Barack Obama has sparked fury after seemingly making a crude joke about Donald Trump’s private parts.
The 44th President slammed his White House successor as he delivered a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Obama appeared to imply Trump’s jitteriness about crowd sizes could reflect an insecurity about another measurement.
The 63-year-old laughed at Trump over his “weird obsession with crowd sizes”, moving his hands from large to small and looking down to catch what he was doing.

Rows of Democrats roared with approval but Republicans fumed about the crass joke.
A comment on social media simply said: “This ain't the 'When they go low, we go high' party anymore.”
Conservative commentator Todd Starnes called Obama “weird” and “creepy” for having weighed in 'on the size of President Trump's private parts.
A disgruntled voter added: “They're having a weirdo off at these conventions.”
However, Trump appeared to express a rare moment of kindness to Obama ahead of his predecessor's speech in Chicago.
