Former President Donald Trump on Monday made what critics suggested were threatening comments about former first lady Michelle Obama while whining about her recent criticism of him.

“You know who was nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump complained at a rally in Atlanta.

“I always tried to be so nice and respectful,” Trump claimed, conveniently forgetting his frequent attacks over many years on the former first lady and her husband, his predecessor, Barack Obama.

Michelle Obama “opened up a little bit of a, a little bit of a box,” Trump said. “She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty, oooh.”

“That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.

Watch from the 1:28:00 mark here:

The Republican presidential nominee then pivoted to talking about how, if he wins back the White House, the United States will have the “strongest economy, the most secure borders, the safest cities, the most powerful military” and more.

Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ campaign shared footage of Trump’s comments on X, formerly Twitter, and described it as an “unhinged rant” that hinted at “seeking retribution.”

Others posed the same question:

The Obamas live rent free in his head.

He has nothing else to offer the American people, only hate and divisiveness.

Spreading racist birther conspiracy theories about her husband?

Yeah, what a gentleman.

Michelle treated you the way every decent American should treat you. And then you go on to threaten her and call her names because you are a giant wimp of a man.
