Michelle Obama and Donald Trump have not exactly hidden their disdain for one another. Here's what we know about their ongoing feud.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is in attendance at Trump’s inauguration, his wife, former second lady Karen, is not. Karen Pence snubbed the Trumps earlier this month at Carter’s funeral, where she ignored Melania Trump’s efforts to shake her hand.

Mrs. Obama also declined to attend the funeral of Jimmy Carter last week, which would have put her face-to-face with Mr. Trump.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will come together again next week for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, but one spouse, Michelle Obama, is sitting this one out.

The former first lady's choice to skip Trump's inauguration is said to be because she doesn't want to "plaster" on a smile for someone she believes is a threat to American democracy. However, Michelle's lack of explanation has sparked even more rumours she and her husband are heading towards divorce.

Michelle Obama ’s decision to skip President Donald Trump ’s inauguration isn’t sitting well with Kid Rock, who performed at the Jan. 20 event. Speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Thursday, the rock musician tore into the former first lady and implied her absence was disrespectful of Trump.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama's absence on the inauguration day of Donald Trump in January 2025 has incited extensive speculation and rumors. Reports reveal she failed to attend the ceremony but chose to honor Martin Luther King Jr.
