In an interview in London for her new memoir "Becoming," former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a stinging assessment of the state of American politics and, specifically, of President Donald Trump. Said Obama:
"We come from a broken family, we are a little unsettled. Sometimes you spend the weekend with divorced dad. That feels like fun but then you get sick. That is what America is going through. We are living with divorced dad."
The Independent, which reported on Obama's comments, said she offered that assessment in a joking manner. But joking or not, there's some real truth in Obama's assessment of how we got here -- and got Trump.
A look at the 2016 exit poll explains why.
On character trait after character trait, large majorities of the public gave Trump poor ratings. Consider:

The Moose is clearly divorced from Reality....
Cue that sound Chewbacca makes.

She is living divorced from reality.
May WideLoad Sasquatch go back in the woods.
She’s living with a jug-eared Kenyan.
I’ll take divorced dad over homo dad every day of the week.
Wow, insulting the dems base. I’d guess most divorces are amongst liberals.
I wish this vile woman would STFU once and for all.
So the Commie b*tch just trashed divorced parents..if she were a Republican the left would be demanding an apology from her, but since she’s a commie wookie not a peep
Go back to the can and fix your jockstrap Mike....it’s showing again.
Didn’t read because her opinion means nothing to me.
But I had to say she reminds me of a divorced DAD more than Trump
I compare Michelle Obama to a wookie.
Can you say... PROJECTION!
I guess the comparison of “Trump” and “Divorced Dad” is the latest dog whistle, equating two great evils in the minds of her female audience.
After 8 years with Adam and Steve we are happy to have a real man as a father.
She is so low IQ!
Collectivists and leftists and democrats and socialists and all those lefty ists and ats are united that way, but unaware of it.
So, it's a telling projection.
The problem for Michelle's projection is she thinks the whole of the electorate is that, when only half is. The other half, not looking to Trump as a parent but as a qualified janitor-employee to keep the dang building clean and safe and well run ... couldn't give a crap what kind of father he is. We don't want a father. We want an employee.
He's just a guy with a job to do, and that job is not to be a good or bad daddy or any kind of daddy to a party of grown entitled tyrant power hungry children that he never fathered.
Michelle is a child who successfully pretended to be the mommy for so long that she thinks she is the mommy of the country. But that kind of pretending is what children do, not adults, and it is pretend, not reality. So grow the hell up Michelle, you're an adult now, and when and if you do, maybe you can pass the word on to the rest of the kids you played mommy too that you are not the mommy, and they are not the children.
That one insight, grasped my a few tens of millions, would make a big difference for this country, not to mention its REAL children who are now learning to be adults from adults who still think they are children and that the good and the bad in their lives comes from the goodness or badness of the mommy and daddy, who may thus be judged ... as Michelle judges Trump with her silly projected name calling.
No Michelle - that’s what we had when your husband was President.
What we have now is a REAL family with a dad willing to make things right and actually fight for his family. This is something you’re unfamiliar with coming from a broken home as you do and did.
This divorced Dad raised his 2 kids from the time they were 2 and 6
And did it without that White Privilege check every month that the single black mothers get
