Donald Trump Tried to Come for Barack Obama During His Convention Speech With Unhinged All Caps Tweets--It Did Not Go Well

Donald Trump Tried to Come for Barack Obama During His Convention Speech With Unhinged All Caps Tweets--It Did Not Go Well

Former President Barack Obama spoke at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night in an impassioned address urging voters not to give up on the democratic process—and imploring them to participate in it.

The 20 minute speech was one of the President's most direct indictments of President Donald Trump's first term in office, with Obama asserting that Trump will never grow to meet the immensity of the office.


Watch below.

Obama said of Trump:

"I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously. That he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care. But he never did ... He's shown no interest in putting in the work, no interest in finding common ground, no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends ... Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job, because he can't, and the consequences of that failure are severe."

Trump only proved Obama right when he began firing off tweets in all-caps, reacting to Obama's speech in real time.


Trump yet again falsely accused Obama of spying on his campaign, and chastised Obama for not endorsing Biden until he was already the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Democratic nominee (and Obama's Vice President) Joe Biden didn't hesitate to point out that Trump only cemented Obama's point.

As Obama's character was on display in the convention, so too was Trump's on Twitter.






They soon began trolling Trump with their reverence for Obama.



Thursday is the final night of the Democratic National Convention, where Obama's former Vice President, Joe Biden, will officially accept the Democratic nomination for President.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
