Michelle Obama hates this, too
While the presidency of Donald Trump arrives with a suite of attendant dangers, most pressingly his immediate attempt to ignore the impending destruction of the planet, it is also blended with a great sense of indignity. A charlatan is the president—a liar, a racist, a misogynist, a know-nothing. For anyone who didn’t vote for him, not to mention the many who didn’t vote at all as well as probably even some of the people who did vote for him, today’s festivities carry an attendant sorrow. It is a requiem for a certain idea of the American character, and a victory for another idea of it.
Michelle Obama, in doing the final bit of due diligence she must as the nation’s first lady, bears all of this on her face today. She lacks her husband’s ability to maintain composure in this moment, and looks ready to drink. She is fucking hating this shit, and people across Twitter noticed.
Many of the posts were just: ugh, yeah.
