Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017 was an emotional day for Michelle Obama for reasons you might expect — and a few reasons that might surprise you. The former first lady is revealing the roller-coaster of emotions she went through as she, Barack Obama, and daughters Malia and Sasha, bid goodbye to their home of eight years.
In a clip from the March 7 premiere episode of Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast, via People, the 59-year-old author of The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times shared that she was “uncontrollably sobbing” while “saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise” her daughters. That personal sentiment was also compounded by the dramatic shift in attendees at Donald Trump’s inauguration, noting, “There was no reflection of the broader sense of America.”
“To sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display — there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage,” she said while also taking a dig at Donald Trump’s popularity by noting the poor attendance — “There weren’t that many people there — we saw it, by the way!” People have often remarked on her stormy mood on that day and Michelle has no problem owning her feelings. “No, I was not [in a good mood]! But you had to hold it together like you do for eight years,” she added.
Once she was alone with her family on their final Air Force One flight, and that’s when the real waterworks began. “When those doors shut, I cried for 30 minutes straight, uncontrollable sobbing, because that’s how much we were holding it together for eight years,” she recalled. The pressure of eight years in the hot spotlight took its toll —

A good reason to vote for Trump again!
Boo Hoo. 🎻
Gorillas sob???
I seriously doubt that Big Mike had any emotion that day other than hatred and rage.
Oh for crying out loud. This woman is certifiably mentally unstable. Lady, it’s called Politics. You win some, you lose some. At this level, you are supposed to have developed the emotional maturity to live there, cope with the pressures as well as deal with the day that you have to leave the White House. They got TWO years — what else does she want??
She speaks like a spoiled entitled brat. But then, so do all her constituents, so nothing surprising here.
Well maybe, Mike, you should have just committed seppuku, and spared yourself and all of us from this spew.
What a reprehensible POS.
She hates this country. She said so herself.
She was only shedding tears because her easy grifting days were over. But hey, the money keeps rolling in after the fact for Leftists like her.
The feel good story of the day!!!
Big wookies don’t cry more like it.
Yep, she is a race grifter like Sharpton. Travels the world in 1st class, then it was over. None of these elites want to spend THEIR money. They get off on spending OUR money.
Crying because the free Government ride was over.
That ho is a friggin’ liar. She needs her ass sued. She was crying my ass.
The mooch looks homeless in that picture.
Yeh its hard to get jerked off the public teat. No more $4 million vacays for Christmas in Hawaii.
Honestly, who the heck really cares?
Since when did someone’s emotional state, what? six years ago now, become worthy of making headline news?
Since we can’t grab MO by his balls
That's what I figured as well.
She makes me want to throw up.
If you watch the video within the article, you might want to hit the mute button at the time Bambi and Moochie arrive, because the jerks commenting practically swoon when they see Moochie with a gift for Laura.
The media had no problem with him spending millions and millions and millions of dollars vacationing for eight years with hundreds of people also going along. He couldn’t bother though to dress appropriately and God forbid she had some ceremony to attend. He is a rude male that lies about everything. Obama is so stupid he couldn’t even remember to call him Michelle instead of Michael. The fact that Obama continues to be involved in our government is a tragedy.
