Michelle Obama Just Reappeared… and This Was Not the Comeback She Hoped For

Michelle Obama has been off the radar for a while. She ditched Barry at the Carter funeral, skipped Trump’s inauguration, and fueled even more divorce rumors in the process. People wondered where she disappeared to—turns out, she was busy making a podcast with her brother—the brother most of us didn’t even know existed, because Michelle keeps her personal life locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

But her big return to the spotlight didn’t go as planned. Instead of a smash hit, her podcast flopped—hard. After hours on YouTube, it barely scraped together 20K views.

Looks like Michelle lost her mojo.

Jesse Watters covered the podcast flop on his highly rated show—something Michelle Obama knows nothing about. He also pointed out her constant negativity and how she never misses a chance to take a shot at her husband. Let’s be honest—Michelle gives off some serious angry, dominant, naggy wife vibes.

Michelle is SPILLING the family secrets. @MichelleObama is telling America how Barry gets on her nerves, how he doesn’t get people, and it turns out Michelle wasn’t the only one who had problems with @BarackObama when he was in office… pic.twitter.com/ZwmVpkcSPF

Even the left-leaning Daily Beast had to admit—Michelle Obama and her brother just aren’t pulling in the views. They also quoted Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy, who made a great point—this kind of podcast might have worked fifteen years ago, but not today.
