President Donald Trump fired back at Michelle Obama on Tuesday after the former first lady launched a broadside against him during the first night of the Democratic National Convention.
What did Obama say?
In a lengthy speech, Obama invoked "going high" — but proceeded to bash Trump and blame him for all of the problems facing America. Obama called it the "cold hard truth."
"So let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is," she said.
In sum, Obama blamed Trump for the economic peril facing America due to the coronavirus and claimed the Trump White House represents "chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy."
