Michelle Obama Destroyed Trump in a Really Kind Voice
Latest

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has a bone to pick with America. On Monday night she delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention that was part reassuring and part, “How many times do I have to come to the rescue of this country” which is fair considering the woman gave up eight years of her life and proclaims to “hate politics.” Like most events in the last few months, the DNC was held virtually and Obama spoke directly into the void, starting off with a brief admiration of the “beauty and pain” in the American immigrant story. But once she was done patting America on the back, it was suddenly fuck-politics-o’clock. It was exactly the kind of energy America needs right now.
The queen of going high, Obama diverted from her usual elevated stance, taking a long stretch of minutes to descend into shitting on Donald Trump. She started off slow. “Being president doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are,” Obama said, stating that Donald Trump has had more than enough time to be the man we want him to be. But then Obama spelled it out plainly, “Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He’s in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. It is what it is.”
