Michelle Obama had two words to describe her feelings after President Trump was inaugurated: “Bye, Felicia.”
The former first lady appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” Tuesday and was shown a photo of her and her husband boarding a plane at Joint Base Andrews shortly after Trump took the oath of office in January 2017.
“Bye, Felicia,” Obama said in reaction.
The phrase comes from the 1995 movie “Friday” and is used to dismiss a person.
“Is that what was going through your mind?” Fallon asked.
“A lot was going on that day,” Obama said. “That was a day.”
In her recently released memoir, Becoming, Obama wrote that she “stopped even trying to smile” at Trump’s inauguration, and said Trump is a “misogynist.”
Obama also wrote in the book that she’d never be able to forgive Trump for questioning the legitimacy of her husband’s birth certificate.
“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls?” she wrote. “Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him.”
