Former and future first lady Melania Trump has criticized Barack and Michelle Obama for making her and Donald 's first move into the White House "challenging," accusing the former first couple of "withholding" information that would have smoothed the transition between administrations.

Melania Trump may have stepped up the apparent feud that exists between the Trump family and Barack and Michelle Obama. The incoming first lady is apparently blaming the couple for the Trump administration’s lack of preparation the first time they were in the White House.

Melania Trump has suggested the Obama administration withheld information during the transfer of power to her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, in 2016. She expects everything to go smoother

The planned absence Monday follows another notable absence last week at the state funeral of former president Jimmy Carter.

Sources close to the Obamas have shared that Michelle can’t “pretend” to celebrate someone she feels is a threat to democracy.
