Michelle Obama delivered a series of blistering insults of Donald Trump in front of a roaring Democratic National Convention crowd on Tuesday night.

The former first lady called the Republican nominee misogynistic, racist, petty and small in the powerful takedown that upstaged her ex-president husband Barack Obama

The 60-year-old said Kamala Harris is 'my girl' and called on the Democratic Party to unite behind her after the Obama inner circle was accused of helping force Joe Biden out of the race.

In a mic drop moment that sparked a frenzied reaction from the audience, she said of Trump: 'Who's going to tell him the job he's currently seeking might be one of those black jobs?'

The Obamas spoke while Harris held a rally 90 miles away, sparking speculation the White House is angry over the role they allegedly played in Biden stepping aside.

Michelle declared 'hope is making a comeback' as she entered the arena Tuesday night after Harris was formally declared the Democratic presidential nominee.

She then hit Trump with a barrage of personal attacks on a night when her husband appeared to use a crude hand gesture to mock Donald's 'weird obsession' with size.

Michelle was one of the last to take the stage, after Harris' husband Doug Emhoff retold the story of how they on a blind date following a divorce from his first wife.

Celebrities including Lil Jon, Eva Longoria and Spike Lee were in the audience as she re-used a famous line from her 2016 convention speech which didn't stick to: 'When they go low, we go high — so we can dunk on them.'

'Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it?' Obama said as the crowd gave her a hero's welcome at United Center in Chicago

'Not just here in this arena, but spreading all across this country we love, a familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for too long. You know what I'm talking about? It's the contagious power of hope.'

The former first lady invoked hope was a reminder of her husband former president Obama's own historic run for the presidency. Obama gave a ringing endorsement of Harris calling her 'ready for this moment'.

'Her story is your story. It's my story. It's the story of the vast majority of Americans trying to build a better life,' she said. 

Obama first eluded to Harris's Republican opponent Trump before turning on him directly by name.

Her fiery speech was perhaps the most vicious rebuttal of the GOP presidential nominee at the convention to date. 

'Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open for others,' she said. 

'If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don't get a second, third, or fourth chance,' she said. 'If we see a mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top.'  

She warned that she knows what comes next and there would be those who would try to distort Harris's truth.

'My husband and I, sadly, know a little something about this,' she said. 'For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us,' she said. 

'His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be black.'

'Who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those "black jobs?"' she said. 

The crowd in the arena went absolutely wild in response to her stunning takedown.

'It's his same old con: doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people's lives better,' she went on.

She argued that 'going small is petty' and called it 'unhealthy' and 'unpresidential'. 

Obama gave a ringing endorsement of Harris, saying she and Harris both built their lives on the same foundational values' and praised her and running mate Tim Walz as 'good, big-hearted people'.

'She is one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency, and she is one of the most dignified,  a tribute to her mother, to my mother, and probably to your mother too,' she said. 

But the former first lady did not just heap support on the Democratic presidential nominee, she warned that Democrats face an uphill battle and a close race. The former first lady used her remarks as a call for action.

'This is up to us, all of us, to be the solution we seek. It is up to all of us to be the antidote to all the darkness and division,' she said. 

She said 'our fate is in our hands' and urged Democrats to 'work like our lives depend on it' until Election Day.

Obama was a superstar in the United Center in Chicago. She is one of if not the most beloved Democrat in the party. Many hoped at one point she would run for president herself despite her past rejection of the political spotlight. 

But the former first lady might be one of the most powerful advocates for Harris and Democrats without running in any race herself. 

Her message was so well received, when she went to introduce her husband, the former president, he joked that he's ready to go 'even if I'm the only person stupid enough to speak right after Michelle Obama.'

 The former president also delivered his own zingers against the ex-GOP president.

'We don't need four more years of bluster and chaos. We've seen that movie - and we all know that the sequel is usually worse,' Obama said to applause.  

He slammed the 78-year-old for 'whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago' and having constant gripes. 

'The other day, I heard someone compare Trump to this neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of the day,' he quipped. 'From a neighbor, that's exhausting. From a president, it's just dangerous.'

As the Obamas spoke, Harris and Walz were just ninety miles away in Milwaukee where they were holding a separate rally in Wisconsin, so they were not in attendance for Tuesday's powerful speeches. 

Their packed battleground state event on Tuesday was at the same venue where Republicans held their convention just last month.
