In an Instagram video featuring her voiceover, she highlighted the work of the Obama Presidential Center while acknowledging that “it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us”:

I can’t think of anyone more irrelevant than Michelle Obama - except perhaps her husband.

I’m so sorry , Michelle. Your time of relevance has come and gone. Your husband’s insufferable diatribe to black men only drove more voters to Trump. We’re just tired of the both of you, so why don’t you just take the nine-figure fortune this horrible racist country put into your pocket, and STFU

When she says “Merry Christmas”, I will be pleasantly surprised.

I don’t think it will happen.

No, most folks are feeling relieved and optimistic after the election.

“Mrs. Irrelevant wanting some attention”

Narcissism just drips off of these two grifters.

The scary thing is that had she run for president, she most probably would have won and doomed us to an additional four years of clueless ‘leadership’ backed by laughable ideas which have always failed and always will fail.

These two epitomize the meaning of the word ‘ungrateful’.

Difficult for her because she and her husband ended up looking like fools for the hateful speeches they gave on behalf of their candidate that paid everyone to speak for her. No way do I believe that the O’s were left out of the gravy train. It’s difficult to figure out that people really don’t like you.

Fortunately for us she is too lazy and entitled to run for president. She doesn’t want that, or any job, to disrupt her life of luxury.

IIRC Barry wished everyone a “Happy Turkey Day” one Thanksgiving.

Yep, she loves wandering around her house in fuzzy sweats telling the maids and cooks what to do.
