Former President Obama on Sunday marked Mother’s Day by sharing a tribute to the “perfect role model,” former First Lady Michelle Obama.
And as usual, the former president could teach our current “president” a few lessons.
“Happy Mother’s Day to the most caring, brilliant, funny, and grounded woman I know—a perfect role model not just for our daughters, but so many others,” Obama said in a tweet accompanied by a picture of Michelle with their daughters Malia and Sasha.

Michelle Obama also marked the holiday by paying homage to her mother, Marian Robinson, with a post on Twitter.
“From an early age, my mom saw that I had a flame inside me and she never tempered it,” Michelle Obama said of her mom, who died in 1991. ” Mom, thank you for kindling that fire within me, and for your example as a mother and a grandmother to our girls.
“We would never be who we are today without you.”

Trump’s Mother’s Day message was, of course, all about Trump [7].
Melania Trump’s message was…a pink rose?

UPDATE:
Trump finally tweeted about Mother’s Day and it was…lackluster…since it wasn’t about him, Trump doesn’t put in any effort!
