Former first lady Michelle Obama took a moment Thursday afternoon to troll President Donald Trump as she delivered a powerful speech during an event honoring her husband, former President Barack Obama.

Crowds poured into Chicago for the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center as part of a dedication ceremony. During a rousing speech, Michelle called her husband "unflappable" at every turn.

"Always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view," she said, seeming to contrast her husband with Trump.

"How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once," she said. "Lashed out in frustration. Lost your temper."

Michelle Obama characterized it as unthinkable that her husband could have done anything not to make their family and the country proud.

The crowd erupted in applause and came to its feet. But the former first lady wasn't done, jabbing the current president one more time by noting Barack Obama accomplished something Trump hasn't: "Winning a Peace Prize."
