Trump’s Latest Angry Comment About Michelle Obama Sounds Like A Threat

Disgraced ex-president Donald Trump is spiraling out of control in the final days of the 2024 election, and something he said Monday during a campaign rally in Atlanta sounds like a threat aimed directly at former first lady Michelle Obama.

“You know who was nasty to me? Michelle Obama.”

“I always tried to be so nice and respectful,” he added, which is about as far from the truth as anything the failed former president has ever uttered.

Then came the threat.

Michelle Obama “opened up a little bit of a, a little bit of a box,” Trump said. “She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty, oooh.”

“That was a big mistake that she made.”

Here’s the video. The comments about Mrs. Obama begin at the 1:28:00 mark:

The remarks from Trump were shared online by the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, which called it an “unhinged rant” that sounds like he’s “seeking retribution.”

Others on social media also joined the discussion.

Michelle Obama Lays A Hilarious Fact-Check On Trump For One Of His Biggest Lies

Former First Lady Michelle Obama says she can verify that the crowd for Donald Trump’s inauguration in January of 2017 was indeed tiny, and all of the “alternative facts” in the world can’t change that fact.

On the latest episode of “Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast,” Mrs. Obama recalls what it was like to leave the White House after her husband had been president for eight years, according to The Washington Post.

“We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” Obama says of her daughters, Malia and Sasha. “They remembered Chicago, but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.”

Arriving at Trump’s inauguration, Obama said, was very disappointing.

“To sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display — there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage. … But you had to hold it together like you do for eight years.”

The former first lady then noted just how sparse the attendance was for Trump’s swearing in:

“You walk through the Capitol, you wave goodbye, you get on Marine One, and you take your last flight flying over the Capitol, where there weren’t that many people there — we saw it, by the way.”

You probably recall that numerous Trump administration officials claimed, as then-press secretary Sean Spicer incorrectly asserted, it was “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.”

The largest audience to ever witness an inauguration was probably in 2009, when Barack Obama was sworn in for the first time, the only African-American in U.S. history to ever be elected to the office of the presidency.
