Obama blasts Trump over his ‘weird obsession with crowd sizes’ while making not-so veiled hand gesture to DNC crowd

Former President Barack Obama took the gloves off when mentioning ex-President Donald Trump during his speech at the Democratic National Convention — claiming the GOP nominee has a “weird obsession with crowd sizes” while appearing to make a provocative gesture with his hands.

Obama, 63, was the closing speaker for night two of the DNC on Tuesday, kicking his speech off by telling the United Center crowd in Chicago that he was “feeling fired up and ready to go.”

After pledging his support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s nominee, the 44th president went on to call out his successor for “whining” since he ran for office in 2016 and that his attitude has only worsened now that he’s “afraid of losing to Kamala.”

“Here’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Obama said of Trump to a jovial audience.

“It has been a consistent scream of gripes and grievances that’s actually been getting worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala.”

The two-term president then called out Trump’s use of “childish nicknames,” “crazy conspiracy theories,” and what Obama called the 45th president’s “weird obsession with crowd sizes.”

As Obama pointed out Trump’s “weird obsession,” he appeared to take his hands and move them apart and then back together as he arrived at the word “sizes” before quickly putting his hands down with a look of surprise on his face.

However, the crowd went wild over the apparent insinuation and showered Obama with laughter and applause.

He moved on, claiming Trump’s antics go “on and on and on like an annoying neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day.”

Obama then told voters to reject Trump’s attempt at a second term in the White House, claiming that “the sequel is usually worse.”

“We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse,” the former president said.

The 44th president’s remarks came after Trump made an unusual claim to CNN Tuesday night prior to Obama taking the stage, where he told the outlet he happens to “like him.”

“I think he’s a nice gentleman, but he was very weak on trade. If you take a look at what happened to our country trade-wise, it was a disaster,” Trump said of his predecessor.

“I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife.”

Former First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to the DNC crowd before her husband took the stage to close out the evening, pledging her support for Harris and urging voters to “do something.”

“Don’t complain if no one from the campaign has specifically reached out to ask for your support. There is simply no time for that kind of foolishness,” she stressed. “This is your official ask, Michelle Obama is asking you, no I’m telling y’all to do something.”

Democrats adjourned their convention for the night after a brief benediction and will hear speeches from Minnesota Gov. and Vice Presidental nominee Tim Walz and former President Bill Clinton, among others, on night three on Wednesday.
