(AP) -- Former first lady Mi-
chelle Obama finds some criticism
for President Donald Trump in her
new book, writing how she react-
ed in shock the night she learned
he would replace her husband in
the Oval Office and tried to “block
it all out.”
She also denounces Trump’s
“birther” campaign questioning
her husband’s citizenship, calling
it bigoted and dangerous, “delib-
erately meant to stir up the wing-
nuts and kooks.”
“What if someone with an un-
stable mind loaded a gun and
drove to Washington? What if that
person went looking for our girls?
Donald Trump, with his loud and
reckless innuendos, was putting
my family’s safety at risk. And for
this, I’d never forgive him.”
In her memoir “Becoming,” out
in bookstores this week, Obama
writes openly about everything
from growing up in Chicago to
confronting racism in public life
to her amazement at becoming
the country’s first black first lady.
She also reflects on early struggles
in her marriage to Barack Obama
as he began his political career
and was often away. She writes
that they met with a counselor “a
handful of times,” and she came
to realize that she was more “in
charge” of her happiness than she
had realized. “This was my pivot

point,” Obama explains. “My mo-
ment of self-arrest.”
Obama writes that she assumed
Trump was “grandstanding” when
he announced his presidential run
in 2015. She expresses disbelief
over how so many women would
choose a “misogynist” over Hil-
lary Clinton, “an exceptionally
qualified female candidate.” She
remembers how her body “buzzed
with fury” after seeing the infa-
mous “Access Hollywood” tape,
in which Trump brags about sex-
ually assaulting women.
She also accuses Trump of using
body language to “stalk” Clinton
during an election debate. She writes
of Trump following Clinton around
the stage, standing nearby and “try-
ing to diminish her presence.”
Trump’s message, according to
Obama, in words which appear in
the book in darkened print: “I can
hurt you and get away with it.”
The Associated Press pur-
chased an early copy of “Becom-
ing,” one of the most anticipated
political books in recent memory.
Obama is admired worldwide and
has offered few extensive com-
ments on her White House years.
And memoirs by former first la-
dies, including Clinton and Laura
Bush, are usually best-sellers.
Obama launches her promo-
tional tour Tuesday not at a book-
store, but at Chicago’s United
Center, where tens of thousands of
people have purchased tickets
