On Thursday afternoon, President Donald Trump responded to Stacey Abrams delivering the Democratic Party’s rebuttal to his State of the Union speech on Feb. 5. Trump said he hoped she does a “good job” with her address, then spoke about her campaign for governor of Georgia, claiming without proof that the former first lady Michelle Obama campaigned for Abrams.
“I campaigned against Stacey Abrams,” Trump told the press. “I know President Obama campaigned for her. Michelle Obama campaigned for her and Oprah. And all Brian [Kemp] had was me. And he won fairly easily, you know, fairly easily. So I hope that she does a good job. I respect her.”
Toronto Star’s Washington, D.

The three previous times, Trump went so far as to say Michelle went to Georgia to do this campaigning.
