Donald Trump Is Getting Dragged for His Questionable Attempt to Clap Back at Michelle Obama After She Says She'll Never Forgive Him

Donald Trump Is Getting Dragged for His Questionable Attempt to Clap Back at Michelle Obama After She Says She'll Never Forgive Him
CNN

Swing and a miss.

President Donald Trump on Friday jabbed at former First Lady Michelle Obama over her soon-to-be-released memoir in which Mrs. Obama writes she will "never forgive" Trump for his part in the racist "birther" conspiracy theory that targeted her husband.

In her memoir, BecomingMrs. Obama savaged Trump for fueling false rumors that the 44th president was not born an American citizen.


"The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks, Mirs. Obama writes in her book. "What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him.”

Mrs. Obama knocks Trump's entire presidential bid as a form of "grandstanding," adding that Trump's brand can be summed up as "I can hurt you and get away with it.”

The president went into a tirade against the Obamas Friday morning.

"She got paid a lot of money to write a book and they always expect a little controversy," Trump said of Mrs. Obama.

Trump then aimed his fire at former President Barack Obama, saying:

"I'll give you a little controversy back, I'll never forgive him for what he did to our US military. It was depleted, and I had to fix it...I'll never forgive him for what he did to our military. I'll never forgive him for what he did in many other ways which I'll talk to you about in the future."

Trump did not specify what the "many other ways" are.

Watch the president's remarks below:

Trump was blasted, for the comment, as some reminded him of Obama's actual military accomplishments:

Not to mention Trump's own hypocrisy on the issue.

We are spending more now on our military than ever before, a trend that has transcended presidencies.

His bitter narcissism is showing, as is his grudge against Obama.

Let's not forget which party was in charge for most of Obama's presidency - Trump's GOP.

Others are simply sick of Trump's non-stop whining. And his unpresidential behavior.

Trump is flat out lying about Obama, but no one is surprised.

Unlike Trump, Mrs. Obama is highly revered.

Sigh.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
