President Donald Trump lashed out at former First Lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday in retaliation for the speech she gave against him at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
“Somebody please explain to Michelle Obama that Donald J. Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama,” Trump said. “Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement.”
….My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!

Looking back into history, the response by the ObamaBiden team to the H1N1 Swine Flu was considered a weak and pathetic one. Check out the polling, it’s really bad. The big difference is that they got a free pass from the Corrupt Fake News Media!

The ObamaBiden Administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, the biggest political scandal in the history of our Country. It’s called Treason, and more. Thanks for your very kind words Michelle!

As you can see, Trump went on with his Twitter retort by bragging about the state of the economy, which remains in a crater due to the financial impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. From there, Trump went off on the Obama administration’s “weak and pathetic” response to the H1N1 swine flu years ago, a talking point he has frequently used and a misleading comparison to the coronavirus he has been repeatedly fact-checked on. Finally, Trump resorted to his claim that the Obama Administration committed treason by “SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN,” even though the president has never been able to explain what exactly his predecessor did that was supposedly illegal.
All of this comes in response to Mrs. Obama’s Monday night speech where she slammed him across the board for his lack of empathy, his mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic, and his failures in leadership.
“Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country,” Obama said. “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.”
