Donald Trump’s remarks in Arizona are a tremendous left turn from what he said in Michigan a day after Obama’s remarks.

Former President Trump spoke on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris’ widely-praised DNC speech, taking on the Obama’s after praising them just a few days before.
At the same stage, he accepted an endorsement from independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy; Trump went on the offensive against the Obama’s, who went after Trump in their DNC speeches.
“He was nasty to me. He was nasty. Michelle was nasty. They’re all nasty,” Trump said at the rally in Arizona.
“I call them up, my geniuses, they get paid a fortune. Actually, not that much. I say, ‘They’re knocking the hell out of me and you say I shouldn’t get personal. I have to get personal. They get personal,’” Trump said.
“So they’re allowed to get personal with me but I’m not allowed to get personal to them. They call me names that are so bad. Our great first lady says, ‘But you’re not that way, darling.’”

Trump’s remarks in Arizona are a tremendous left turn from what he said in Michigan a day after Obama’s remarks.
“I thought he was a terrible president. He didn’t do the job. He let people take advantage of us on trade,” Trump said on the campaign trail. “Especially trade—he was very weak on trade. But I happen to like him. I respect him and his wife.”
Additionally, he told CNN reporters that Barack Obama was a “nice gentleman” whom he ” likes and respects.”
Michelle Obama went first at the DNC night 2, headlined by her and her husband.
She attacked Trump on the “black job” remarks he made at the National Association of Black Journalists weeks ago.
“Who’s going to tell him, that the job he is currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?” she said.

Barack also took a jab at Trump, comparing him to a neighbor who always has their leaf blower on.
He criticized Trump’s preoccupation with crowd sizes while making a hand gesture many considered crude.
The theme of all four nights of the DNC was focused on the threat Trump poses to democracy.
The former president seeks restrictions on voting, has declared he will reject an election loss, and appointed judges who granted Presidential immunity.
Trump has responded to other Republicans and his advisors, who call on him not to make personal attacks and to focus on policy, by stating that he has to get personal due to what the other side is doing.
