Summary
At a North Carolina rally, Donald Trump used aggressive language, questioning if he was “allowed to hit” Michelle Obama after her recent criticism of his values and policies.
Though Trump spoke metaphorically, his comments drew backlash, with analysts calling the remark in poor taste. Trump recounted an imaginary conversation with his staff advising him to tone down his rhetoric, prompting cheers from supporters urging him to “hit back.”
The statement, shared widely on social media, has raised concerns about its impact on the gender gap and support among conservative women voters.
“He was never nice to the Obamas,” said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. “He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him.”
Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.
People surprised when trump says something absolutely on brand for trump?
Even if he was able to get a cheap shot in when her back was turned, my money is on her with an easy first round knock-out.
Oh, definitely. Even beyond age, cardio, strength, etc. imagine how much she hates him after all the death threats to her and her family. She’d even have the pure cussedness advantage. I could see a full blown Waffle House 3am level ass whooping coming his way.
Please, it would be Black Widow and that fat Russian fuck in the first Avengers.
“Metaphorically” doesn’t save him from yet again being a massive piece of shit…
They’re still mad that they got called out for calling her a man and an ape. They’re disgusting people
Ok, Trump is an awful human. No doubt.
But can we also agree that the article’s title is misleading? It seems clear to me that he didn’t literally mean “hit her”, but rather a political hit/verbal diarrhea.
Articles like these - and people quick to share them - make Democrats/left-leaning institutions look like they are grasping at straws. It’s too bad because there are so many important, real topics that don’t receive as much attention.
He’s a rapist and pedophile, that’s enough for me to hate him for life. Every other thing he says or does is just icing on the cake.
He’s a supposed politician.
This isn’t grasping at straws.
He is speaking to his base. His base… whom are lucky if they can rub two brain cells together for a spark… Are not going to take this as some political rhetoric.
I’ve been “not threatened” twice in my life, and someone once tried to set me up in a way that were hoping to get me for break and entering.
That’s what criminals do. They’ll use a suspicious amount of coercive control and people like Trump also use a lot of keywords too or guide followers towards doing things they want in a way they are protected
With Trump, it’s genuinely not clear
Don’t forget, this is a guide who clearly tried a coup, and started cracking jokes when Pelosi’s husband got attacked
Don’t think of him as a person, put everything he says in the context as the mafia. And suddenly, things seem a lot worse
His entire existence is in poor taste.
I don’t think anyone is allowed to hit former First Ladies. Much like former presidents actually.
Altho I could make an exception. Barack would tear him a new one in a
celebrityformer potus death match
Fat old Hamburgler vs ripped, brook-no-shit woman.
Good luck with that.
I doubt anyone is stunned by this
that was no metaphor
In a fight between South Side Chicago and Queens, I bet on South Side Chicago
You know, I would be ok with him specifically being allowed to hit somebody just to watch him fall down trying lol
