Former U.S. President Barack Obama took multiple jabs at Donald Trump during Tuesday’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago and one included a hand gesture that went viral online and prompted a reaction from adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Obama quipped about Trump’s “weird obsession with crowd sizes” during his speech. He then looked down at his hands and closed the gap between them before looking back at the audience and pausing.
Daniels, who has had a long-standing feud with Donald Trump, was quick to react to Barack Obama’s hand gesture on X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s what Stormy Daniels said about Obama’s Trump hand gesture
Stormy Daniels, who claimed Donald Trump paid her hush money to hide their affair, was quick to respond to Barack Obama’s hand gesture. Her response was to an X (formerly Twitter) user‘s remark, “I think @StormyDaniels would say that was overly generous,” on Obama’s suggestive hand gesture from his DNC speech. Daniels then responded, “This is him showing the grace and empathy he spoke of during his speech.”
Other X (formerly Twitter) users also commented on Stormy Daniels’ remark, with one adding that she “has the best comebacks.” Another wrote, “Stormy you never miss queen.”
Barack Obama’s scores of jabs at Donald Trump revved up the audience at the Chicago DNC before he spoke in favor of the Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
While addressing the crowd, Barack Obama asked people to think, “Who will fight for me?” before casting their votes. He asked them to raise questions regarding their safety, rights, and the country’s future together. Obama then immediately fired at the Republican Party nominee, Donald Trump. He said, “One thing is certain, Donald Trump is not losing sleep over that question.”
The former president then went on to say, “Here is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago.” He described how “it has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that has actually been getting worse now that he is afraid of losing to Kamala.”
Obama then added, “There’s the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes.” He ended the quip with the much-commented-on hand gesture as the audience laughed.
