Michelle Obama has revealed why she skipped Donald Trump‘s second inauguration this past January. The former first lady raised eyebrows when she did not attend the second inauguration of President Donald Trump in January.

At the time of the inauguration, Obama stayed mum about her absence, but a source close to her suggested that Trump’s attacks on her family and people of color in general played a role. “She’s not one to plaster on a pleasant face and pretend for protocol’s sake,” the source told People.
