She’s never been fake… She’s always been very deliberate about where and how she shows up,” a source told Page Six.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will come together again next week for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, but one spouse, Michelle Obama, is sitting this one out.

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