Unveiling the Reasons Behind Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Absence
After missing former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, a statement from the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama shared with The Associated Press, mentioned that Michelle would also be skipping Trump’s inauguration on January 20, when he will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, without providing any specific explanation.
“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” said a statement.
Sources close to the Obamas told PageSix that Michelle’s decision is intentional. “She’s never been fake and she’s never been phony. She’s always been very deliberate about where and how she shows up.” Michelle reportedly feels no obligation to unify around Trump or show support.
“She showed up reluctantly for the election. They were united, but she doesn’t have to unify around [Trump]. She doesn’t have to say anything. Her absence speaks volumes,” they added.
