President Donald Trump reminded former first lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday that he would never have been elected president if the nation had not been fed up with the policies of her husband’s administration.
Obama was among the speakers delivering pre-taped remarks at Monday’s Democratic National Convention, which is being held virtually due to the current health crisis. During her comments, she lavished praise on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who was vice president during the Obama administration, and criticized Trump.
The president fired back in a series of tweets on Tuesday morning.
“Somebody please explain to @MichelleObama that Donald J. Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama,” Trump tweeted.
“Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement,” he added.
“My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history, of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now am building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!”
Trump also criticized the Obama administration’s handling of the H1N1 epidemic.
“Looking back into history, the response by the ObamaBiden team to the H1N1 Swine Flu was considered a weak and pathetic one. Check out the polling, it’s really bad. The big difference is that they got a free pass from the Corrupt Fake News Media!” he tweeted.
The fact that the Obama administration is still making news for its role in the investigating the Trump campaign was also thrown in Obama’s face by Trump.
“The ObamaBiden Administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, the biggest political scandal in the history of our Country. It’s called Treason, and more. Thanks for your very kind words Michelle!” Trump tweeted.
Trump works harder in one month for free than buckwheat did in eight years for 3.2M.

And just look at what Pelousy and Schiff tried to do to him with the impeachment. Did they really think it would go anywhere with a Republican controlled Senate?
I am sure you know that when impeachment is brought up in the House, all other business is suspended until the impeachment matter is settled.
All they did was throw a monkey wrench in the works. :-/

That was exhibited at the most recent SOTU address when Pelousy pre-tore her copy of the address and then made a big show of ripping it in half at the end of the speech. ;)

Laura, you are one of journalism's last hopes. We love you and hang on your every word. But please -- PLEASE stop saying anything good about the despicable turd Obama. He was NEVER "smart", "charismatic," "handsome", "well-spoken" or any of the other glowing descriptors conservatives have applied to him tic-style this entire time. He is, was and forever shall be EVIL, MALEVOLENT, MURDEROUS, UGLY, DEVIOUS, CONNIVING, in short rotten to the core.
Obama deserves no praise, no credit for anything aside from slightly pulling back on the war agenda-- because he's of partly muslim background. That is a grade of like 5 or 8 where 100 or 200 are needed. I beg of you, don't EVER praise him again however briefly or tactically. Thank you for all you're doing!
