Trump responds to Michelle Obama with rant about her husband: 'I'll never forgive him'

President Donald Trump lashed out at his predecessor after he was asked to respond to former first lady Michelle Obama’s critical comments about his “birther” conspiracy theories.

In her forthcoming memoir, she described Trump’s “birther” falsehoods as “crazy and mean-spirited,” and motivated by racist bigotry, and she accused him of deliberately stoking those conspiracy theories to “stir up the wingnuts and kooks.”


“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington?” Michelle Obama wrote. “What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him.”

Trump was asked Friday morning to comment on her criticism, and he attacked former President Barack Obama.

She is just worried about her families safety, what kind of a madman would sputter such nonsense that puts a family in harms way?

And, watch. When push comes to shove, he will likely toss his own son under the bus, to avoid being held responsible.

...I'm glad you finally realized that with psychopaths and lunatics, "Going high when they go low" only emboldens their mental illness and their hatred. Most of us knew this, but we know that you likely felt like you needed to take the high road, and we get that. But now that we are all on the same page (well, some still seem to be clinging to their naïveté) let's take down these fuckers.

for having bigger crowds than me, for making me look stupid over the whole birth certificate thing, for being more intelligent than me and I will never, ever forgive him for being black."

Mango Mussolini put Michelle Obama, her family and countless others at risk by encouraging violence, and Ms. O. called him out on it.

Baby Fingers responded by flinging poo at her husband.

Sounds perfectly equivalent to me.
