Michelle Obama says she started writing her new book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times,” during the Trump years to work on something positive.
Former first lady Michelle Obama greets the crowd before a sit down interview with David Letterman during her hometown stop on tour for her new book “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times,” at The Chicago Theatre on Dec. 5, 2022.. She materializes, like a fond memory from a better time, suddenly in front of you again, barely aged. She has become the closest thing —Advertisement, sold 17 million copies worldwide and that book tour, four years ago, played sold-out arenas.
I suspect, unlike most of Monday night’s somewhat scripted conversation, no good can come from sidestepping or excusing one’s self before such a question. But considering the loud, electric welcome she received in her hometown, it was on a lot of minds. If Donald Trump can win a presidency on the grounds that, as his supporters often say, he’s authentic, Michelle Obama could win two terms.
She recoiled at the memory of being portrayed by media and politicians as “the angry Black woman.” Though, in a way, it foretold the Trump White House to follow. Trump — whom she referred to as “that president” — and the dark energy of his White House is like the churning, mostly unspoken subtext of the Obamas’ story now.
