Trump says Michelle Obama's 'no hope' comment about the past

But as Trump praised the Obamas for treating him so nicely when he visited the White House shortly after the election, many in the Mobile, Alabama, crowd booed the first family.

She is much more literate and well spoken than him. How dare he try to twist her words and claim she didn't mean what she said.
