To make room for President Donald Trump’s new ballroom, the White House’s East Wing was torn down to much criticism. Now, former First Lady Michelle Obama has weighed in on the demolition.
During a Today show interview with Jenna Bush Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, Obama spoke about her time as America’s first Black first lady.
“There’s pressure for every first lady,” she said. “The light was a little bit brighter because politics created an other-ness. There were some people who tried to paint everything we did as a sign that we weren’t ready, that we weren’t suited, that we weren’t American enough. And I don’t think that other families dealt with that kind of criticism. But as you know, the first lady, it’s a strange job.”
Bush Hager commented, “Well, there’s no guidebook,” and Obama replied, “There’s no guidebook,” before adding, “There’s barely a staff. Now we don’t have a building,” referring to the demolition of the East Wing. Bush Hager, laughing, said, “I know, R.I.P. the East Wing.”

Gawd, just go away!
Not your house, Michelle
I wish she and her cohort would shut up! Who invited them to come out of the sink drain?
Oh, now I remember. Nancy Reagan had a free ride, no scrutiny, wonderful press coverage. Oh, and Melania. She had way more covers on slobbering magazines. Oh, wait . . .
Demolition of the East Wing — misogynist and racist
Demolition of our borders and culture — fine and dandy.
Oh, and didn’t she have a staff of 40+?
Somebody should teach this woman about how a multi-millionaire should behave. You’re not selling the victimhood at all, M’Obama.
If they think tents are appropriate...
Dear Michelle,
We don’t care about you. Not even a little bit.
Have a good day.
Yours Truly,
America
If a nothing says nothing about nothing, does anyone give a shi...er...give a Dorkbama?
Sould have been a Waffle House ?.
Looks like something Pharaoh would say after Moses got through with him.
how about the outhouses that guests had to use
Sounds like that is where they had all the network spying operation setup.
Someone was monitoring Trump’s phone calls in 2016.
LOL
RIP, Shelly Duvall.
Uh, pretty sure it ain’t original to the WH. You know, like basket ball courts and bowling alleys and swimming pools.... Dumbassery on display.
Like Michelle has ANY esthetic taste.
As others have mentioned, they were content to entertain foreign dignitaries in tents with port-a-potties.
