Former President Donald J. Trump lashed out at Barack and Michelle Obama after the two devoted their Democratic Party convention speeches to trashing him.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, the Republican nominee said that he’s done trying to be nice to the two Democrats who he went out of his way to compliment before their bitter rants on Tuesday night at the left-wing party’s nationally televised hatefest.
Trump described Mrs. Obama as “nasty” and noted that they were the ones calling for civility before their petty personal attacks at the DNC, one of them when her husband appeared to make a crude remark about the size of his penis while scolding him for childish nicknames.

“I’m trying to be nice to these people,” Trump told the outlet which caught up with him after he came off the stage at a rally in Asheboro, NC, a return to outdoor venues for the first time since he was nearly assassinated last month.
“They were lousy presidents, and you know this one coming. It’s the worst,” he said, turning to Vice President Kamala Harris who was installed after top party members ousted Joe Biden in an unprecedented coup against their own presumptive nominee.
“She makes Obama look like … I mean, forget it … She’s a radical Marxist person that ruined everything in her path,” he said, emphasizing the danger to the country if Harris wins the election.
“I like him. I think he’s a nice gentleman,” Trump told CNN before the 44th president trashed him in Chicago. “I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife.”
The two men have had a running feud since Obama was in the White House with Trump accusing Obama of spying on him in the runup to the Russiagate scam.
Trump also downplayed the ongoing speculation by some that Michelle Obama is really a man.
“I don’t know who would do that. I certainly wouldn’t say that,” he said.
“No, no. But she is very nasty to me. I mean, look, they say, Oh, don’t be personal. Talk about policy. I want to talk about policy… But people say, don’t get personal, but then they get personal,” Trump added of the former first lady.
Mrs. Obama got racial, suggesting to the angry mob at the United Center that Trump can’t be president again because he’s white.
Michelle Obama claims Trump is not qualified to be President because he is white.

The king and queen of grievance were in rare form.
“Did you see Barack Hussein Obama last night?” Trump asked the crowd in North Carolina on Wednesday. “He was taking shots at your president, and so was Michelle.”
“You know, they always say, ‘Sir, please stick to policy, don’t get personal,’” he added. “And yet they’re getting personal all night long, these people.”
