Donald Trump at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, exploded Michelle Obama for being “mean” to him even though he was “kind and respectful” to her. “You know who’s mean to me? Michelle Obama, oh,” the former president told supporters.

“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, oh, she opened a little bit of—a little bit of a box. She opened a little bit of something. Oh, she was mean, woo. I shouldn’t be like that. It’s a big mistake she made,” he added.

When Michelle Obama attacked Donald Trump

Trump made the comments after Obama attacked the former president at a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she supported Kamala Harris. “I have to ask myself, ‘Why the hell is this race still close?'” Obama said. “I lie awake at night wondering, ‘What’s going on?'”

Obama explained that she thought high expectations had been placed on Harris, while Trump’s flaws were overlooked. “We hold Kamala to a higher standard than her opponent. We expect her to be intelligent and articulate and to prove it time and time again,” she said. “But with Trump, we expect nothing at all. No understanding of politics. No ability to put together a coherent argument. Instead, too many people are willing to ignore his petty antics.

“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us choose to ignore Donald Trump’s blatant incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn,” she said .

“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry because we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, to his obvious mental decline, to his past as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a convicted predator responsible for sexual abuse, all while we cherry-pick Kamala’s answers from interviews he doesn’t even have the guts to do, y’all,” she added.
