Trump: Michelle Obama Must Not Have Meant Loss of 'Hope' Comment

Source: NBC News

In an interview that aired on CBS Friday, Mrs. Obama told Oprah Winfrey "now we're feeling what not having hope feels like." She did not mention Trump's name explicitly.

"I assume she was talking about the past not the future cause I'm telling you, we have tremendous hope and we have tremendous promise and tremendous potential," Trump said Saturday. The crowd booed at the mention of Mrs. Obama.

Trump's comments were a contrast for the president elect, who was known on the campaign trail for swift and biting rebukes of those who spoke ill of him, even in veiled language.

"I met with President Obama and Michelle Obama in the White House. My wife was there. She could not have been nicer," Trump said. "I honestly believe she meant that statement in a different way than it came out."

Donald thinks he can "correct" Michelle like he corrects Melania.

It's the end of Revenge of the Sith.

Emperor Putin looks upon his creation Darth Trump.

The jedi council is scattered.

The younglings are dead.

There is no hope.

Soon all the jedi (every person we've ever put hope in on the left) in the world will be hunted down and destroyed.

It's a dark time for the galaxy.

That doesn't mean she agrees with you about anything. It is only your zombie knuckle dragging followers who beat people in your crowds because they are black, or paint swastikas on walls of schools, or ambush women in hijabs, or use seizure inducing tweets on reporters. And yes, Donnie, they are still doing it.

That must be why you don't understand, Donnie, that you can disagree with everything you say and be civil at the same time. That is the human thing to do. You in your bubble are not human, due to your mental defects you don't understand.

RESIGN! DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!

And I meant that.

I don't enjoy anything anymore. I used to engage with people on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, haven't hardly looked at them since 11/9. I don't come here much anymore either. My teevee is permanently tuned to the classical music channel, and I don't give a fuck about Christmas. I am experiencing what hopeless feels like every minute of every day. The only things that give me even a flicker of joy is my SO & my cats. It's a hell of a way to be. I hope it passes.

and still not have any confidence in you.

It's called compassion.

Give it a try some time.

Better yet... try empathy.







Oops.... I forget, those words aren't in your vocabulary.

Big-time dog whistle to his drooling, stupid backers. Donald Trump trying to interpret the comments of the highly-educated, very well-spoken Michelle Obama: racist in every way.
