As much as 86 percent Americans believe that due to his age, Joe Biden should not hold power for another term. And Donald Trump’s victory in the American presidential election creates a threat to the entire world. Will Michelle Obama get involved in the campaign?
– I wonder where we are. Where are our hearts? What will happen in the next elections? I’m terrified of what might happen – responds the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, when asked by podcaster Jay Shetty why she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Michelle Obama: There are times ahead of us that require sacrifices
Jay Shetty is a former monk with timeless values. In his questions, he touches on man’s deepest scars, which is why his guests’ answers are interesting on so many levels.
Michelle Obama, who in the past has repeatedly denied that she intends to enter the world of politics, this time says that the time ahead requires sacrifices from everyone. And although Trump’s name is not mentioned in the conversation, the first lady suggests that different requirements are placed on him depending on the leader’s gender and skin color.
The first lady grew up with a sick father in a small house. She was deprived of financial stability, but surrounded by love, music and joy. – I had nothing. Or maybe I had everything? It depends on how my story is told – emphasizes Michelle Obama.
86 percent Americans believe that due to his age, Joe Biden should not hold power for another term
The interview sparked discussions about Michelle Obama’s possible participation in the upcoming elections. American media create a vision of what America would look like if Obama decided to run. According to the second scenario, the first lady would get involved in the campaign of Joe Biden, whose age raises doubts among voters.
As soon as the president makes the slightest mistake in a speech, he hears comments about old age. Despite the administration’s public release of Biden’s stellar research results, no stumble goes unnoticed. Current polls show limited enthusiasm for both Donald Trump and the current president. According to ABC News and Ipsos research, 86 percent Americans believe that the president should not rule for another term due to his age. Donald Trump therefore has a real chance of winning.
During a rally in South Carolina, Donald Trump stressed that Russia can do “whatever it wants” to any NATO country that does not meet defense spending requirements. These are the most irresponsible words of a former US president regarding international agreements.
Entering the world of politics will involve sacrifice for Michelle Obama
Obama in the book “Becoming. “My Story” recalled the hate she faced after actively participating in her husband’s campaign. The first lady is known for her excellent speaking skills and moving a crowd. We also note her sensitivity, balance and fidelity to values. Entering the world of politics involves sacrifice.
Will Taylor Swift’s vote influence the American presidential elections?
These compromises are already noticeable across the board. Readers and viewers are rightly upset about the overuse of photos of Taylor and Travis in political newspapers and CNN. Hillary Clinton’s post congratulating “Taylor’s boyfriend” also caused irritation. But this action is probably intended to motivate the couple to raise their voices for democracy.
Can the American media be impartial when democracy and the risk of World War III are at stake?
Many citizens are completely removed from politics under the influence of polarizing narratives.
Michelle and Barack Obama did not lock themselves in a fortress as a presidential couple
The first lady tries to connect – she says a lot about hope, openness to diversity, and the energy that comes from closeness. While she lived in the White House, she became friends with the parents of students at the school her daughters attended. She said that thanks to this experience, she and her husband did not lock themselves in a fortress, they created social bonds and verified their perspectives.
There is always power in Michelle Obama’s statements. This time, for the first time, they were dominated by fear of the consequences of the upcoming elections.
Obama emphasizes that excessive control kills our potential, but it is worth controlling the things that depend on us. – No one will take your story away from you. It belongs to you – says. But sometimes we are forced to go out into the world where we create history.
