Yahoo Lifestyle Michelle Obama's Hilarious Donald Trump Diss At The DNC Is Breaking The Internet, And It's Epic
Yesterday was night two of the Democratic National Convention, which featured the Obamas' return to the campaign trail.
Taking the stage for the first time this election season, Michelle Obama gave a 21-minute speech where she shaded Donald Trump by telling the crowd, "...most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth." However, one particular moment blew the roof off the place: Michelle's joke about "Black jobs."

I'm sure you remember Donald Trump's bizarre (and racist) comments about "Black jobs" during the first presidential debate, which he has continued to repeat.

He said migrants are "taking Black jobs now. And it could be 18; it could be 19 and even 20 million people — they're taking Black jobs..." which sparked a viral conversation on Black Twitter with people wondering what exactly qualifies as a "Black job"?

And last night, Michelle Obama flipped the comment on its head when she asked the audience: "Who's gonna tell him the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those Black jobs?"

The viral moment has millions of views on X, and people are obsessed with Michelle's departure from her famous "When they go low, we go high" catchphrase.

Michelle Obama came out with the ponytail. She definitely ain’t playing this election. That’s the “we ready for a fight” hair. Ain’t no more “we go high”.#DNC2024
