Donald Trump reacts to Barack and Michelle Obama's remarks at DNC
Donald Trump also reacted to Michelle Obama's remarks and further rebuked her husband Barack Obama for taking shots at him.
"Did you see Barack Hussein Obama last night take those shots? He was taking shots at your president, and so was Michelle," Trump said during the rally.
Then, Trump mimicked supporters who had advised him to refrain from making personal jabs.
"You know, they always say, 'Sir, please stick to policy. Don’t get personal.' And yet they’re getting personal. All night long, these people. Do I still have to stick to policy?" he asked.
Barack and Michelle Obama's hard-hitting remarks against Donald Trump
During her speech at the DNC, Michelle Obama hit out at Donald Trump on his recent quip about "Black jobs."
“His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black,” Michelle Obama said.
“I want to know — I want to know — who’s going to tell him, who’s going to tell him, that the job he is currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?” Raw Story reported.

Obama, who spoke after Michelle, compared Trump with an annoying neighbor with a leaf blower. He argued that the GOP nominee was only interested in serving himself.
“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.

"It has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually been getting worse now that he is afraid of losing to Kamala.

Donald Trump also carried out a free poll asking his supporters in the rally whether he should get personal or not.
Surprisingly, the supporters replied loudly yes to getting personal and when there was silence on not getting personal, Trump quipped, "My advisors are fired."
