Former President Barack Obama has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his marriage - and it turns out Donald Trump is causing trouble at home.
In a new interview with The New Yorker, Obama, 64, admitted that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together.
The problem? He keeps getting pulled back into the politics of the day.
The former commander-in-chief said Trump's return to the White House is the reason he cannot simply walk away, and that his inability to do so has become a source of friction at home.
'It does create genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her,' Obama said. 'I'm more forgiving of it, I understand why people feel that way.'
He also pushed back against critics who say he isn't doing enough, arguing his continued involvement is without precedent. 'No other ex-president was the main surrogate for the Party for four election cycles after they left office,'
As for the public clamor for him to do still more, Obama was philosophical: 'The fact that people want me to be doing more is a good sign.'
Obama was just 47 when he entered the White House and 55 when he left - younger than most of his predecessors - and has remained one of the most active ex-presidents in modern memory.
Just last month, Obama was the top national figure supporting the Virginia amendment to gerrymander the state's congressional maps and give a number of currently GOP-controlled seats to Democrats.
He also recently appeared alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a visit to a childcare center.
But many were quick to realize that the Democrats seemingly forgot to praise for their most recent leader in the Oval Office - Joe Biden.

They're calling it "Trumps Fault" ...
Man up, Barry!
Heh, heh ... even Big Mike knows that she compares poorly next to Melania ...
... garbage truck ... Ferrari
Yep, it’s all Trump’s fault on everything.
Life is full of choices, he can choose Big Mike or not Big Mike..................which will he choose.
Perhaps the Bamster fears accountability for his attempted coup.
They can’t just shut up and enjoy all the money they’ve earned from their years of public service, public speaking fees, book deals, and Pelosi stock tips.
As for the public clamor for him to do still more, Obama was philosophical: ‘The fact that people want me to be doing more is a good sign.’
Yeah, whatever happened to the Biden Crime Family. I just don’t hear much about them anymore. Probably for the better.
Mrs. Obama is still probably angry that, as a graduate of Princeton and the Harvard Law School, she flunked the Illinois bar exam which ordinarily has a pass rate of about 90 percent. She probably thinks it is her husband’s fault, whose political ambitions made her live in that awful White House, having to divide her time now between three multimillion dollar mansions, and having the burden of being worth over 100 million dollars.
He’s getting the vapors.
So it’s Obama and his loyalists in the government sending all the assassins.
A lying leftist communist pos.
Going to cause a lot more tension as we charge your treasonous accomplices you demon possessed husk of a human being.
Cuckold much Barry? How insulting....
She’s still angry that an old white lady dared ask her to reach an item on the supermarket shelf.
She considered that racist.
“In a new interview with The New Yorker, Obama, 64, admitted that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together.” yeah i know what you mean magic one I should have said ‘might see you later sweetheart’.
