Michelle Obama shared some candid reflections Monday on the current state of the White House, calling out President Donald Trump for his refusal to concede the election and take part in a peaceful transition of power to President-Elect Joe Biden .

The former first lady shared her poignant thoughts on Instagram along with a snapshot of herself and President Barack Obama on Trumps Inauguration Day in 2017.

This week, Ive been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago. [Hillary] Clinton had just been dealt a tough loss by a far closer margin than the one weve seen this year. I was hurt and disappointed but the votes had been counted and Donald Trump had won. The American people had spoken, she began.

Obama explained that one of the great responsibilities of the presidency is to listen when the American people speak and recalled that she and her husband had instructed their staffs to run a respectful, seamless transition of power one of the hallmarks of American democracy.

We invited the folks from the president-elects team into our offices and prepared detailed memos for them, offering what wed learned over the past eight years, she wrote.
