The wife of the 44th US President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, pointedly ignored the invitation to the inauguration of Donald Trump. The 61-year-old lawyer has repeatedly publicly criticized the politician’s activities, so she will not attend the inauguration ceremony of the newly elected head of state, so as “not to be fake”.

As Page Six reports, citing insider information, the lawyer is very careful about the events where he plans to appear. In addition, it is noted that she was rather reluctant to attend the presidential elections.

" She always carefully chooses where and how she will appear in front of the public.. She even reluctantly came to the polls,” the source explained, “She doesn’t need to explain anything. Absence speaks volumes"

It should be noted that Michelle Obama made her views on the newly elected US president clear during her speech at the Democratic National Convention in August:

“For years, Donald Trump has done everything in his power to make people fear us.”. You see, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly successful people who also happen to be black."

In 2017, the lawyer supported her husband Barack Obama's decision to appear at Donald Trump's inauguration. However, over time, her criticism of the Republican became increasingly sharper, so she decided to remain true to her beliefs.
