In 2023, she spoke about what it was like to be in the audience as Trump was sworn in.
"To sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display, there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage," Obama said. "There was no reflection of the broader sense of America. Many people took pictures of me and they're like, you weren't in a good mood. No, I was not."

Of course for all we know, she might have had some kind of medical procedure but we did see her at the DNC convention and she was very reluctant to go to that while the pundits and gasbags continually made an issue demanding where she was.
She had been treated like shit, called all kinds of obscene names - literally from day one in 2008 - and people expect black women to keep taking that.
Fuck no.
