In an interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning, former first lady Michelle Obama said she still believes that going low wont work in the endno matter what President Trumps first two years in office have shown.
Whats the alternative? Obama asked King, while doing the media rounds to publicize her new memoir, Becoming. Going low means youre operating from your place of emotion. It doesnt necessarily mean youre operating from a place of results. More often than not, you dont get results when you go low. You just get your attitude out.
Hinting more specifically at President Trump, she continued: When youre in the White House and you have that responsibility where every word matters, youre often thinkingor at least Barack and I often thoughtIs what were about to say going to help? Is it going to move the needle forward? Or is it just going to make us feel vindicated in the moment? You learn that vindication in the moment is so short-term.
But its more practical than that, she argued.
Going high doesnt mean you dont feel and have feelings and that you dont express feelings, that you dont acknowledge hurt or pain or anger, Obama added. Thats not what going high is. Its How do you put that feeling in the world and how do you do that responsibly?
