Former first lady Michelle Obama, compared life in America under President Trump to living with a “divorced dad,” that you can only see during the weekend, and considered that the situation may seem “fun” at first, but then you get sick of it.
During an interview with host Stephen Colbert in London, to promote her memoir “Becoming”, Michelle Obama spoke about the current administration and considered that his performance may not be the best nor what the country needs.
“We come from a broken family, we are a little restless,” Obama said of the current presidency. “Sometimes you spend the weekend with the divorced dad. That feels funny but then you get sick. That is what is happening in the United States. We are living with the divorced dad, “said the former lady.
The former first lady confessed that lately she has experienced problems to watch the news and keep up with them, so she has had to learn to take a rhythm. “When I’m not able to deal emotionally with that, I turn it off for a moment, I just leave some of those things in my world when I’m ready. You can not have a constant diet of fear and frustration, ” Michelle said in relation to the subject.
Despite the difficult outlook, Obama showed hope that the situation will get better, considering that the US has overcome worse challenges than it currently faces. “We have always come out on the other end, better and stronger. We are moving in a direction of diversity and inclusion. Nobody said it was easy. We are right in the middle of the uncomfortable trajectory of change, “she concluded on the subject.
According to media reports, the memoir of the former first lady has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and is being considered the “most successful memory in history”.
