My elderly white father from a very red state liked her and he didn’t like many people. |
+1 Something is very wrong. I hope she’s not ill. |
I assume you mean Trump is more proud, but that is so mind-boggling to me. He doesnt give a rat's ass about anyone or anything but himself and money. Narcissists gonna narcissist. |
NP here. I wondered if she and Barack weren't comfortable being in the same room at such a high-profile event when the Secret Service has proven themselves incompetent lately, for the sake of their children. I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone suggest that.

There have been rumors about the Obamas marriage being on the rocks in the past, but I think it's more that she seriously cannot stomach another Trump presidency and has simply chosen not to attend. |
I'm sick over his win. Does that count? |
I like Michelle Obama but she's clearly done with the national stage - from promoting her sugar water brand at Costco to flaking on attending state funerals. When even Melania Trump is showing up, you know Michelle Obama is thoroughly checked out. |
Melania was paid. Michelle is now a private citizen. She respected Jimmy Carter when he was alive. Trump never respected him or anyone else really. |
We’ll see whose funerals and inaugurations Melania shows up for after Trump is out of office. |
Fair. |
It’s her birthday this Friday. Curious if there will be pictures of her celebrating…and where…and with whom, etc.
If she were sick, it’s doubtful she would be in Hawaii receiving medical care. She could be recovering there though. Maybe she had a facelift? When was she last seen? Or maybe they are divorcing? I still think she would show up at Carter’s funeral. She might be having a mental health crisis. She was very public about it when her mother died. Or like another poster suggested: a strategic decision by Michelle and Barack to avoid appearing together at big events given obvious security threats. |
I am not going to take advice from you. Troll. I honestly wish we could 'quiet quit' so maga realizes all that we do...maybe a lot will call on sick inauguration day January 20 is a holiday. MLK Day. What an insult to Dr King. My family will be gone from the DC area for the three day weekend. I can’t shake the idea that there will be violence from the far right. There’s a big rally on the 19th at the Capital Center. It holds 20,000 people. It starts at three and Trump will pump up the hicks in time for an evening of wilding. |
“He is orange and you treat him like a god. Meanwhile Michelle Obama is a woman so your joke is worse.” “You sure about that? ![]() Yeah. Mrs Obama didn’t pose nude and exhibit her lady parts like your hero Melania. What a great country when an escort can gain citizenship and become First Lady without ever having a legitimate job. |
I hope she is well, and this is just her having boundaries. She sacrificed a lot for his career, and he is no longer president. B. Obama needs to attend these events. I give her a pass. |
This the crux of the whole thing. Stop being horrified when a Democrat does something that MAGA does on the regular with no consequences. Yes, Dems are more civil and normal than MAGAs, but these are not normal times. Dems have to start doing what it takes to bring MAGA down. |
