Recently Michelle Obama's speak publicly, her speeach made us wish she was back in the White House
more than ever before. The former first lady took the stage at
The Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago 2017 to discuss all things social
media and appeared to make a subtle jab at Donald Trump's
infamously unprofessional Twitter habits. But she did it in the
classiest, most artful way possible: without even uttering his name.
During
a sit-down chat with poet Elizabeth Alexander, Obama touched on the
importance of using social media platforms in a cautious and educated
manner. "This whole 'tell it like it is' business, that's nonsense," she
explained.
And
then came the true zinger. "You just don't say what's on your mind. You
don't tweet every thought," she said. "Most of your first initial
thoughts are not worthy of the light of day." Although the former FLOTUS
was quick to clarify that she wasn't "talking about anybody in
particular," the crowd's reaction certainly said it all, as many let out
audible chuckles and rounds of applause, surmising that she was
referring to the current POTUS. On top of that, Alexander
semi-sarcastically added, "Hah, we are so not talking about anybody in particular."
Obama
went on to make one last social-media-related suggestion to the crowd:
"You need to think and spell it right and have good grammar too." Though
she insisted her comments were aimed at all social media users, we can
only assume they were a thinly veiled dig at Trump, a man whose
vocabulary includes made-up terms like "covfefe." Watch the video clip below to see what else the newly crowned Queen of Subtle Shade had to say at the Summit.
