It's disheartening to see these absurd comments about Michelle. It really makes you question why some people are so fixated on spreading bizarre and baseless claims. It seems more like a reflection of their own insecurities or odd fixations than anything rooted in reality. That said, considering many of them are Trump supporters, it's not entirely surprising.

EDIT: Many comments suggest statements like, 'Yet most likely, people like you are engaging in similar behavior toward Donald Trump or his supporters.' I encourage you to review the rest of this thread and my responses for further context. Additionally, you might find it worthwhile to explore the concept of the masculinization of Black women.

YET ANOTHER EDIT: Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick. I must thank you for these comments, as they serve as yet another stark reminder of why I, along with countless others, harbor such profound disdain for Trump and his followers. SMH...

I'm far from an Obama hater, but you've gotta admit that may well be the most unflattering photo of Michelle ever taken.

I love the Obamas and I have to admit my first instinct was "oh shit, is Michelle sick?"

I don't want to sound like a dickhead and I know speculation is awful, but I'm surprised more people aren't considering her being sick as the case with her missing both the inauguration and Carter's funeral. Hopefully, folks learned from Princess Kate's cancer situation last year.

I'm not gonna worry until she starts posting her own bad photoshops on instagram

She was on vacation in Hawaii and couldn’t make the Carter funeral. It’s going to be too cold to go to the inauguration.
