Michelle Obama Speaks Out About Night Donald Trump Was Elected, Reveals She Was Asleep


You would think that Michelle Obama would really care about politics and huge things like the presidential election, but it turns out when Donald Trump was elected, Michelle wasn’t waiting up late to hear the news. People shared that Michelle is now speaking out about what she was doing at that point in her life and it is actually surprising to a lot of people. This story has quickly spread today due to the shock over what she was up to at that very important time in history.

A lot of people stayed up late to hear the results, but Michelle told another story. She shared saying, “I went to bed. I don’t like to watch the political discourse; I never have. I barely did with him.” During the entire campaign, it was obvious that Michelle Obama was cheering on Hillary Clinton, but that wasn’t enough to get her to stay up late to watch the end of the election. It doesn’t sound like she rushed to the television to watch her husband when he was on the television either.

That wasn’t all that Michelle Obama had to say, though. She went on to explain saying, “Anything that I felt about the election I said and I stand by. Once you do what you can do, then the rest is easy. It was in the hands of the American people.” Michelle Obama has a point because if she stayed up or went to bed, that would not change the results of the election. She just went on with her life and of course, she still found out who won when she woke up.

Another thing that Michelle Obama shared about is how she plans to help makes things easier on Trump as he takes over. She said, “This is our democracy, and this is how it works. We are ready to work with the next administration and make sure they are as successful as they can be. Because that’s what’s best for this country.” It will be interesting to see how easy the change is for everyone involved. Her husband has said all along that he wants to make this an easy transition for everyone involved.

Variety shared that Michelle Obama will be doing one more big interview before they leave the White House. CBS and OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network) are joining to give America the final one-on-one interview with Michelle Obama in the White House. This Obama interview will air on CBS on December 19 and have a second airing on OWN on December 21. It will be called First Lady Michelle Obama Says Farewell to the White House — An Oprah Winfrey Special. This is an interview that everyone can’t wait to hear.

Everyone is hopeful that Michelle Obama will share what her big plans are for once they move out of the White House. The Obama family will have a big change after living there for the past eight years. There has been talk about her writing a memoir, and it has even been teased that Michelle would do great in politics, but nobody knows what her big plans are just yet. Heading into politics after her husband was done has worked out pretty well for Hillary Clinton. Hopefully, Michelle will share what she has planned if she even knows yet.
