“House of Cards” star Robin Wright — who plays a quietly Machiavellian First Lady in the hit Netflix series — said Thursday that Michelle Obama should be the next US president.

The actress told reporters at the Cannes film festival that Donald Trump “has stolen all our ideas” for the next series of the drama about a villainous head of state who stops at nothing to stay in the White House.


Wright, a prominent activist, said a leader like Michelle Obama could galvanise liberals to get through the Trump years.

“We gotta see the hope somewhere, even if it is out there in the future,” she said at a “Women in Motion” talk in Cannes.

“Everyone is talking around the (water) cooler saying, ‘We have four more years of this! What are we going to do?’”

She added: “In 2022 I want Michelle Obama there. She would be a great female president. It does take time to break the mould and change the psychology. Maybe it’s going to take a little more time for Michelle to get that message through.”
