Michelle Obama slammed for comparing Trump to divorced dads

WASHINGTON-(MaraviPost)-The former US First Lady Michelle Obama, has come under fire for comparing President Trump to a divorced dad, over his transgender policies.

Michelle Obama made this known while speaking in London’s O2 Arena concerning her frustration over Trump rolling back a number of Barack

Obama’s policies, especially the transgender policies. She said; “For anyone who had any problems with Barack Obama, let’s just think about what we were troubled by – there were never any indictments.”

“We come from a broken family, we are a little unsettled,” she said. “Sometimes you spend the weekend with divorced dad. That feels like fun but then you get sick. That is what America is going through. We are living with divorced dad.”

According to Laila News online, though Mrs Obama didn’t explain what she meant by “get sick” but people felt it was an affront on divorced dad and that it suggested that they do not have what it takes to properly care for their kids.

She continued: “It’s like swimming in the ocean with great waves. If you are not a great swimmer, you are not going to learn in the middle of a tidal wave. You are going to resort to your kicking and drowning and what you knew how to do in the pool.”

Michelle Obama Hits At Trump: America Is Now ‘Living With Divorced Dad’

According to Puff Post, in a conversation with Stephen Colbert at the O2 Arena, Obama said life under Trump was a little like being a teen in a broken home:

We come from a broken family, we are a little unsettled. Sometimes you spend the weekend with divorced dad. That feels like fun but then you get sick. That is what America is going through. We are living with divorced dad.”

Although Obama did not mention Trump by name, she referred to him indirectly several times, including when she said the presidency didn’t change who you are but instead reveals who you are, The Independent reported.

It is like swimming in the ocean with great waves,” Obama said. “If you are not a great swimmer, you are not going to learn in the middle of a tidal wave. You are going to resort to your kicking and drowning and what you knew how to do in the pool.”

Obama also told Colbert she turns off the news sometimes.

“I only let some of that stuff into my world when I’m ready,” Obama said. “You can’t have a steady diet of fear and frustration coming in.”

Obama is in Europe promoting her bestselling book, Becoming.
