Trump's inauguration - how it was. Bush in a bag, Trump's forelock, burning urn and other important moments of the inauguration Barack Obama attended the inauguration of Donald Trump
No wonder they say: everything secret always becomes clear. Invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Michelle Obama gave an interview for the first time in over a year. The wife of the former US president told why she reacted so strangely to the gift given to her by Melania Trump on her first day in the White House.
Recall that the video from the inauguration of Donald Trump caused a strong reaction on the network. And all because of the fact that the wife of the new US president behaved rather unusually. Before the start of the official part of the event, she presented the former hostess of the White House with a large blue box from Tiffany & Co.
Michelle's reaction was so eloquent that Internet users suspected something was wrong. A lot of speculation has been voiced, up to the theory that Melania put a message in the box asking for help!
protocol as it is
Mrs. Obama told Ellen DeGeneres that what was actually in the gift box was a pretty frame, and not a note at all, or something unpleasant. She readily explained her strange reaction to the unexpected gift:
“You see what’s the matter, when you are the first lady, you don’t belong to yourself. There are certain rules. And what happened that day was an official event at the highest level. You are told how to behave, where to stand and what other participants in the event will do ... Before, no one came to the White House with gifts, so there were no rules about this. I looked at the box and hesitated a little, and only then I thought, well, okay!
