Barack Obama Reveals How Trump Caused 'Tension' in His Marriage to Wife Michelle Since Leaving Office

Obama says Trump’s attacks have kept him in politics and created tension at home as Michelle wants him to spend more time with family.

  • On Monday, former President Barack Obama told The New Yorker that his continued political activism against President Donald Trump has caused "genuine tension" with his wife, Michelle Obama.
  • Obama admitted that Trump's "recklessness" forced him back into the political arena "more than I would have preferred," despite concerns about his personal life.
  • Michelle Obama "wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her," the former president said, noting his public engagements frustrate her.
  • Rejecting comparisons to Jon Stewart, Obama told the magazine he prefers to act as a leader rather than "just ripping what was happening" weekly.
  • As 2026 midterms approach, Obama continues urging the Democratic Party to invest in younger candidates while preparing for the Barack Obama Presidential Center's opening.
