"Who's gonna tell him": Michelle Obama jabs Trump on "Black jobs"

• She added: "Who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those Black jobs?"
• Michelle Obama's words carry great weight among Democrats. Polls consistently show she's one of the most popular figures in U.S. politics and her speeches have been among the most watched at each of the past four Democratic National Conventions.

Flashback: Trump drew criticism for claiming during his June debate with President Biden that immigrants are taking "Black jobs" and "Hispanic jobs" —prompting the NAACP to say on X: "What exactly are Black and Hispanic jobs!?!"

• Despite this, he doubled down on his "Black jobs" claim during an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention last month.
• Asked to define a Black job, he said: "A Black job is anybody that has a job. That's what it is," drawing laughs from the room.

What else she's saying: There's "something magical in the air" and "it's spreading all across this country," Obama said.

• A "familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for far too long. You know what I'm talking about," she said, drawing cheers from DNC attendees.
• "The contagious power of hope, the anticipation, the energy, the exhilaration of once again being on the cusp of a brighter day, the chance to vanquish the demons of fear, division and hate that have consumed us and continue pursuing the unfinished promise of this great nation," Obama added.
• "Hope is making a comeback."
