Michelle Obama Mocks Melania Trump For Doing The Same Thing She Did In 2009Daily Caller, Dec 19, 2018, Hanna Bogorowski
Former first lady Michelle Obama appeared to cast fun at first lady Melania Trump again Tuesday on “The Tonight Show†over an exchange the two had on Inauguration Day when Trump handed Obama a baby blue Tiffany & Co. boxed gift.
Host Jimmy Fallon asked Obama what was going through her mind as she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, waved goodbye from Air Force One after the inauguration. “A lot was going on that day … that was a day,†she responded, adding an anecdote about how her daughters wanted to have a sleepover with friends the night before the busy day.
“So there was that and the Tiffany’s box … it was just a lot,†Obama said, as she made a face in apparent attempt to take a swipe at Trump and the exchange the media deemed “one of the biggest mysteries of the Trump administration,†and one that “befuddled†the Obamas.

“Well, there’s all this protocol. I mean, this is like a state visit, so they tell you that you’re going to do this, they’re going to stand here,†Obama recalled. “Never before do you get this gift, so I’m sort of like, ‘Okay, what am I supposed to do with this gift?â€
“I was like, what do you do with the box?†the former first lady added.
But after Obama brought up the viral gift exchange again on Tuesday with Fallon, CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett pointed out Obama did the same thing at the same event in 2009, when she and her husband greeted former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush on the steps of the White House.
