Former first lady Michelle Obama appeared to take a not-so-subtle swipe at Donald Trump as she rattled off a list of her husband Barack Obama’s accomplishments during the opening of his presidential center in Chicago on Thursday. Praising her spouse’s time in office, Michelle Obama credited him with “ending a war, ordering the bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.” She let the final line linger as the crowd erupted in applause. Observers interpreted the comment as a pointed dig at
Trump, who has thirsted after the Nobel Peace Prize (which Obama won in 2009) and had to settle for a second-hand one and a dubious FIFA version. Former first lady Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the 2016 presidential election, was seated behind Barack Obama and appeared to laugh hard at the remark. Cameras then caught Clinton leaning over to say something to the former president, prompting him to smile as the audience continued to cheer.
Michelle Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, presidential center, Chicago, bin Laden raid, Nobel Peace Prize, peace prize
Lol the crowd got nervous for real.
She definitely did that on purpose. Like why else say all that in front of Trump supporters unless she’s throwing shade the whole time. Also the whole bin Laden thing—just bring up something normal!
Wait so was Trump mad because she said “peace prize” like directly? I mean didn’t Trump get some kind of peace prize too? Or am I mixing it up with that FIFA whatever. Either way, cameras catching Hillary laughing makes it feel like a setup.
Idk, Michelle talking like that in Chicago is always gonna rile people up. Trump audience tense… I mean they were probably just there to be loud and record content or whatever. But the Hillary part was wild, like she’s still living in 2016. I swear every time Obama stuff comes up it turns into a “who’s the real winner” fight and nobody even reads what was actually said.
