Michelle Obama Skips Trump Inauguration: A Controversial Absence
Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend President Trump’s upcoming inauguration, a departure from typical precedent. This decision contrasts with the attendance of other former presidents and their spouses, including George W. and Laura Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. While former President Obama will be present, Michelle Obama’s absence follows her previously expressed criticism of Trump and his rhetoric. Her non-attendance also follows her absence from a recent memorial service for President Jimmy Carter.
