Michelle Obama’s attempt to captivate audiences with a new podcast has fallen embarrassingly flat, despite a relentless media push from liberal outlets. Teaming up with her brother, Craig Robinson, she launched *IMO*, but the numbers don’t lie—nobody seems to care. Despite endless TV appearances and breathless coverage from the mainstream media, the podcast has only managed to scrape together 17,000 YouTube subscribers and a dismal 75,000 views across three episodes. For someone the media once called “one of the most influential women in America,” this flop speaks volumes.
Trump campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz didn’t hold back in his assessment of the podcast’s failure. “Michelle Obama debuted her new podcast a couple of days ago, with the full weight of the mainstream media machine hyping it up across every major outlet and network—free promotion that most creators could only dream of. Yet, despite this massive push, she’s scraped together a measly 17k subscribers, and her three episodes have limped to a pathetic 74k views combined.”
Bruesewitz went further, declaring that the Obama mystique is officially over. “As someone with deep expertise in this space, I can say with authority: these numbers aren’t just unimpressive—they’re an outright disaster. This is just more proof that the Obamas’ grip on the American public has completely evaporated. They wield no influence, no sway, nothing. Trump didn’t just beat them—he obliterated their relevance.”
Social media users echoed the sentiment, with one user bluntly stating, “This proves what we’ve known all along: the media and political elites can’t control the narrative anymore. Trump obliterated their influence, and America has moved on. The Obamas’ relevance died with their grip on power.”
Journalist Tom Lucre reported that Michelle Obama’s team has been “unconditionally disappointed” with the podcast’s lackluster launch. Even after aggressive promotion across social media and mainstream networks, an early episode struggled to reach 8,500 views. For someone who once occupied the White House and enjoyed years of fawning media coverage, this is a stunning failure.
Some commentators offered a blunt take on why Michelle’s podcast is failing. “When the only thing you’ve ever accomplished in your life was marrying someone and badmouthing your country, it might be surprising to learn that once that time has passed, not even your brain-dead supporters care to hear you pontificate anymore,” one user remarked. Another noted, “The only thing Michelle Obama ever talks about is how terrible America is and how unfair life is for her. Who wants to listen to that?”
Another social media user made an interesting observation: “I remember when people said Michelle Obama was going to run for president, but I knew she would not. She doesn’t want to work—she took in enough money and she’s set for life. A podcast is easy money, but I don’t think people are interested in her anymore. Michelle Obama is still a racist and a hater of America.”
The mainstream media may want to keep pushing the Obama narrative, but the American people have clearly moved on. Michelle Obama’s podcast failure is just the latest sign that the left’s golden age of media control is crumbling before their eyes.
