Donald Trump has taken a swipe at former first lady Michelle Obama after she labelled him a racist and a liar in an explosive plea to voters.

With the US Presidential election just weeks away, Obama appeared in a 26-minute video for Joe Biden's campaign, which has been described as her "closing argument" to the American people before they head to the ballot box.

She attacked Trump's coronavirus response and said he was unfairly "stoking fears" about African-Americans.

She added that Trump is "morally wrong" for taking actions that intimidate voters and for "lying" about how minorities will ruin US suburbs.

Overnight, the President hit back with a stream of anti-Obama tweets and re-tweets on his Twitter page.

One of the more personal attacks was a re-tweet from a prominent Trump supporter, which made the case that the former first lady was a hypocrite for attacking the President.

"Don't you love it when someone lectures you on ethics & morals, while at the same time being married to one of the most corrupt Presidents in history?" the tweet, recirculated by Trump, read.

Trump then went on a more general attack of the Obama administration.

He continued with accusations that his predecessor was involved in a wide-reaching conspiracy to derail his early presidency, which has been referred to over the years as Obamagate.

"When the truth about #Obamagate is revealed, every scandal in American history will look mild in comparison," one re-tweet read.
