In New Memoir, Michelle Obama Slams Trump's Sexism and Bigotry
--------------------------------------------------------------

Former first lady Michelle Obama's highly anticipated memoir is released
today. In it, Michelle Obama recounts how Trump's "birther" conspiracy
against her husband and his "underlying bigotry and xenophobia"
endangered her family. Michelle Obama also takes aim at Trump's sexism
in the book and talks about the challenges of being the first black
first lady of the United States. The Obamas reportedly received $65
million for a joint book deal last year, of which Michelle Obama's
"Becoming" is the first release.
