Michelle Obama was heavily criticized for a New Year's message shared with her followers just weeks ahead of Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office.
The former first lady took to Instagram on Friday afternoon with a minute-and-a-half-long video message wishing her followers a happy holiday season as 2024 officially comes to a close.
But the internet wasn't so keen about her words of encouragement for the American people.
The video (snip) showed the former first lady against a white background as she began to address the lens.
'Happy holidays!' she gleefully began.
She then took a few moments to speak of the year just ahead - and how the nation may be feeling about the near future.
'I know it's been a difficult few months for so many of us - and folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain,' she said.
'But even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful.'
The former first lady then spoke of the hope she personally sees through the people she works with through the Obama Foundation.
(snip) But many thought her 'gloomy' message to the internet was taking aim at Trump's landslide victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential election just last month.
And hundreds of viewers flooded the comments with their own opinions on what's in store for 2025.
'Twenty-four more days and we are out of this nightmare you and your husband created for the American people!' one commenter wrote.
Another agreed, adding: 'What a joke. Trump can hopefully fix the mess your husband has gotten this country into. The subway in your video, how ironic.'
Another comment read: 'The only sad person is you and your butt buddy Obama.'

I hope she’s not planning a fistfull of Valiums on the evening of 1/19. That would break my heart!
Pres. Trump makes Mike’s balls itch.
This is one very ugly person, having nothing to do with her outward appearance. Quite possibly the most racist individual to inhabit the White House in modern times.
How demented are Liberals and Democrats? They think Big Mike is beautiful! More beautiful than Melania Trump.
Hideous.
Who cares what she says? I’m sure she’ll be feeling very “anxious” at her compounds in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard.
Is that Stevie Wonder in the back seat?
Know what? I could care less what she (?) thinks.
Class will tell, and low class just screams. She needs to just keep to herself and find something to do that helps people, but she desperately needs attention.
Dude.
Know what? I could care less what she (?) thinks.
++++++
I guess you care a little bit?
Funny thing is, I could NOT care less what she thinks.
Go back on 24/7/365 vacation
Eye wash warning is in order
She looks like the first, black female Alfred E. Newman.
I guess this means she’s no longer proud to be an American.
Well, Shelly, it was a good ride from 2008, wasn’t it???
Hopefully we’ll be seeing less of the Wookie next year.
Debbie Downer strikes again... is she no longer proud of America now that her husband isn’t president any longer?
Obama Foundation = Clinton Foundation
