Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.

Just a day after Iran’s missile attack, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister meets with Iran’s president, declaring that Saudi Arabia wants to “permanently close the chapter on our differences.”Saudi Arabia will push for an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and won't establish ties with Israel without this condition.Israel is reshaping the Middle-East after all, only in the exact opposite way it wishes. Hard to overstate how significant this is, they're strengthening the Iran-Saudi rapprochement initiated by China.

“I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” she said, adding “because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on Oct. 7.” She went on to describe the massacre at a music festival that Saturday morning, 10 months ago, specifically noting the “unspeakable sexual violence” that morning, an accusation Hamas continues to deny.She then went on to talk anew about the “devastating” damage and “innocent lives lost” as the Israelis retaliated. “The scale of the suffering is heartbreaking.” But, like Mr. Biden, she gave no indication that, if elected, she would use the leverage of America’s military support for Israel to pressure it to change tactics. She offered no hint of the tension in the relationship with Mr. Netanyahu, which she has witnessed firsthand, as a listener-in, and sometimes participant, in the tense phone calls with the Israeli leader.Only after hostages are released and a cease-fire takes hold, she said, can Palestinians “realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination.” But she said nothing about concessions Israel would have to make if those conditions — essentially the two-state solution — were to come to pass.
