First Lady Michelle Obama did not name Donald Trump in her speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday. But she drew a sharp sketch of the Republican nominee that stood in contrast to her rosy portrait of Hillary Clinton as a woman who has looked out for children and the disadvantaged all her life.
Delivering a mother’s impassioned call to action, Michelle offered Clinton to the nation as a woman with a heart, and as a future president who never “buckles under pressure” or takes the easy way out.
Michelle Obama had barely finished her 14-minute speech when her husband, the president, tweeted his review: “Incredible speech by an incredible woman.”
Soon after the speech, Twitter users went wild with memes, references and quotes. Some even wanted the First Lady to become the next President.
