Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders weren't too subtle about disguising their feelings at Donald Trump's inauguration.
Michelle Obama was the only spouse absent from the service last week at Washington National Cathedral, where her husband and Trump were seated next to each other and chatted and laughed like old friends despite the history of political animosity between the Democratic former president and the returning Republican.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Former first lady Michelle Obama will skip the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, the second time in two weeks that she is not attending a gathering of former U.S. leaders and their spouses, but former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will be there.
A video of Barack Obama and George W. Bush laughing together during Donald Trump's inauguration has gained traction online.
A video showing Donald Trump and Barack Obama, two political rivals, engaging in a casual conversation at the state funeral of Jimmy Carter went viral last week.
The planned absence Monday follows another notable absence last week at the state funeral of former president Jimmy Carter.
The inauguration was the second gathering of U.S. presidents and their spouses that Michelle Obama has missed in recent weeks.
Former first lady Michelle Obama won’t attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, though former President Barack Obama will be there, the Obamas' office said in a statement. No reason was given.
Rather than wear MAGA red or bipartisan white, they dressed in the color of democracy. Bill, the 42nd U.S. president, was sharp in a dark navy suit, white shirt, and bright blue tie. Hillary coordinated in her own power suit, composed of a buttoned-up coat and tailored pants, in a deep royal blue. Her coat was adorned with a gold-and-blue pin.
Trump is racist for not having more blacks at his inauguration. But blacks who appeared at his inauguration are sellouts.
First Ladies' fashion choices at inauguration ceremonies have always made headlines. Melania Trump’s latest appearance in a wide-brimmed hat has sparked curiosity and continues this tradition. Notable past examples include Mary Todd Lincoln's floral sash and Michelle Obama's custom dresses.
