Michelle Obama took a buzz saw to Donald Trump during her Democratic National Convention speech Tuesday, unloading a savage attack on the Republican presidential nominee to the rousing applause of the packed crowd.
The former First Lady and wife of the 44th President Barack Obama hit the stage for night 2 of the DNC — and she couldn’t hide her contempt when she started talking about Trump and his racist rhetoric.
In perhaps the most memorable moment, Michelle told the audience that she and her husband know a little something about Trump trying to make people fear them.
She said Trump’s narrow vision of the world made him feel threatened by the success of 2 highly educated Black people.

Then Michelle delivered the punch line, “Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those “Black jobs?”‘
Of course, Michelle was referring to Trump’s racially charged remarks that immigrants are taking Black jobs during the first presidential debate back in June.
Michelle went on to endorse the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, calling the current VP a dignified person who has lived a life of government service to help others.
Michelle then introduced Barack, who also spent much of his speech ripping Trump to shreds, calling him a 78-year-old billionaire and conspiracy theorist who constantly whines about his own problems.

Both Obamas are being lauded for their delivery at the DNC, but it’s Barack who might have pulled off the best verbal sleight of hand, if you will.
The former prez mocked Trump’s obsession with crowd sizes, but ever so subtly turned it into a penis joke, too. If you haven’t seen it, you gotta watch the video.
Politics aside, Barack’s delivery belongs in the double entendre hall of fame. They really should make one.
