Michelle Obama Uses ‘Bad Parent’ Metaphor to Describe Donald Trump’s Presidency

*Michelle Obama is back at doing one of the things she does best… make headlines. And this time she’s slamming Donald Trump, again — comparing him to the “bad parent” in the good-cop, bad-cop parenting style. 

The former first lady also said her husband, former President Barack Obama, is the “good parent” in this scenario, the Hill reported.

As reported by inquisitr.comMichelle was a guest at a women’s leadership conference held in Boston on Thursday when she talked about a wide range of topics, including the administrations of Trump and Obama.

She reportedly said the Obama administration “was like having the ‘good parent’ at home.” Michelle said her husband was like the responsible parent who told children to “eat carrots and go to bed on time.”

“And now we have the other parent,” Obama said, alluding to Trump. “We thought it’d feel fun – maybe it feels fun for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow rules.”

Michelle also made it clear that she is not interested in running for president of the United States. Obama and Oprah Winfrey are two of the most empowering women in the world who are being connected to the 2020 presidential elections. 

“The reason why I don’t want to run for president – and I can’t speak for Oprah – but my sense is that, first of all, you have to want the job,” Obama said.

“And you just can’t say, ‘Well you’re a woman, run,” she added. “We just can’t find the women we like and ask them to do it, because there are millions of women who are inclined and do have the passion for politics.”

Obama’s “good parent, bad parent” analogy didn’t sit well with some Trump supporters. Fox News host Greg Gutfield said on “The Five” that what Michelle Obama said was wrong, adding that Trump was more of a “rambunctious child who we love” and not the “irresponsible” parent Obama was pertaining to.

Gutfield also questioned what Mrs. Obama meant when she said: “We can eat candy all day.”

He asked if the candy is a metaphor for the supposed good things that Trump has brought to the table.

“Is it jobs? Is it the decimation of ISIS? That’s pretty good candy. Is it progress in North Korea? That’s amazing candy,” Gutfield said. “We’ll take our candy!”
