Still, Michelle’s absences have fueled “incessant rumors that Michelle is fed up with the political circus and pretending everything is fine with Barack all the time,” a source said.

“I was told she was furious to see her husband arguing with Trump at Carter’s funeral,” the source added.

A source who worked with the couple also admitted: ‘They are not pretending to have this Camelot relationship. They are not trying to present that they are a magical couple.

Some have even speculated that the couple could be breaking up.

But even at their worst, Barack explained to The Breakfast Club that they never let their arguments get too ugly and always “respected” each other.

And he made it clear that even when they were fighting, he never considered divorce.

“We were pretty good, even when things got tough, we never lost basic respect for the other person,” he shared.

‘We never thought that person was a bad person. We never said things that made it seem like you completely disrespected me.

“It was more like, ‘I love you, Barack, but this is driving me crazy,’ or ‘I respect you, but…” I think that’s what kept us going because we never doubted each other’s intentions.

‘Michelle is an extraordinary woman. Even if it drives me crazy sometimes, I never thought there was someone I’d rather be with.’
