The 54-year-old also criticises US President Donald Trump, writing that she can "never forgive" him for "putting my family’s safety at risk" over his championing of the "birther" theory that her husband was not born in the US and thus was not a legitimate president of the US.
54岁的奥巴马夫人还批评美国总统唐纳德·特朗普,她说她“永远不会原谅”他,因为他鼓吹她的丈夫并不是出生于美国、因而不是合法的美国总统的“出生地”理论,“让我家人的安全处于危险之中”。
