(New York, New York) – Former President Barack Obama is opening up about how President Trump’s return to the political spotlight has affected his personal life, saying the constant pull back into politics has created tension with Michelle Obama.
Obama has remained one of the Democratic Party’s most important voices even after leaving the White House. But Trump’s comeback has kept him tied to the political fight, with Democrats repeatedly turning to him to help rally voters and push back against the president.
That continued involvement appears to be taking a toll at home. Obama suggested Michelle has not been thrilled with how much Trump-era politics has pulled him back into the public arena, after years of trying to build a quieter post-presidency.
For Republicans, the comment is likely to land as proof that Trump still dominates the political world — even among his biggest opponents. For Democrats, it shows the pressure Obama still feels to stay involved as his party fights to stop Trump’s agenda.
