Michelle Obama shared with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts some key advice she'd give her pre-White House self, if she had the chance, as the two sat down to discuss her memoir, "Becoming."

"You know the hard parts were the things that I expected," Michelle Obama told Roberts in the exclusive interview.

"That it was gonna be hard, you know? Being the first black anything is gonna be hard."

"So much of this country lives in isolation and we just don't know each other. ...

There were people who didn't know what a black woman was and sounded like. And, so I knew that was gonna be a challenge, that I'd have to earn my grace -- and I experienced that on the campaign trail," she said.

On the campaign trail, she was insulted and her patriotism was questioned.

"I write about those, you know, those nasty times where people, you know, called me Barack's 'baby mama,' you know? Accused me of not loving my country. ... Told me I was angry," she said. And, I was, like, 'This isn't me. Wait, wait, people. This isn't who I am.'"

President Trump responded Friday to Michelle Obama's comments about him in her book, pointing the finger at former President Barack Obama.

"She got paid a lot of money to write a book and they always expect a little controversy," Trump told reporters. "I'll give you a little controversy back, I'll never forgive [President Barack Obama] for what he did to our U.S. military. It was depleted, and I had to fix it."

Did she not once publicly refer to Obozo as her baby daddy?
