The Trump camp seems unfazed and is reportedly having a good laugh about Michelle Obama’s choice not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration. According to sources close to the matter, the former First Lady’s absence was expected and hasn’t ruffled any feathers.

An insider revealed that the team didn’t anticipate Michelle making an appearance anyway, so her decision wasn’t much of a surprise. During the inauguration, former President Obama attended alone, with Michelle reportedly out of town, casting no shadows of concern among Trump’s supporters.

Michelle’s absence from Trump’s inauguration wasn’t just a one-time occurrence. Her decision to skip the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter also fueled rumors and speculation regarding her relationship with Barack Obama. There were murmurs suggesting potential tensions, but these remain just speculations.

According to some sources, at Carter’s funeral, Michelle would have found herself seated next to Donald Trump. This arrangement might not have been very comfortable for her, so she opted to stay away, possibly sending Barack in her stead.

The former First Lady has previously expressed her discomfort with Donald Trump during his tenure, which makes her absence from any events involving him explainable. In 2017, she voiced her challenges in observing the transfer of power to someone with whom she holds fundamentally contrasting beliefs regarding the nation’s direction.

Michelle’s choices appear to align with her deep values and ideals. For those close to the Trump team, her decision to skip the inauguration brought little surprise or disappointment. It goes to show that, in the larger picture, they are carrying forward with the sentiment: “Who wants her to come anyway!”
