On Sunday, former first lady Michelle Obama sat down for an interview in London with TV host Stephen Colbert.
While the interview centered around the promotion of Obama’s new memoir, Becoming, the former first lady made headlines for comparing President Trump to a “divorced dad.”
Reviewing Obama’s Commentary
While Obama did not specifically name President Trump, her statements were intentionally transparent. She compared the United States of America to a “teenager” coming from a “broken family.” Obama then went on to state that teenagers often spend enjoyable time with divorced dads only to get sick later.
Her exact articulation on this matter reads as follows:
“We’re changing all over the place, and we come from a broken family. We’re a teenager and we’re a little unsettled; having good parents is tough. Sometimes you spend weekends with divorced dad and that feels like it’s fun but then you get sick. That’s what America’s going through. We’re kind of living with divorced dad right now.”
