The Democratic National Convention – their party conference, basically – is a virtual affair this year, for obvious reasons, with keynote speakers delivering addresses via video.
Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, gave a widely lauded speech, during which she described Trump as being “in over his head.”

The observation must have stung the thin-skinned President, as he responded by telling a journalist she was in over her head. He was only a heartbeat away from saying “I’m rubber, you’re glue …”
Even more baffling was his attempt to own Michelle Obama by referencing the fact that her speech wasn’t broadcast live.

I don’t think the Michelle Obama “had the wrong death” count because thousands more died in the last few days while I was in charge is the own the president thinks it is https://t.co/HX7yFNOI8L

These five reactions hammer home that point beautifully.

If Trump values the authentic speaker-audience connection, he’ll probably enjoy this stand-up piece from David Cross about reasons people give for regretting voting for him.
Yes – he’ll love that.
