While the left cheered Obama’s performance, Trump, as you might expect, dismissed it on Twitter TWTR, -0.21% as “a very late & unenthusiastic endorsement” of Joe Biden.
Chris Wallace, a veteran of Trump-friendly Fox News, didn’t see it that way, however.
“ ‘It was a heck of a contribution. She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump, talking about the chaos and confusion and lack of empathy, especially coming from this president and this White House.’ ”
