Donald Trump replacing Barack after US election ‘still hurts’, says Michelle Obama – BBC News

Michelle Obama, former US first lady, has said the US electorate’s decision to elect Donald Trump as president following Barack Obama’s term in office "still hurts".

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, she said: "That’s that point in time when you have to ask yourself, was it worth it?"

"Did we make a dent? Did it matter? And when I’m in my darkest moment, my most irrational place, I could say, well, maybe not. Maybe we weren’t good enough.”

However, the former first lady said that seeing “more rationally”, she was able to think about “a whole world of young people who are thinking differently about themselves because of the work that we’ve done”.

Mrs Obama has revealed in her new book The Light We Carry that she struggles with negative thoughts about her appearance and her “fearful mind”, but that women need to “learn to love ourselves as we are”.
