Former First Lady Michelle Obama is celebrating her birthday today. But rather than enjoying a careful celebration, Mrs. Obama is being bombarded with thousands of angry tweets from Trump supporters.

It all started when her husband, former president Barack Obama, tweeted a series of photos with a birthday message to his wife.

The tweet said, “In every scene, you are my star, @MichelleObama! Happy birthday, baby!”

While the Obamas are used to receiving glowing receptions from fawning liberals, the opposite happened with this post. The furious comments from Trump supporters came fast and furious.

 

The overwhelming number of negative responses was probably a surprise to Michelle Obama, who late last year was named the most admired woman in the nation. For the second year in a row, Obama is Gallup’s Most Admired Woman. Mrs. Obama, who earned 10% of the write-in vote, beat out current First Lady Melania Trump who received 5% of the votes.
