Donald’s wife has been waiting in the wings for months. Now she’s telling all.
And Melania Trump accused Barack Obama of one terrible action in this scathing interview.
Melania Trump has accused the Obamas of undermining her husband, Donald Trump, during his first term as president, setting the tone for a sharper and more confident return to the White House.
The soon-to-be first lady didn’t hold back as she reflected on the obstacles her husband faced during his initial inauguration in 2017.
She expressed optimism about his upcoming second term, this time without former President Barack Obama in a position to obstruct their plans.
“The first time was challenging, we didn’t have much of the information,” Melania shared during an interview with Fox & Friends, recalling the hurdles of their first transition to power.
“The information was withheld from us by the previous administration,” she said, directly pointing fingers at Obama.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama’s decision to skip Trump’s upcoming inauguration has sparked speculation, especially given her vocal criticisms of the Trumps in recent years.
“But this time I have everything… it’s a very different transition this time, second time around,” Melania added, emphasizing her preparedness and determination for her husband’s next term.
Having learned the ropes, she remarked, “I have the plans, I already packed, I have selected the furniture.”
“So it’s a very different transition this time, the second time around.” With President Biden, Obama’s former vice president, leaving the White House, she expressed confidence in tackling their ambitious agenda to restore the nation.
Reflecting on her first tenure as first lady, Melania acknowledged the difficulties she faced and how she’s grown into the role.
“I just feel that people didn’t accept me. Maybe they didn’t understand me the way maybe they do now. And I didn’t have much support,” she noted, addressing critics who underestimated her.
“Maybe some people see me as just a wife of the president, but I’m standing on my own two feet, independent. I have my own thoughts, I have my own, ‘yes’ and ‘no,’” she asserted, signaling her stronger resolve.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama, a long-time critic of Donald Trump, has chosen not to attend the Jan. 20 inauguration. While her absence is notable, it is not entirely surprising given her history of pointed remarks about Trump’s wealth, character, and policies.
Despite Michelle’s infamous mantra, “When they go low, we go high,” she hasn’t held back in her attacks, even when she urged men to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I am asking y’all, from the core of my being, to take our lives seriously,” she declared passionately during a rally for Harris.
Interestingly, former President Barack Obama did attend Jimmy Carter’s funeral alongside Trump, with their light-hearted exchange drawing significant media attention. In stark contrast, Michelle’s absence at both the funeral and the inauguration has raised eyebrows.
All other living former presidents and first ladies — including George W. and Laura Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Joe and Jill Biden — are expected to attend the inauguration.
The sharp divide between the Trumps and Obamas underscores the lingering tensions from the last eight years, setting the stage for a charged political atmosphere as the Trumps prepare for their next chapter.
