Barack Obama's NSFW joke about Trump delights crowd at DNC

Obama's crowd size remark accompanied by hand gesture left viewers at the DNC amused, sparking online discussions

Barack Obama's recent speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago has sparked widespread attention, particularly for a joke about Donald Trump that has resonated strongly with viewers.

During his address on Tuesday, August 20, Obama expressed his support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, declaring, "America is ready for a new chapter. We are ready for a President Kamala Harris."

While his speech was primarily focused on the future of the country, it was his remarks about Trump that drew the most significant reaction.

Referring to Trump as a "78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped complaining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago," Obama critiqued the former president's approach to his campaign.

He noted, "It’s been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually gotten worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala."

However, it was a particular gesture that accompanied his comments about Trump’s "obsession with crowd size" that caught viewers' attention.

As Obama spoke, he made a noticeable hand gesture, holding his hands a few inches apart, which many interpreted as a subtle jab at Trump's anatomy.

This moment, which might have passed unnoticed by those only listening to the speech, quickly became the focal point of discussions on social media.

Twitter users were quick to react, with one person humorously suggesting that Obama’s gesture should be "written into the historical record."

Others praised Obama for his "perfect comedic delivery" and for hitting Trump with what was perceived as a subtle yet pointed joke.

In addition to this, Obama continued his critique of Trump by comparing him to "the neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of every day," in contrast to Harris, whom he described as "the neighbour rushing over to help when you need a hand."

Obama’s speech was met with enthusiastic applause, and his support for Harris was clear as he underscored her readiness to lead the nation.
