Trump team ‘having a good laugh’ over Michelle Obama’s ‘deliberate’ decision to skip inauguration: ‘Didn’t expect her to come anyway’

MAGA sources could not care less that Michelle Obama is snubbing Donald Trump’s inauguration, a source tells Page Six.

“They are having a good laugh,” a source says of those involved in planning the inaugural festivities. “They didn’t expect her to come anyway.”

One Republican source speculated, “It’s obvious that this was her way of protesting Trump. She hates him.”

Michelle attended Trump’s inaugural in 2017, and said of the experience on “The Light Podcast,” “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. There was no reflection of the broader sense of America.”

She also took jabs at Trump during the Democratic National Convention, saying, “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black.”

A Democratic source tried to play down the diss, noting, “Donald Trump and Melania didn’t go to Joe Biden’s inauguration and nobody cared. No one said anything.”

Barack and Michelle Obamas’ office announced this week that Michelle will skip the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies on Jan. 20th, but that the former president will attend.

Michelle also skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Jan. 9 because she was on an “extended vacation” in Hawaii.

She would have apparently been seated next to Trump.Michelle also skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Jan. 9 because she was on an “extended vacation” in Hawaii.

That picture reminds me of the song. “One of these things is not like the others one of these things just isn’t the same.”

The First Wookie has always had a racist chip on her shoulder. She’s constantly aggrieved about something. I don’t know how Obama puts up with her.

There is a persistent rumor that Big Mike has testicular cancer.

Don’t most people have a least one relative who spreads happiness by not showing up?

Trump skipped Biden's inauguration, who cares. Go if you want, don't go if you want.

“she blurted out ‘For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country…”. “..cos now, BLACK people is in CHARGE!..” (her thoughts..)

And a day later, she realized that she and Barry were NOT the ones ‘in charge’…

Yes. That HAS to be the ultimate irony, huh?

As I said in the other thread…

Why would we miss any of the globalists and commie scum if any of them did not go to the inauguration?

I don’t care.

I don’t even think President Trump should have to acknowledge any of them.

I hope he ignores them individually and instead just points out the extensive deeply entrenched damage that their incompetence has caused in this country.

Both the Dems and GOP members.

They only represented the 13%? I'm fairly certain she didn't count Clarence Thomas or any other official of color who had supported a Republican. I was down on the lawn, and there were a number of POCs in the crowd.

She has a “wide stance”, even when sitting.
