US barack obama donald trump us election
Barack Obama shared some harsh truths about Donald Trump, but it was a gesture that served the hottest burn
Michelle and Barack Obama appeared on Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention, offering their full support for Kamala Harris, and they both went straight for the jugular on Trump’s character and record.
Here’s what Michelle said.
Michelle Obama: "For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of 2 hard-working highly educated successful people who happened to be Black." pic.twitter.com/fsAHLKP5if

People were very much here for it.

Michelle Obama is showing why Democrats beg her to do this thing she hates doing so much.
She’s amazingly good at it. Exceptional every time.
A singular political talent.

I can't even tell you how cathartic it is to watch Michelle Obama totally unload on the small man who did everything he could to make her and Barack's life hell.
She'd been holding back so long, and she was STILL graceful in her evisceration of trump.
VERY SATISFYING.

The jury’s out on whether the former President’s speech matched up to his wife’s, but this comment drew a few gasps. Well, not so much the comment as the subtle sign language that went with it.
Obama: Here is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. There's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes pic.twitter.com/WGwNOFinHK

Barack Obama basically just told the whole world that Donald Trump is small in the pants.

The comedic genius of this moment is Barack Obama giving a quick double-take reaction to the accordion gesture *his own hands are making*…right when they were at the *smallest* distance apart.#DNC2024CHICAGO pic.twitter.com/xjqunTxDzu

I really hope that Barack Obama’s most subtle of all dick jokes plays a small part in a two hour video essay about how America denied fascism made by some 24 year old in the year 2060.

Barack did a dick joke on live TV at the #DNC2024CHICAGO.
The Obamas truly give 0 F's.
And you know what? Good for them. Trump promoted the racist birther conspiracy, Republicans ran with it, and forced Obama to produce his birth certificate.
Let them humiliate Donald.

Did Obama just make a size joke on stage at the #DNC with his hands re Trump?
This ain’t the “When they go low, we go high” party anymore.

Oh yeah, I totally noticed that, and the crowd got it right away. He kept a straight face though. Wicked funny and plenty of plausible deniability. GENIUS!

Barack Obama detonates the gestural equivalent of a nuclear device at the DNC and you will absolutely know it when you see it. https://t.co/au4kAUFA2v
