Michelle Obama recently launched a new podcast with her older brother, Craig Robinson. Despite a massive press blitz, with major appearances on network television, the podcast has failed to gather an audience. According to YouTube, Michelle’s podcast has gathered a pathetic 17,000 subscribers and less than 75,000 views across three episodes.
Many conservative commentators chimed in on her poor performance. Alex Breusewitz, who worked with the Trump campaign, says that this indicates that the allure of the Obama family has been shattered. He says Trump has made the political dynasty irrelevant.
Alex Breusewitz, a Trump campaign advisor, posted a lengthy takedown of Obama’s podcast. He said, “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.”
He continued to explain what this means for the former first lady. He stated, “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.”
Other social media users echoed his sentiments. One user wrote that these disappointing results “[Prove] 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 allegedly been ‘unconditionally disappointed’ with the launch of her new podcast “IMO” with her brother Craig Robinson. The podcast has aired with just 8.5k views on YouTube despite promotion on every social media and countless press releases and press runs.”
One commenter replied, “When the only thing you’ve ever accomplished in your life was marrying someone and bad mouth your country it might be surprising to learn after that time is passed not even your brain dead supporters care to hear you pontificate any more.” Another said, “And the only thing @MichelleObama will ever talk about is complaining about America and real Americans who want a safe country. She will likely base her show on racism and inequality?”

Another reply indicated what this could mean for Michelle Obama’s political career, “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.”
