Michelle Obama opens up about her ‘uncontrollable sobbing’ on day of Trump’s inauguration

Washington CNN — Michelle Obama broke down shortly after leaving then-President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the former first lady candidly shared in a new podcast, as the emotions of leaving their family’s home after eight years and resentment over Trump taking office overwhelmed her.

“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,” Obama said, referring to her final trip aboard the presidential airplane.

The fresh revelation of Obama’s experience came in a clip of her “The Light Podcast,” which launched on Audible Tuesday. The podcast audio comes from the former first lady’s recent book tour for her third book, “The Light We Carry,” which reflects on how she’s dealt with relationships, self-doubt and anxiety during uncertain times. It captures conversations from her visits to six cities with all-star moderators, like Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, David Letterman and Conan O’Brien to promote and discuss her best-selling book.

“After the inauguration – and we know whose inauguration we were at – that day was so emotional on so many different reasons. We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” Obama shared. “They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere. So we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.”

When is the last time you read about a conservative acting like a hateful, spoiled little crybaby child, when “their” person didn’t win an election?

Don't fall prey to agit-prop, ridicule (With everyone you know plus "in the faces" of those you don't) is your best weapon against this strategic narrative.

…resentment over Trump taking office overwhelmed her.

Michelle is always going to be angry and resentful about something. It’s just who she is.

We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” Obama shared. “

Cry me a river.

My goodness - that was one incredibly absurd quote of hers I had not previously seen.

Dear Michelle: Mannix, The Jeffersons, The Cosby Show, Oprah, Family Matters, etc. were around long before you ever became First Lady.
