She probably already has staff to do stuff for her and they don’t talk.

Put another way the trumps are not worried about living the life of the rich and famous off the gummit tete..

They are already rich & famous & realize it doesn’t take the excesses of their predecesdors to maintain their accustomed life style.

So, the Wig Maker, the Eyebrow Plucker, the Boob Belt Buyer and the Royal Gardener positions are being eliminated?

Sure do. Both came out for obamacare and abortion -after- leaving office. They raised two wildly liberal daughters. They lied to us every time with the fake conservatism schtik.

Not real conservatives - true. But hardly “nutcases”

Rosalynn was just a nice lady, not a drunk, a doper, a seance having lady Macbeth, or an astrology believing nut, or an America hater like moochelle. Rosalynn was polite and attentive and pretty decent. And we dodged bullets with Tipper and Teresa Heinrich Kerry. Melania looks like the best in several decades, maybe of all time.

And Trump waived his 400K salary for $1.00 @ year.
With the FLOTUS savings, he’s walking the walk.

Obama and mooch were grifters a la the Clintons.

She just took noted and never spoke up. Say with non speaking attendees. Said as she visited groups and such, that she didn’t want to be misrepresent anything. That’s why she just took her own notes.

Yeah I remember hearing of Laura Bush’s true liberal feelings coming out after they left the White house. And Barbara was supposedly not a very nice woman.

After one of the Bush women (forget which), talked bad about Sarah Palin, she revealed her true lefty colors.

Man the Bushes really fooled me.

I thought that comparison had been debunked, with Laura Bush having had significantly more than 3 staffers.

Trump already had Jared and Ivanka meeting and lunching with the Chinese.

Meanwhile, Trump is worried about leaks and Kellyanne has just hired the wife of a major Ryan ally in congress?

And Melania certainly does not require 28 stylists like MO had.

Incredible, isn’t it? Twenty plus stylists and still looking that bad? Proves you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken sh**. Even if you’re a good cook.

Are they sure this isn’t just the federal hiring freeze that President Trump announced last month? I assume that covers the White House as well.

Well I’m glad the President is doing this but it was easily the most obvious excess. This and the vacations. Trump sleeps less and isn’t a vacation person so he says.
