Former first lady Michelle Obama excoriated President Trump throughout a video clip message providing her closing debate for why citizens must choose Joe Biden.

" We can no longer pretend that we don't know exactly who and what this president stands for. Search your hearts, and your conscience, and then vote for Joe Biden like your lives depend on it," Obama stated in the video clip launched by Biden's campaign.

She told off Trump for what she views as "willful mismanagement of the COVID crisis."

" Seven months later, he still won't wear a mask consistently and encourage others to do the same, even when those simple actions could save countless lives," she said. "Instead, he continues to gaslight the American people by acting like this pandemic is not a real threat."

Her remarks Tuesday morning came a day after Trump was discharged from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to obtain the remainder of his treatment for COVID-19 from the White House.

Upon his return, he took off his mask for a photo-op and in a video clip downplayed the severity of the virus. "Don't be afraid of it. You're going to beat it," Trump stated.

In a tweet Tuesday early morning, Trump said he's "FEELING GREAT!"

Obama also admonished the president for his push universities to resume quickly.

" Everybody wants their kids back in school as soon as it's safe," she said. "But as a mom, it is frightening thinking about all of these young people, who were just our babies yesterday, quarantined alone in dorms or apartments with little or no support as the disease continues to spread, unable to come home if their symptoms get worse."

She also utilized the video clip to have a frank conversation regarding white privilege, asking for individuals to walk in each other's shoes. She said:

Think about it: You've worked hard all your life, and for too long, you've watched the rich get richer ... you've seen your beloved towns shattered by joblessness ... and it's frustrating to hear some folks say that you've been the beneficiary of privilege, that the color of your skin gives you a head start.

But right now, the president and his allies are trying to tap into that frustration and distract from his breathtaking failures by giving folks someone to blame other than them. They're stoking fears about Black and brown Americans, lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs, whipping up violence and intimidation.

She highlighted: "It's morally wrong and yes, it is racist."

In last week's across the country televised presidential debate, Trump declined to denounce white supremacists, rather saying that the Proud Boys, a reactionary team, should "stand back and stand by."

He later on told Fox News that he condemns right-wing hate groups.

Obama claimed the moment asks for empathy.

" Imagine how it feels to have suspicion cast on you from the day you were born simply because of the hue of your skin," she said, "to walk around your own country scared that someone's unjustified fear of you could put you in harm's way, terrified of what four more years of this kind of division might mean for the safety of you and those you love."

Obama labeled choosing Biden in November as a "chance for a fresh start."

She ticked with the Democratic nominee's bio and years of public service,Biden continued to serve also when faced with misfortune after he lost his spouse and young little girl, and also later in life, his eldest son.

She highlighted the relevance of making a ballot plan, stating, "We don't have the luxury to assume that things are going to turn out OK."

" We cannot afford to withhold our votes or waste them on a protest candidate," she claimed, maybe referencing the candidacy of musician Kanye West.

" Work like this may not feel as impactful as attending a protest, but trust me, it is absolutely the most important thing that we can do right now to save our democracy"
