michelle’s shoes.

[MissMillie]

30. Well, of course he's LYING

His economy was not as good as Obama's

[Lock him up.]

34. Trump Gangster Regime's mob bo$$ is lying again.

'DESPERATE SITUATION' US GDP plunges RECORD 32.9 percent and jobless numbers stay stagnant with 1.43 million new unemployed


RICO THE TRUMP MOB - ITS mob bo$$ AND ITS GANG$TEr rEGIME ACCOMPLICE$

[davsand]

31. If Obama had been eligible for another term he'd still be in the Whitehouse.

Donnie would still be a reality show game host rather than a boil on the ass of America and a mass murderer. Imagine our lives if Obama had been able to go one more term, and resolve to vote and talk to everyone you know about the importance of voting!



Laura

[kimbutgar]

32. Did you expect anything less!

I’m sure he was seething during the entire speech. Too bad he didn’t stroke out in anger.

[Kris Mac]

35. News flash

She does not care.

[stillcool]

36. buckle up Donnie...

it's going to be a nasty ride.

[George II]

37. He's angry because she used so many big words that Melania won't be able to plagiarize it next week.

[rocktivity]

38. But you DIDN'T beat Obama, President Putin Puppet,

and you couldn't have if you wanted to because he'd ALREADY served two terms!


rocktivity

[flibbitygiblets]

39. wow, I predicted he'd go after her by 5:30am

came in just under the wire, predictably

[Aviation91]

40. The Economy...

Who has truly benefited from "his" great economy?? Who has he actually looked out for in almost four years, millionaires and billionaires! The people he has hurt the most are his own voters and it's sad because some still believe his lies as they have lost their jobs and some have had to close down their businesses because of this virus. Many are now applying for assistance or go to food banks! Yet he counts on the poor to help him win re-election!!

[zaj]

41. It's not "blistering". Triggering Trump doesnt harm any Democrats

It's weak.
It's insecure.
It's flascid.
It's childish.
It's mean.
It's lame.
It's boring.
It's petty.

But it's not blistering... at all.

[judesedit]

42. Someone please remind Dump that he wouldn't be there if Obama hadn't turned the economy around

after another recession due to the prior rethug in the WH. Dump inherited the good economy and stock market. The dems always have to clean up the mess the rethugs make. Dump's a failure in all he touches.

[DallasNE]

43. "Saved Millions Of Lives"?

By removing the CDC team on the ground in China only months before the outbreak Trump assured that the pandemic would not be contained. That not only cost 160,000 American lives but an untold number in other nations as well. It is a record that can never ever be forgiven. And his comments here show that he is incapable of ever managing the affairs of this country. That someone would vote for Trump is a death wish for this once great nation.

[JudyM]

60. He is tipping his hand, practicing for his sure-to-be-boorish-and-delusory convention.

[AllyCat]

45. He hates being upstaged by a strong black woman

Heck, he hates being called out by anyone but MO really chaps his hide.

[iluvtennis]

46. Michelle Obama: "Donald Trump is the wrong president for this country; he is in over his head."

It's shark week MF. (Lifted from Gov Gretchen Whitmer)

[Thekaspervote]

48. Oh STFU dotard!! Nobody cares what you think

[efhmc]

49. Whatever.

[NNadir]

50. As usual, the senile weak minded racist in the White House...

...is clueless.

[634-5789]

51. .."now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is ....

....now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow,” Trump continued..PLEASE! FFS, tell the Orange Moron that the goddamn stock market is NOT...I repeat...NOT the ECONOMY!

[Illumination]

52. This is like a lying child babbling to professionals...He's not

credible. He has very little real knowledge of the world, history or people in it! What he sees in himself & hates, he projects on others His aunt Maryanne says: "He's a clown". His cousin Mary calls him a "sociopath" & that his "hubris & willful ignorance" threatens the country...

[grobertj]

53. Trump's head must have exploded

I'd give anything to be a fly on the wall while Trump watched Michelle's speech. I'll be his head exploded. He has no idea how to attach her. She's the most popular person in the country, and he knows it. I can't wait to hear what Jill has to say!!

[Warpy]

54. Asshole, the only thing that put you there was the COLOR of her husband

and a lot of help from Putin and that rat basterd Comey. Now go away.

[Stuart G]

55. Just Two More Words: He's Nuts.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Wizard]

56. She gave Trump

the vapors.

[bdamomma]

57. He's

a bully personified, what else is new, you idiot boy??? The truth hurts doesn't it???

They just HATE SMART WOMEN!!!

[Laha]

61. The beautiful white house?

The one he called a fucking dump? Can this idiot be even more transparent? I'm not even in the same country and I can see right through him.
