Details emerge of Melania's misery as FLOTUS
The New York Post, America's oldest continuously circulating newspaper ^ | February 15, 2017 | Laura Italiano

Melania Trump is secretly miserable as first lady, a new report claims.

Private, self-conscious, and smarting from some harsh, even mocking press, Melania is “struggling with the realities of her new role and the scrutiny that comes with it,” US Weekly says in its Feb. 27 cover story, citing family sources.

“This life wasn’t her dream. It was Donald’s,” a Trump family friend, stylist Phillip Bloch, told the magazine.

“Truthfully, it’s a lot to cope with.”

Since Inauguration Day, Melania has spent almost all her time hiding inside the “gilded cage” of the family’s lavish, $100 million Trump Tower penthouse on Fifth Avenue — where treasured son Barron, 10, has a whole floor to himself.

The Democrats’ hostility to her 10 YO is no doubt painful.

The Democrat Thug Party is a nasty bunch.

Exactly. No one in their right mind would want to be First Lady these days.

“Story pushes the BS idea that she is staying in NY to purposely avoid the WH.”


So what if she is.

Bess Truman spent as much time as she could in Missouri——and couldn’t hop on a plane as Melania can.

It was a very long train ride for Bess.

Fake news.

They make it all up.

And they whine Trump doesn’t acknowledge them at pressers.

Serves ‘em right.

Ivanka stepping in is not a good idea. There have already been so many incest innuendos that would just add more. Ivanka needs to remain a daughter. Melania is a very intelligent, capable woman who will adjust and rise above these trash talking so-called journalists.

Americans (by that I mean Patriots) need to show support for the First Family.

Actually, I believe this. I don’t think that Melania - who I think is basically non-political - relishes the idea of being in the media’s crosshairs, of being the object of so much hate.

next month she’ll be on the cover of a checkout mag becoming anorexic and filing for divorce to marry Alex Baldwin.

Lol, you are so right.

I think the job took a big turn for the worse when Jackie Kennedy had to grin and grit her way through 3 1/2 years of her husband’s brazen philandering. Never recovered.

Maybe, if Melania started a garden on the White House lawn, and have photo ops of her fingers dirty, with a bunch of D.C. black kids bussed in to surround her. Maybe that would make her happy!

Since Trump has friends in the Inquirer maybe they could do some front page stories on Trumps enemies. They all have those ugly mugs that that will turn all of America against them. Think Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Elijah Cummings etc. etc. etc. They are all photogenic in a negative sort of way. They do all look like villains, don’t they?

Bess Truman fulfilled the most important role of First Lady - she took care of Ike. Moreover she had a formula for keeping the press at bay. When after continuous pleading, Bess finally agreed to hold a news conference. To every reporters’ questions, she replied, “I don’t have the answer to that.” The result - the press left her alone.

I don’t think the First Lady should be required to do anything.

No one ever elected a FLOTUS and more importantly, there's no Constitutional requirement or basis to provide the spouse of a President with any position, title or authority to act on behalf of the Executive Branch.

Melania can damned well do as she pleases. She's a private citizen unbound by any oath of office and the media can piss off.

Kinda gives new meaning to “reaching across the aisle” doesn’t it?
