It’s crazy that this is the trigger to the MAGA right and the Scott Jennings of the world, but not the outright or coded racism that Trump has always trafficked in, or even that he skipped 2021. I applaud Ms Obama’s moral stance here (assuming she is OK and not in public eye for other reasons).

Trump the man is a jerk, an evil person. Trump the President represents something more than Trump the man. Ms. Obama is letting her emotions overrule the Constitution.

What exactly are her actions overruling the Constitution?

Is there a Constitutional requirement for former First Ladies to attend inauguration?

Second thing: what you ascribe to emotion could well be the natural consequence of her strong moral compass.

Last time I checked immigrant Melania Trump skipped President Biden’s inauguration in 2020. Next.

I was just thinking that at Carter’s funeral, while the men treated Trump as if he is a person, it was all the women who kept it real - Mrs Obama stayed home, Mrs Pence and VP Harris declined to greet, the others made no eye contact. Who run the world?
