Now, the audience which attended Obama’s interview with Stephen Colbert cheered for the former first lady. However, the enthusiasm felt by the audience did not resonate with many others in the world.
Responses from Divorced Dads
Many divorced fathers personally took offense to Obama’s statements. These dads, therefore, expressed their thoughts via social media.
Some of the replies read as follows:
I admire @MichelleObama, but I really wish she wouldn’t use divorced dads as a metaphor for Trump. I hear some of them are quite awesome… https://t.co/lQihYgWL6F

@MichelleObama "That [weekend with divorced dad] feels like fun but then you get sick." As a divorced dad, I do my best to raise my son into a kind of man of which we all can be proud. Your comment doesn't help people see that I'm conscientious and competent to do a good job.
