Anyone who wants to be president should not "pop off about going to war" because it is serious business, Michelle Obama said Friday as she reflected on the "sobering experience" of visiting wounded patients at military hospitals.
In the early years of President Barack Obama's tenure, the first lady said, their hospital visits would last for hours as they visited with dozens of patients, including many who had lost limbs or had suffered other devastating injuries.
"And that's something a commander in chief thinks about before they pop off about going to war, because when you've spent time on a base and you know these men and women and you know their families you don't just talk about war like there are no implications," Mrs. Obama said during an appearance with former first lady Laura Bush at the National Archives.
Less than eight weeks away from the presidential election, Mrs. Obama's comments were viewed as a direct criticism of Republican candidate Donald Trump, who has said that he would "bomb the hell out of ISIS," also known as the Islamic State group. Trump's Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, has said he cannot be entrusted with the codes needed to launch America's nuclear arsenal.
Mrs. Obama used the same "pop off" language later Friday as she headlined her first campaign rally for Clinton.
