There has long been speculation that Donald Trump will run for the post of US President again.

Recently, the signs have become clearer, which Michelle Obama also notes with concern.

The former US First Lady has expressed concern over a possible political comeback by Trump.

"The thought of it horrifies me deeply," she said in an interview with the magazine "Stern" and the broadcaster RTL published on Tuesday.

Trump promised a “very big announcement” on Tuesday.

It is widely expected that he will announce his renewed candidacy for the presidency.

Michelle Obama is the wife of former President Barack Obama, who ruled the United States from 2009 to 2017.

She had repeatedly criticized Republican Trump and denied him his suitability for the presidency.

Speaking to the BBC, the former first lady also said that Trump's 2016 election victory "still hurts."

When asked whether the US Democrats should go into a possible presidential campaign against Trump with the almost 80-year-old current incumbent Joe Biden in 2024, Michelle Obama said: »I will not comment on that.

I can tell you that one thing in particular is just as unhelpful in politics as it is in driving a car: when someone tries to steer from the back seat.«

She finds it "always amazing that while few people are qualified to lead a country, so many think they know how to do it better," Obama said.

“We're not trying to lecture our doctor or our auto mechanic.

I don't allow myself to second-guess the political decisions of others." When asked which question she likes least, Obama replied, "Are you going to run for President?

I hate it.” She has no ambitions of her own for the office.
