The former first lady became an instant meme when she threw some stellar side-eye while welcoming President Donald Trump and Melania Trump to the White House on Inauguration Day. But Obama says that she wasn’t throwing shade at the Trumps — rather, she was trying to bottle her emotions. As she explained at the American Institute of Architects convention Thursday, the beginning of the inauguration marked the last moments that her teenage daughters, Malia and Sasha, would have in the White House, the home they’ve lived in for the past eight years. “So that moment of transition, right before the doors opened and we welcomed in the new family, our kids were leaving out the back door in tears, saying goodbye to people,” she told the audience in Orlando, Florida, according to Today.
