Barack Obama's Mother's Day Note Dismisses Michelle Divorce Rumors
Barack Obama recently took to his X (formerly Twitter) to share a post celebrating Mother's Day. The former president shared a black and white photo of his wife, Michelle, with their two daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. He captioned the post, 'Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures!' Furthermore, he expressed gratitude towards his wife for making their lives better. '@MichelleObama, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you,' he added. The politician also shared the same post on his Instagram account.
Besides the Mother's Day wish, Barack Obama's post can be taken as a way to shut down divorce rumors with Michelle. Acknowledging his wife, the father of two implied that all is well between the couple. Previously, he shared glimpses of his life with his wife on social media, including one on Valentine's Day, thus showing that the couple is still going strong in their 'thirty-two years together.'
Barack and Michelle Obama's divorce rumors have been making the rounds for quite some time now. The two sparked a separation speculation when Michelle wasn't seen with her husband at two important events. These were former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration in January.
However, the attorney cleared the air on the 'Work in Progress' podcast by Sophia Bush. She mentioned her absences were just a personal choice and nothing else. The former first lady also addressed the divorce buzz, explaining, 'This year, people couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself. They had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.'

CNBC Daily Open: Trump's tariff letters set the heart racing, but don't seem to promise anything new
Paramours wanting to court each other have, through the decades, moved on from courtly love letters to raunchy Instagram DMs. But some form of that epistolary tradition remains today in the stately realm of politics. U.S. President Donald Trump revealed Monday that he had written letters to the leaders of 12 countries, informing them of new tariff rates due to begin on Aug. 1. Upon first reading, the letter is enough to send the heart racing. It contains bold emotional declarations ("You will never be disappointed with The United States of America"), big double-digit numbers (between 25% and 40%, depending on the recipient) and a veiled threat should desire not be reciprocated ("These tariffs may be modified … depending on our relationship with your Country"). But if we take a step back, it appears that he letters' purpose might not be that different from the table of "reciprocal" tariffs Trump hoisted up at the White House's Rose Garden in April. The letters threaten stiff tariffs that will kick in on a certain date (or as certain as any deadline from the White House can be), unless countries negotiate with the U.S. for a trade deal. Even the tariff numbers aren't that far from what was initially revealed. In other words, the letters might just be a restaging of April's events. "If you go through the details, I don't even know if anybody understands the difference between what was announced today, what was there previously, and if it will actually be implemented, and which companies it actually impacts," Trivariate Research CEO Adam Parker said Monday on CNBC's "Closing Bell." Trump on Sunday, in response to whether the deadline for tariffs will be changing, said, "They're going to be tariffs. The tariffs are going to be the tariffs." In the same way, a tariff is a tariff is a tariff, whether in a racy letter, stated on a big chart, or even sent in an Instagram DM. Steep tariffs on 14 countries. The White House sent letters to leaders of several countries announcing blanket tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% starting Aug. 1. Notably, U.S. imports from Japan and South Korea face a 25% duty.
