Michelle Obama provoked a wave of online criticism Friday after she shared a New Year's message with her followers on Instagram.
The former first lady posted a video wishing her followers "Happy Holidays" and highlighting the work of the Obama Presidential Center as 2024 comes to a close. But critics noted with disapproval that her video begins on a sour note.
"Happy holidays, everyone. I know it's been a difficult few months for so many of us, and that folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain," Obama says in the video.
"But even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful," she adds, before mentioning programs operated by the Obama Foundation.
Hundreds of Instagram users commented on Obama's video within hours after it went live. While many thanked her for the message and showed support for the Obama Foundation, several supporters of President-elect Trump read into Obama's comments. Their takeaway was that she had Trump's victory in mind when she spoke about "a difficult few months," and they made their objections known.
"Michelle, America is excited about what’s to come: a new horizon and prosperity for the nation. 2025-2029! No anxiety here," one user replied.
"A difficult few years from the damage the Biden administration has caused!" wrote another commenter. "Things have never looked better since Trump won the election! The people have the power! Not even all those celebrities could change that!"
"We are certain it won't be worse than your husband's administration or the Biden administration," said a third. "That we are CERTAIN."
