Obama Slammed For Appearing To Make Crude Gesture About Trump During DNC Speech

 Former President Barack Obama was slammed for appearing to make a crude gesture about former President Donald Trump during his speech at the Democratic National Convention.

On Tuesday night, Obama took the stage at the DNC in Chicago to loud cheers and applause as the former president took one swipe after another against Trump, appearing, at one point, to reference the size of 45’s lower anatomy, BizPacReview reported.

“Here is a 78-year-old billionaire [Trump] who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Obama told the audience of Democrat supporters.

“A constant stream of gripes, grievances that has been getting worse now that he is afraid to lose to Kamala [Harris],” he added.

“The childish nicknames, crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes,” Obama continued, as he motioned with his hands, moving them in from large to small, while appearing to look down at his groin.

It was clear the gesture was noticed by everyone in the hall and watching at home, including former CNN talk show host Don Lemon, who took to social media and wrote, “We all knew what that hand gesture meant@BarackObama. @realDonaldTrump is OBSESSED with crowd sizes.#Obama #DNC2024 #tiny.”

The Wall Street Journal wrote on X, “Using both hands to ‘display’ different crowd sizes during his address, former President Barack Obama made what appeared to be a sly reference to the male anatomy during his speech at the Democratic National Convention.”

And those on social media were not pleased.

 

“BELOW THE BELT? Barack Obama mocks Trump’s ‘weird obsession with crowd sizes,’ then gestures to signify length with his hands and looks down as the #DNC crowd goes wild,” one person wrote on X.

Another person added, “Did Obama just make a size joke on stage at the#DNC with his hands re Trump? This ain’t the ‘When they go low, we go high’ party anymore.” The reference was to when former first lady Michelle Obama said during the 2016 election during an attack against Trump, “When they go low, we go high.”

While a third person wrote, “it takes a special kind of politician to complain about childish nicknames and make a small dick joke in the same sentence.”

The host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast talked about it on her show and said it was obvious that Obama took “a jab at Trump’s manhood.”

During his speech, Obama also threw his support to Vice President Harris ahead of her officially being named the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.
