Even if you missed the first presidential debate on Monday, you have probably heard the discussions circulating around Alicia Machado, Hillary Clinton’s “stamina” and Donald Trump’s temperament, sexism and taxes. If you haven’t, however, then allow First Lady Michelle Obama to, as New York Mag says, “elegantly eviscerate Donald Trump” for you.
Although the well-loved FLOTUS has been speaking out against Trump for months now, yesterday she expressed further disdain for the Republican candidate at a Hillary Clinton campaign event in Philadelphia. As the CNN video above shows, the inspirational women made clear remarks about Trump’s inability to handle the pressure and responsibility of being president.
“When making life or death, war or peace decisions, a president just can’t pop off or lash out irrationally,” Mrs. Obama says. “No! We need an adult in the White House. I guarantee you.”
Michelle Obama then goes on about how the presidency “reveals” who you are, pointing out how Trump’s campaign has showed how he is erratic, threatening, degrading towards women and thinks “it’s good business when people lose their home.” Thus, if this is the kind of candidate Trump is, Mrs. Obama says this is the kind of president he will be.
To this, Michelle Obama pleads, “We cannot afford to squander this opportunity … because we know that being president isn’t anything like reality TV. It is not an apprenticeship.”
