In a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama took a jab at his successor, Donald Trump, criticizing his fixation on crowd sizes.
Obama described Trump’s preoccupation as a “weird obsession,” likening him to a pesky neighbor who insists on running his leaf blower at all hours.
Obama’s remarks were met with laughter and applause from the audience, as he poked fun at Trump’s well-documented tendency to exaggerate and boast about the size of his crowds.
The former President’s comments were seen as a lighthearted yet pointed critique of Trump’s ego and perceived insecurities.
By using the relatable analogy of a noisy neighbor, Obama effectively conveyed his message, making it clear that Trump’s fixation on crowd sizes is not only unnecessary but also a distraction from more pressing issues.
The speech highlighted Obama’s signature wit and ability to tackle serious topics with humor and charm.
