Obama The Martyr Claims Trump Is Ruining His Marriage

(Just another reason to love Trump, AFAIC.)

Ex-President Obama claims he has such a patriotic duty to protect the populace from President Trump he’s doing so at the peril of losing his marriage.
In an interview with The New Yorker the former president says his wife is mad at him for paying more attention to Trump than to her.

“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”
At the beginning of Trump’s first term Obama stayed largely silent about his successor’s performance, maintaining a protocol that modern-day presidents have after their terms ended, according to Fox News.
“During Trump’s second administration, Obama has broken those norms, arguably becoming the current president’s most high-profile critic, a fact Obama acknowledged in his interview with The New Yorker,” Fox says.
But Obama claimed that Trump’s “recklessness” forced his hand, The New Yorker wrote, prompting him to weigh in on a wide swath of Trump’s actions from pulling the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords to dismantling Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement, the Affordable Care Act.
His opposition to Trump has spurred Obama to delve back into politics “more than I would have preferred,” he told the magazine.
“Obama’s revelation is not the first time he’s publicly addressed strife in his marriage,” Fox says. “In 2025, he admitted he had been ‘digging myself out of the hole I found myself in with Michelle,’ after she did not join him during the January funeral for former President Jimmy Carter or for Trump’s second inauguration.
A Newsmax anchor wondered aloud Wednesday whether what Obama is really up to is signaling a possible divorce and using Trump as his excuse.
