During her political career, Michelle has repeatedly proven she has a gift with words and once again used that talent to showcase why Trump shouldn't return to office.
The wife of the 44th US President claimed she and her husband knew Trump aimed to make people fear them. She alleged that his narrow vision of the world made him insecure by the success of two highly educated Black people.
Michelle referenced Trump's racist comments at the first presidential debate back in June, where he claimed immigrants were taking Black jobs. She slammed his opinion with an unforgettable quip, per TMZ, saying:
"Who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those 'Black jobs?'"

Following her savage response, Michelle doubled down on Kamala Harris being the best woman for the job. She praised the current VP as a renowned member of the government who lives to help others.
Then, the former First Lady introduced Barack, who echoed similar sentiments about Harris's regime being what the country needed. He also slammed Trump as a 78-year-old billionaire and conspiracy theorist who frequently cried about his problems.
The former president didn't stop there, as he bashed Trump with the perfect double entendre comment. He mocked the Republican's obsession with crowd sizes by turning it into a hilarious joke about his penis.

Following the Obamas' DNC speeches, fans rushed to social media platforms like X to applaud Michelle's fiery response to Trump. Many declared the politician had shed her "When they go low, we go high" mantra, with one individual tweeting:
"Michelle Obama 2016: 'When they go low, we go high!' Michelle Obama 2024: 'Let me tell you about this motherf-cker named Trump…'"
"Michelle Obama 2016: 'When they go low, we go high.' Michelle Obama 2024:" An X user penned, sharing a GIF from the "Game of Thrones" series, showing the dragon burning down soldiers with its flames.
Another fan echoed similar sentiments in a tweet but used a GIF of a girl laughing menacingly as she created large flames with a lighter and an aerosol spray.
The comments continued, with a fan sharing a clip of Kendrick Lamar's hit "Not Like Us" music video alongside the headline: "LIVE: Barack and Michelle from the DNC."

Earlier this month, The Blast shared that Michelle and Barack's active support of Harris's campaign extended to her running mate. She chose the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, as her vice-presidential nominee, a move the Obamas endorsed.
The power couple applauded her choice in a joint statement shared on Instagram, stressing that Harris didn't choose "someone inexperienced and polarizing." Part of their message read:
"By selecting Tim Walz to be her vice president from a pool of outstanding Democrats, Kamala Harris has chosen an ideal partner — and made it clear exactly what she stands for."

Following Michelle and Barack's support of Governor Walz, some of Hollywood's finest, like "Charmed" star Alyssa Milano, positively reacted to the news. The actress shared a video compilation of the Democratic nominee's opinions.
The clip captured part of his clap back at Trump's running mate, JD Vance, who faced backlash for his "childless cat ladies" comments. Walz referenced his words, saying:
"My God, they went after cat people. Good luck with that. Turn on the Internet and see what cat people do when you go after them."
"LFG! VP Walz! I love this guy," Milano captioned the video. Cynthia Nixon from "Sex and the City" echoed similar sentiments on her Instagram, writing: "I'm Walzing on air! Thank you @kamalaharris."
