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.

Oh, that's right. It was during President Barack Obama's term that Osama bin Laden was brought to his end by the U S NAVY SEALS.

Yaknow, Stumpie, you really should review your history before you open that festering shit hole that is your mouth.

Also, President Barack Obama did not make excuses, he actually VISITED our troops overseas. I don't expect you to get off your fat ass to do that, but stop making excuses for why you can't.

And, President Barack Obama met the flag-draped caskets of the fallen coming into Dover AFB and comforted the families. He did not insult widows, he hugged them. He talked with the children of soldiers, hugged them too. And yes, shed tears. We have already seen what you do. [Myeshia Johnson (wife/widow of LaDavid Johnson) STILL does not have the full account of what happened to her husband in Niger, because the trmp WH has refused to do so.] You disrespected Khizr and Ghazala Khan, Gold-Star parents of Captain Humayan Khan on NATIONAL TELEVISION.

Before you ever speak the word "respect" again, you goddam better know what the fuck it means., otherwise STFU.

President Obama salute is nice and straight, good angle. The guy next

But man o man it’s hard not to scream about hating him.
And all of them. Tried really hard not to hate Graham. McConnell I think I hated him since he said he’d obstruct Obama. I just was in hate denial.

I hate hating. And that’s the Republicans major seller. That and fear mongering.

during the corespondents dinner where Obama cleaned the floor with the man-child, he exposed him for what he is, a fool. That is the man-child's gripe with Obama, the whole world saw what a fool trump is, and that is still eating him up.

Some of the jokes were on Obama and other Democrats too, it wasn't just about Trump. Only one man in the room proved that he had no sense of humor and that was Cheeto. Why did he even go to that correspondents' dinner anyway?

He couldn't stand that Obama was getting all the love and attention that he thought he should be getting.

That's what all of this is about. All of it.

It all comes down to simple petty jealousy and envy.

Michelle was frightened for her children for a reason people can understand....

Instead of saying, "I cannot respond to that due to personal reasons." or something like, "I hear what Michelle Obama has said, I don't necessarily agree, but I understand her concern and accept her opinion."

something open and sensitive...........instead.....no response to the issue she mentioned, just an attack on what President Obama did to the "military"..attack, always attack, even when the statement is true..

Trump defines the word..........asshole
