Michelle Obama is done with President-elect Trump, if her decision to skip next week’s inauguration means anything.
The former first lady, who once called on Democrats to go high when Trump’s Republican Party goes low, will not be going to the Capitol to watch Trump take the presidential oath for a second time, leaving her husband, former President Obama, to go it alone.
Longtime allies of the former first lady say she is sending a powerful statement by skipping the event.
They say she wants nothing to do with a man undeserving of the presidency and is making no effort to hide her disdain for Trump.
“She meant every word she said on the campaign trail with every fiber of her being,” one ally said. “And she’s no hypocrite.”
