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.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
