Michelle Obama: Melania Trump never reached out to me for advice

Michelle Obama said first lady Melania Trump has never reached out to her for advice, even after Obama extended an invitation as her predecessor Laura Bush did.
Obama told ABC News in an interview that aired Sunday that Trump has not asked for any help since the Obamas left the White House in January 2017.
“No, she hasn’t,†Obama said when asked if Trump reached out to her at all.
Michelle Obama hosted Melania Trump at the White House for tea after Election Day 2016 when then-President Barack Obama and his successor met for the first time.
President Trump tweeted after the meeting that “Melania liked Mrs. O a lot!â€
Months later, on Inauguration Day, Melania Trump brought the outgoing first lady a present wrapped in a Tiffany & Company blue box as the couples greeted each other outside the north portico of the White House. It was revealed more than a year later that the gift was a picture frame.
"Mrs. Trump is a strong and independent woman who has been navigating her role as First Lady in her own way. When she needs advice on any issue, she seeks it from her professional team within the White House," Trump's communications director Stephanie Grisham told the Washington Examiner.
Despite the silence from the current East Wing inhabitant, Obama said she will reserve any judgment of her successor, at least publicly.
“You know, one of the things you learn as a former, it's, like, I don't judge what a current is doing, you know? So I'd prefer not to, you know, speak on what she's doing versus what I did because I think every first lady approaches this job differently,†Obama said.
She is not extending the same courtesy to the president. In her forthcoming memoir, “Becoming,†Obama wrote that she could not fake happiness during Trump’s inauguration.
“Someone from Barack's administration might have said that the optics there were bad, that what the public saw didn't reflect the President's reality or ideals, but in this case, maybe it did," Obama said in audio of the book. "Realizing it, I made my own optic adjustment. I stopped even trying to smile."

Michelle Obama:
"Melania Trump never reached out to me for advice..."
Datz because -- unlike you -- she is a smart lady!
-
Oh surely Melania has asked Michelle for advice on how to get those amazingly toned arms. *****rollingeyes*****
-
"Melania Trump never reached out to me for advice..."
Why would Melania do that in the first place? Certainly not for fashion advice!
-
I think Mrs Trump already knew "the Boob Belt" was out as out of fashion as the Obama Presidency.

Moochelle must be jet-setting so much, the oxygen is too thin to reach the brain.

Geez. She looks like she was wearing a condom stuffed full of walnuts.
-
Only ABC News would think that anyone cares what this fat pig Mooch has to say or if First Ladies hang out. Eff you ABC.
-
When did "reach out" become the touchy-feely substitute for "contact?" I hate it.
-
She has no need to ask the Wookie anything, there is is over eight years of video documentation on how not to be the FLOTUS.
-
Why would Melania want to? She’s ahead of the learning curve. Hell, Mooch hadn’t even had any cosmetic surgery done pre-FLOTUS, let alone regular manis, pedis, and brow waxes.

I never asked Michelle Obama for advice.
So what.
If or when I need advice, I will ask someone who has a positive track record.
Not some tag along.
Evidently Michelle has tested more positive than her whats his name husband.
That is why she is now parading around on TV.

@Slide Rule

She is promoting her worthless book, plus I guess she has presidential aspirations.
But it's nauseating watching the media fawn over her. First, it was the big interview with Robin Roberts on ABC yesterday, but then the other outlets had to say something about her on their newcasts too. Yesterday was a good day to turn off the tv and do something else.
The woman is racist and a grifter. Don't these news people realize that while they are worshiping her, she is spitting on them and taking them for big bucks for the privilege of being in the same room as her?
-
Those costumes she's wearing on the cover of the new Elle magazine are just hideous. What's that thing in the middle, body armor?

Can't touch that.

@Applewood
No, because the people doing the fawning think they’re the “good†ones, that Michelle recognizes it and approves. Also that our kind deserve to be spat on.
But damn, a little subtlety would be nice.

Somebody poke her between the shoulders with a ruler. She still hasn’t lost that gorilla posture stance.

Gee,I wonder why?
I'm betting she never reached out to Bubbette! for charm tips,either.
-
Maybe it's because one of them used to be an international fashion model that was used to being on public display and talking with famous or important people,and the other one used to be a man that had a AA job with a law firm in Chicago?

Who is Bubbette? I can’t keep up with the cutesy pet nicknames for politicians.

Obviously some woman associated with or married to someone known as "Bubba". I'll let you figure it out from here.

Agree. There is a video showing the bio parents of Obama's "kids". The older daughter, looks just like her dad and the youngest, like her mom.

What, you've never seen an industrial grade girdle before? The one she's modeling is from the Cooper Roadmaster line, it out performed Both the Bridgestone and Michelin models.
As you can see here it was specially tested to stand up to Michelle's special needs.
