A fiery Michelle Obama attacked Donald Trump as a convicted felon, a known slum lord and a predator convicted of sexual abuse while campaigning for Kamala Harris in Michigan on Saturday.

With just 10 days until Election Day, the former First Lady stunned Kalamazoo with a speech in which she told the crowd she had real fear for our country.

Obama also denounced those who hold the vice president to higher standards than his political opponent.

We expect her to be intelligent, to express herself clearly, to have clear policies and to never show too much anger. But for Trump? We don't expect anything at all.

She added: I hope you will forgive me if I am a little angry because we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, to his obvious mental decline, to his past as a convicted criminal, a known slum lord, an admitted predator responsible for sexual abuse.

Meanwhile, Trump rallied Saturday night in Pennsylvania, telling his supporters that people had only come to Harris' Texas rally on Friday to see Beyoncé, and that the music megastar didn't know who the vice-president.

This comes a day after he told podcaster Joe Rogan that his biggest mistake during his first term in the White House was hiring disloyal people.

At his own rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump said attendees of Kamala Harris' rally in Houston on Friday only went to see Beyoncé and that the music superstar didn't know who the vice president was.

[Harris] I had Beyoncé because she couldn't draw crowds. See this crowd, this crowd is packed. I could sell it three times over. he said. And we don't have Beyoncé who couldn't fill the arena last night.

But people went because they thought they were going to hear Beyoncé sing, right? Beyoncé came out and said: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to support her. What is his name? What is his name? What's his name again? Oh, I'll support her.

So what happened was the crowd came because they thought she was going to sing. Then she turned around and left and Kamala started talking, and it was a disaster.

Earlier, at another rally in Michigan, Trump claimed people booed Beyoncé as she left the stage.

1729996237Michelle Obama slams those who hold Harris to a higher standard than Trump

Michelle Obama has turned her anger on Donald Trump and those who held Kamala Harris to higher standards than her opponent.

Can anyone tell me why we demand that Kamala be more demanding than her opponent? she said.

We expect her to be intelligent, to express herself clearly, to have clear policies and to never show too much anger. But for Trump? We don't expect anything at all. No understanding of politics, no ability to make coherent arguments.

Trump has no honor, no decency, no morals, she added. People dismiss his childish indecency as Trump simply being Trump. Rather than question his horrible behavior, some people think he's just being funny.

She added: I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us choose to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence, while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn.

I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry because we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his past as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a convicted predator of abuse sexual.
