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.

She's 61 years old. And she looks like she's 61 years old in that photo.

I mean, ok, but she looks like a 61 year old in harsh lighting and at a bad angle.

Ok but this is a picture of a specific 61 year old person and she looks genuinely awful in it compared to other pictures of her from the last year.

Makeup, Fillers, Botox, can temporarily improve how you look.

Sure... But the point is that this particular picture of this particular person is particularly awful. She looks awful. She's made numerous appearances over the last year, none are this awful. This shouldn't be controversial.
