Michelle Obama: "And then we had to meet the Trumps..."
Michelle Obama Talks Post-White House, Relationships, And Living A Healthy Life At Essence Festival

OBAMA SAT DOWN WITH GAYLE KING AT ESSENCE FESTIVAL AND SHARED RELATIONSHIP AND HEALTHY LIVING ADVICE.
.......
King asked Michelle Obama what her thoughts were at the end of Barack Obama’s second term in the White House. Our Forever First Lady hilariously referred to the “other family” during the inauguration. She also mentioned how her children were crying and slow moving as they were moving out of the home they’d grown up in for eight years.
“And then we had to meet the Trumps. That day was very emotional and then to sit at that inauguration and to look around at a crowd that was not reflective of the country, and I had to sit in that audience as one of the handfuls of people of color, all that I had to hold on to over those last 8 years, and it was a lot emotionally. By the time I got on the plane, it was a release of 8 years of trying to have to show up,” she said.
King asked Obama about looking back over her husband’s presidency, and how it felt to watch everything his administration built be dismantled.
“People ask me that question all the time and I can honestly say, our upset wasn’t over our legacy. We weren’t there to instill our legacy, but the upset it would cause the country. What saddens me is what it’s doing to the country as a whole. What we have to be really conscientious of is what kind of country we’re leaving for our children or grandchildren,” Obama said.
