Melania Trump Proves She’s Just As Bad As Her Husband, Refuses To Welcome Jill Biden

Melania Trump has shown, time and time again, that she really does not care about COVID-19 precautions, children detained at the U.S. border, and the irreversible harm done by her husband. (Do you?) It isn’t at all surprising, then, that she really does not care about helping Dr. Jill Biden transition into the White House either.

Following Donald Trump’s second impeachment and with five days left in the White House, Melania still hasn’t been in contact with Jill, according to CNN. She also hasn’t established an office or plan to continue her platform. But maybe that’s for the best: Melania’s most public initiative was one that promoted “safe and successful online habits,” and she’s married to a man who was recently banned from Twitter for using the internet to encourage a riot and attempted coup.

This should also come as no surprise, considering the fact that lame duck President Trump has done everything in his power to make Joe Biden’s presidential transition as difficult as possible. He refused to concede for two months, and he has also said that he won’t attend Biden’s inauguration on January 20. “He indicated that he wasn’t going to show up at the inauguration. One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on,” Biden said at an event in Delaware last week. “It’s a good thing, him not showing up. He has clearly demonstrated… he has exceeded even my worst notions about him. He’s been an embarrassment to the country.”

But as unprecedented as it is for Trump to refuse to welcome Biden into the White House, it’s equally historic that Melania is following suit. Former First Ladies Laura Bush and Michelle Obama remain friends today, and Obama has said that — even though it wasn’t “easy” — she discussed the role and her experiences with Melania back in 2016.

“Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive,” Michelle Obama wrote on Instagram. “But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside. So I welcomed Melania Trump into the White House and talked with her about my experience, answering every question she had — from the heightened scrutiny that comes with being First Lady to what it’s like to raise kids in the White House.”

But don’t worry, everyone: Melania has just been very busy as her husband’s impeachment heads to a Senate trial. At the time of the Capitol Hill attack, Melania was reportedly overseeing a photo shoot of White House rugs. CNN says that she has also spent her final days creating photo albums of her time as First Lady, which I sincerely hope are for her eyes only. I can think of very few things I’d rather see less than a physical manifestation of political moments from the past four years.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

There was a time when I thought she was a victim in all this - e.g, the initial refusal to move to WDC with the plausible excuse that she did not want to disrupt Barron's schooling. (I went to six different schools before I was 11, so I can sympathize.)

It may even be true in one sense - that although she's clearly a gold-digger (and yes, that's a sexist term but I think you know what I mean) she may have married a reasonably agreeable wealthy man before he turned into the total failed human (?) we now know him to be.

I think she's as fucked up as he is. I would not be surprised if the news - maybe a year from now - is that she has moved on.

Remember how the Obamas stayed in DC for two years so Sasha could finish high school with all the friendships and community she’d built there?

Barron’s going to Florida next Wednesday and into a new private school there. I never believed the ‘Barron’s school comes first’ crap, and it turns out she was using the time to renegotiate her contract for playing Mrs. Donald Trump when the job requirements changed so drastically. Bless her transactional heart.

The only Trump I have the smallest warm feeling for is Barron, because he’s still young enough he’s a victim of all the toxic family dynamic. Ask me again when he’s running for federal office in 20 years.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I'd bet that Trump told Melania he would take away all of her (maxed out) credit cards if she ever spoke to Jill Biden.

Wealthy? I guess. But reasonably agreeable? I can't think of time when he was anything but a self promoting asshole full of nothing but himself.

I think in this case the preferred descriptor is "sex worker."
GAH!
