Former First Lady Michelle Obama once said, “When they go low, we go high,” referring to what Republicans do compared to Democrats.

But when it comes to the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, Michelle Obama is simply a no-go.

According to a report in The Hill, allies of the former first lady have said she wants nothing to do with Trump and not attending the inauguration is a big part of that.

“She meant every word she said on the campaign trail with every fiber of her being,” one person close to Michelle Obama said. “And she’s no hypocrite.”

Another aide added Michelle Obama is “saving some credibility” by not attending the ceremony.

“She campaigned the hardest against him personally, of anyone,” the aide said.

This is not the first time a former first lady did not attend an inauguration. Trump and former first lady Melania Trump did not attend President Joe Biden’s ceremony in 2021.

“And no one took issue with that,” the second ally said. “So why is this a big deal? The chain has already been broken.” 

A statement from the Obamas’ office simply said former President Barack Obama is “confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies,” while Michelle Obama “will not attend the upcoming inauguration.” 

Michelle Obama also did not attend the funeral for former President Jimmy Carter last week due to an apparent “scheduling conflict.” 

While on the campaign trail in 2024, Michelle Obama slammed Trump’s character and described Trump of having “gross incompetence.”

“In any other profession or arena, Trump’s critical track record and amoral character would be embarrassing, shameful and disqualifying,” she said.

Nobody cares about Michelle Obama

Nobody gives a shit if Michelle Obama shows up at the inauguration. Nobody.

Michelle Obama’s absence saves the press from having to report her calling Trump a ‘miserable motherfucker’ to his face. But it would make great press eh?

America is done with Michelle Obama.
