Michele Obama, the former first lady, said in an interview broadcast Sunday that she "had stopped trying to smile" at the inauguration of President Trump and had been asked in his new book why so many women had rejected "an exceptionally qualified candidate and instead chose a misogynist, as their president."

Obama has spoken with ABC News in a large interview.

She remembered in her book, "Becoming", watching her husband give way to Trump on January 20, 2017.

She wrote in her book that "the vibrant diversity of the two previous inaugurations was gone … A Barack administration official could have said that the optics were bad – that what the public saw did not reflect not the reality or ideals of the president, but in this case maybe yes, realizing that, I made my own optical adjustment, I even stopped trying to smile. "

In his memoir, "Becoming," Obama would mock the so-called "birther" conspiracy as a barely veiled racism.

"All this was crazy and petty, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia were barely hidden," reads an excerpt, according to the report. "But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir the wing nuts and nuts."

She allegedly accused the president of endangering the safety of her family.

"And if someone with an unstable mind loaded a firearm into Washington, what if that person went out looking for our girls?" Donald Trump, with his noisy and reckless insinuations, put security at risk. from my family, never forgive him. "

As he was leaving for Paris on Friday, Trump chose not to meet the former first lady by telling reporters, "Oh, I guess she's writing a book." She received a lot of money to write a book and they always insisted that you discuss with controversy. Trump has changed the subject: his predecessor, Barack Obama, has said, "I will never forgive him" for making the country "very unsafe."
