REAL reason Michelle Obama is skipping Trump's inauguration, revealed

Michelle Obama is certainly giving her public relations team all they can handle lately!

First, they were forced to explain why Michelle Obama thought that vacationing in Hawaii was more important than attending the funeral of Jimmy Carter, a liberal who paved the way for her far-left husband.

Now, Mrs. Obama is catching heat for her decision to skip the swearing-in of America's 47th president, Donald J. Trump.

According to the Daily Mail, "Michelle Obama is skipping Donald Trump's inauguration because she refuses to 'be fake' about her loyalties -- in stark contrast to her husband's recent efforts to 'unify.'"

A source close to Michelle Obama said, "She's never been fake and she's never been phony. She's always been very deliberate about where and how she shows up."

"She showed up reluctantly for the election. They were united, but she doesn't have to unify around [Trump]. She doesn't have to say anything," the source continued. "Her absence speaks volumes."

Her husband, Barack Obama, WILL be at the event, however.

"Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration," his office said in a statement.

Do you think that Trump deserves more respect, and Michelle Obama should be at the inauguration? Or is the president-elect reaping what he sowed after he and Melania refused to show up for Joe Biden's big day?
