Michelle Obama Explains Why She Decided Not To Attend Trump’s Inauguration

Michelle Obama is opening up about her decision to skip President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

On the April 23 episode of her podcast IMO With Michelle Obama, she explained that it was simply the “choice that was right for me.” Despite rumors suggesting marital issues with her husband, former President Barack Obama, she clarified that it wasn’t about their relationship, but about doing what felt best for her.

“People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart.”

Michelle also shared how she had to “trick” herself into sticking with her decision by not allowing her team to prepare a dress for the event. She admitted,

“If I’m not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don’t even want to have a dress ready.”
