And Michelle still never learned how to walk like a lady.

“Why does the first lady need a staff? This is silly.”
Both Laura Bush and Michelle Obama had 18 regular staff members. I think Michelle also had a slew of stylists.

The Reagans had a lot more money than they let on. You don’t get to be a union president in Hollywood without being a major player and they made some smart investments over the years.

Maybe because we have a first lady who can actually handle it herself.
No staff?
Not going to be an issue for me nor anyone else I know.

I am also worried. Trump and family have very little experience hosting social affairs. Really.
Do you think she might not know how to host a diner party or greet officials?

As a general rule she has needed a social secretary but nothing more.
Michelle Obama had a staff of 22 IIRC

Why does the first lady need a staff? To plant and tend a garden?

The Trumps host plenty of charity dinners and events.

IIRC Mrs Obama’s first social secretary was a freaking disaster. She had some connection with Michelle from Chicago, I believe. Totally incompetent, yet arrogant - had to be shoved out.

Melania picked her personal cause months ago...bullying...no, I’m not kidding.

The First Lady’s “job” is to be the President’s wife. How much staff is needed to do that?

Trump is going to be blamed by the MSM for raising the unemployment rate in Washington, DC.

That’s an honor. Reduce all Federal Employees by 50% and let them see what their wrong headed policies feel like, when the shoe is on the other foot, and they are the ones unemployed.

I’m confident that he will, and he will restore the lustre of a White House event. Right now, I imagine he would consider it putting the cart before the horse.

They all get billed for private meals. Only working meals are comped. I’m sure they get a good rate.
