Trump Goes After Michelle Obama: 'All She Wants To Do Is Campaign'

During his rally in Fletcher, North Carolina, on Friday, Donald Trump claimed that Michelle Obama's 2007 line about not being able to run the White House if you can't run your own house was a dig at Hillary Clinton, even though the Obamas have denied that was the case.

"We have a president, all he wants to do is campaign. His wife, all she wants to do is campaign. And I see how much his wife likes Hillary," Trump said. "But wasn't she the one that originally started the statement, if you can't take care of your home — right? — you can’t take care of the White House or the country."

"Where is that? I don't hear that. I don’t hear that. She's the one that started that. I said, 'We can’t say that, it’s too vicious.' Can you believe it? I said that," he continued. "They said, well Michele Obama said it. I said she did? Now she said that, but we don't hear about that."

To attack the most popular woman in the world, who happens to be married to one of the most powerful men. Good idea, Assface!

Enjoy your blowback!

Double-down, quadruple-down, whatever it takes. That may work on a personal level but not on a national campaign level. He doesn't understand that at all.

is a deadly mistake. But as I said in an earlier thread--Bring. It. On.

Then wait for the avalanche to begin online, on the cable shows and more importantly--at the polls. Because at the moment, Michelle Obama is the most popular political figure in the country. You don't throw stones at Elvis. Or Michelle O. Unless you want to be buried.

The man is amazingly tone deaf.

during the primaries so what's wrong with fighting your primary opponent?

He's mad Michelle is campaigning for Hillary because he knows Michelle is more liked than he and his entire robot family will ever be.

The best he can come up with is an idiotic, pathetic complaint. She is a fabulous First Lady who has actually achieved things in life, inspires people in a positive way, earned her degrees and doesn't need to lie about them, and the hallmark of her career isn't posing nude in risque photos!

What an idiotic speaker he is, just as bad as Palin... I'll be so relieved when this election is over and Hillary has won! I wholeheartedly support her, but I also wholeheartedly despise him in equal measure. With any luck, Hillary will have a landslide win, and Trump will not only lose, but his "brand" will take a hit with huge financial losses, and maybe he'll end up in prison where he belongs for the numerous criminal activities he's engaged in. How many of us could start a bogus charity, use the money for our own purchases or to pay off personal debt and not be arrested? What about bribing people? What about fraud and racketeering with Trump U? What about encouraging a foreign power to intervene in an election and hack your opponent's email? What about sexual assault and quite possibly rape?

The Obamas? How did bring in Barack's half brother work out for him at that debate? Maybe Barack didn't kick his ass, but someone did.

And now Michelle? Is he mad that Michelle gave the same speech before Melania?
