Melania Trump welcomed teachers to a White House ceremony called ‘weird,’ even a ‘disgrace’
San Jose Mercury ^ | May 1, 2017 | Martha Ross

Melania Trump may be the hesitant First Lady who has yet to move to the White House but she stepped up her number of official appearances in April.

Instead of a large gathering and inspiring speeches, White House staff merely herded the 55 teachers into the Oval Office and had them stand around the president.


Looking at the accompanying pictures it looks like everyone is having a good time.

And this was different from being herded into the Obola White House and photographed standing around Obola, his minions, or Hillary and her sycophants?

No prejudices here, right?

This was obviously a short clip as these people were taken into the oval office for photos.

I am sure there was far more to the event than these pics.

Melania looks beautiful and this reporter is an ugly pig.

Didn’t she hire someone who has been around a long time in the DC crowd to help her organize stuff like this? I think the person is married to a relative of a previous famous DC staffer.

She isn’t going to know previous protocol, etc.

Nothing Trump can do is acceptable to the liberal elite.

[Meanwhile, the teachers’ relatives fared much worse, participants told the Post. Many had traveled at their own expense to attend the ceremony but found themselves confined to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next door to the White House, the Post said. A state school superintendent had flown to Washington to support the winner of his state, but he wasn’t allowed into the Oval Office either.]

To have teachers’ relatives and school personnel gripe because they were not allowed in the Oval Office is ‘over the top.’ The OVAL OFFICE is the private office of the leader of the United States. PRESIDENT TRUMP has given the public more access to his office than any other President I have seen in my lifetime.

That's not true. He handed them their spending budget on a gold platter, and all the while Pence is trying to convince Trump's base (aka y'all and me) that it was a feat of tactical brilliance.

That doesn't mean Trump will get credit for it from the liberal elite, of course, only that that are willing to accept it, for now at least.

So when a group of TEACHERS get invited to the oval office, they think everyone they bring to Washington can just cram in? The complainers should have stayed home if they didn’t like it. And anyone wonders if the media is biased? Article is obvious teacher union propaganda.

Well,...do you have a story that tells something different about the day?

Please post it.

There should be something outlining the activities.

The union teacher got a hold of a local paper and together they demonstrated why teachers unions and newspapers suck. They wrote a jaded story meant to screw the President and his wife.

I would need a whole lot of new information to buy that it is tactical brilliance, just what does he mean by that?

To paraphrase My Cousin Vinny, “you travel to Washington DC but “only” get into the Eisenhower Executive Building on the White House grounds, Oh My God, what a Fing nightmare!”

The smiles tell us all we need to know.

Trump has always been a great host...and this gathering looks like he did it again.

Looks like they were having a blast. Good for them. Good for President Trump and Melania.

Trump knows at a good education and hard work will do for you.

Most gorgeous and most graceful.
