ROTFLMAO ....

Maybe she just wants to be a mom and wife and leave the job of potus to her husband.

Incoming first lady Melania Trump has yet to publicly name her senior White House staff, raising questions about whether the positions have been filled amid uncertainty about the Trump family’s role in the administration.

Maybe she'll decide not to have any 'staff' at all. Wouldn't that be refreshing? There could just be the White House staff that handles communication for the whole family.

She'll probably end up hiring some folks, but I'm hoping it will be pared down from Michelle Obama's staff.

They had personal maids, cleaning help, cooks. The Trumps will have cooks and cleaning staff, too. Surely nobody believes otherwise.

Look for the left to attempt impeachment over the issue of 'White House Slavery'.

It’s my opinion that all First Spouses, regardless of political persuasion or gender should be seen and not heard, and not seen all that often either.

There’s no role in the Constitution for the First Spouse and we don’t vote for them either.

I’m sick of the media trying to pretend that the President and his family are some kind of royalty, though at least that sycophancy will end with President Trump since the media universally hates him so viciously.

But she has pretty arms....:-)

No surprise, Chewbacca inflated the East Wing staff many times the size of previous staffs, all at taxpayer expense, of course. A social secretary and one or two assistants are all that’s needed.

I can recall the First Sasquatch had a personal staff of 23.
Not knowing what year that was it may be educational to learn what her personal staff budget and expenses were over the last 8 years.

Movin' On Up Ain't Cheap!

[publius911]

Go away!

Please.

[angry elephant]

I am also worried. Trump and family have very little experience hosting social affairs.”

Of course, this is sarcasm.

[kalee]

Prayers continue for your wife.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

No “czars” either. FAKE NEWS.

[Tax-chick]

Fascinating!

[BTCM]

-—and The Prez had Reggie Love on his staff.

[mad_as_he$$]

Winner!

[JBW1949]

Or he was on Reggie’s staff...One or the other...

[GailA]

She probably already has a private Secretary. Doesn’t take long to fill any of those slots once SS has cleared them, many can come out of the Military already cleared and ready to start on day 1.

Bring back Linda Tripp.

Brats, burgers and beef franks for dinners. Taco Tuesdays. Let them eat like regular folks. For once.

Actually, if you review the menu for the Trump Café at the Trump Tower, you will find that Donald Trump's tastes are very middle America. Meat loaf, burgers, chicken, pasta, lettuce and tomato salad, et cetera. Supposedly, meatloaf and diet coke are among his favorite consumables.
