Michelle Obama won’t be pulling up to Donald Trump’s inauguration because “she’s no phony,” according to a source who exclusively spoke to @pagesix.
While Barack seems to be keeping it cordial with the incoming President, Michelle’s not playing that game. As we previously reported, Barack Obama and Trump were seen getting along at Jimmy Carter’s funeral, but Michelle was MIA, apparently enjoying a long getaway in Hawaii. The Office of Barack and Michelle Obama dropped a statement to the Associated Press on Tuesday, saying that Michelle “won’t be attending the upcoming inauguration.”

The statement didn’t share an explanation for Michelle not wanting to be there, but in a new report the news outlet reached out to someone in the Obama’s circle to get more details. “She’s never been fake and she’s never been phony. She’s always been very deliberate about where and how she shows up,” the source reportedly said.
“She showed up reluctantly for the election. They were united, but she doesn’t have to unify around [Trump]. She doesn’t have to say anything. Her absence speaks volumes,” they added.
Michelle made her stance on a Trump presidency crystal clear when she spoke at the Democratic National Convention last August.

“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard working, highly successful people who happen to be black,” she said.
Trump was a major player in the “birther movement,” pushing the conspiracy theory that the previous president wasn’t born in the U.S. for years before his 2016 campaign.
He eventually copped to being wrong, but he never actually said sorry. While Michelle started off on a positive note, even showing up at Trump’s inauguration in 2017.
But her critiques of Trump got way stronger during the last election as she hit the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Why would we normalize that type of backwards leadership? Doing so only demeans and cheapens our politics,” Michelle said at the DNC. “Most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don’t get a second, third or fourth chance,” she added.
~ It would be well to remember that Michelle was purported to be a “him/her”, but was accepted as being a 1st Lady, regardless. Donald Trump is The President & deserves, absolutely, the respect that he has earned… by the People’s vote! A petty & demeaning expression of disrespect, as well as an abysmal lack of decorum for former 1st’lady’!)
Your comments are the exact reason that Michelle Obama is NOT attending. You question her sexuality and make negative comments. She is so unbothered and it bothers people like you that she does not care. Donald Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration nor give respect to him as an incoming President.
You said it very well👍
Thank you. She’s NOT a FAKE LIAR. She’s standing on her word and not being a flukey. That’s how we MICHELLES ROLL! & no conversation is needed. Bamm!
Michelle Obama is a racist
Thank you!
Beautifully said and very truthful. This is facts with public receipts but I bet @DianaSmith will find a way to turn it around and play victim and make Trump a victim too. That’s “the American Way” to them!
well put Cat Smith
Where is it written that ANY FORMER ‘FLOTUS’ is REQUIRED to attend ANY Political Activities AFTER her term(s) is completed?
It would be well to remember that instead of Trump staying to see Biden get sworn it, Trump got on Marine One and left, talk about being disrespectful? Remember that!
In reply to your comment I believe that everyone no matter who has a right to their opinion. I respect your opinion and I’m sure the ex-first lady does also. Let’s not throw shade just because we differ in our opinion.
She owes him nothing she don’t care for him so why show up trying to celebrate with him staying away shows respect rather than being fake
And did
There are a lot of things that can be surgically given to a transgender individual, or him/her as you so “intelligently” put it, in order to help them acclimate to their gender identity choices…EXCEPT…you can’t give them a uterus. Michelle Obama has 2 beautiful children. This proves she’s never been anything but a woman. Your argument is ignorance personified as well as baseless.
I think i read that Michelle isn’t fake nor Phony I ride with that & Donald doesn’t earn any respect because he doesn’t give any especially to women and women of color. just get on with your four years and get out of the way!!!!!
She has the right not to be there, by all means, don’t come, but to say that it is because she/he is not a fake and a liar…Please. Michael/Michelle is not but a fake and a liar.
So is your mother, then!! Michelle said “Fck Trump”!! As she should!!🤷🏾♂️
No,Kevin F k your whore mother and that manthing Michelle, bitch is the very definition of fake and phony
