Michelle Obama Breaks Her Silence on Why She Skipped Trump's Inauguration — and the Moment She Made the Decision

Michelle Obama opens up about why she didn't attend Donald Trump's second inuguration in January on the latest episode of her podcast, 'IMO.'

“People couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart,” Obama said of the headlines surrounding the inauguration and her husband's solo outings. “It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was right for me, that was a hard thing for me to do.”

The author and activist said she had to “basically trick” herself into following through on her desire to skip the inauguration — by ensuring that she would have nothing to wear if she started feeling the pressure to attend.

“It's a muscle that you have to build,” she explained of her philosophy. “And I think we suffered, because it's almost like we started training late in life to build that muscle, right? I am just now starting to build it.”

“I want our daughters, I want the young women out there… I want my girls to start practicing different strategies for saying no,” she continued. “After all that I've done in this world, if I am still showing them that I have to keep- I still have to show people that I love my country, that I'm doing the right thing, that I am always setting, going high all the time, even in the face of a lot of hypocrisy and contradiction, all I'm doing is keeping that crazy bar that our mothers and grandmothers set for us.”

Leave your man out to dry brehettes

She should have gone as a show of support to her husband.

Barack doesn’t fukk with Trump either and I’m sure it was an uncomfortable experience, but sometimes you got to bite the bullet and show solidarity and not send your man into hostile territory alone.

I get what she’s saying, but I don’t agree with her on this.

Good for her.

Deep hatred & resentment of the beautiful Black, Harvard Law couple in the White House is partly what fueled maga.

fukk Trump

She stands on her principals

As a brief aside, the one "bone" i have to pick with Obama, and even Kamala as silly as this sounds

is that they have way too much faith in the average american than that person does of themselves.

She should’ve just said, “I don’t fukk.with Barry like that anymore”. and most cats would’ve respected that.
