Trump lashes out at Michelle Obama in inflammatory post

President Donald Trump got personal on Tuesday, posting a video attacking former First lady Michelle Obama and praising Vice President JD Vance.

Trump shared the video clip on his Truth Social platform. It said "watch the difference in thinking" and featured different cuts from frank conversations around parenting and life in the White House, and juxtaposed them in a split-screen targeting Obama's comments. It aimed to "contrast" Obama's statements with Vance's remarks on family life, taking a swing at the Democrat and "the perpetual victims, that the left are, where they see oppression in everything."

The president has often taken jabs at Michelle Obama and her husband, former President Barack Obama, during and prior to the 2016 presidential campaign, throughout his first presidency, and after leaving office. He has criticized their policies, statements and appearances. A post he shared in February on his Truth Social platform depicting Barack and Michelle as animals has been condemned, despite the president defending it.
