Michelle Obama Takes a Subtle Jab at Trump and his Tweets: I Use Social Media Like a Grown-Up

The former first lady had a few words to say about the dangers of Twitter, which she confessed was still a mystery to her.

“I still haven’t figured it out because I’m old and I don’t understand most of social media,” she said during a health panel at Klick Health’s MUSE New York.

“I tweet, but I have a committee,” Obama continued. “I don’t just tweet off the top of my head, which I don’t encourage people to do — especially kids.”

She added, “How many kids do you know that the first thing that comes off the top of their head is the first thing they should express? You know? It’s like, ‘Take a minute. Talk to your crew before you put that (out there) and then spell check and check the grammar.’”

Obama told the audience, “I think kids do think telling it like it is and talking off the top of your head (is cool)… (but) that’s never been good. We weren’t raised like that. That’s rude. That’s what you call rude. But yes, I use social media. But I use it like a grown-up.”

1. I'm not sure I'd call the "subtle."

I miss both Obamas so much.
