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 familys role in the administration.
The lack of announcements from the president-elects transition team is notable given that Melania Trump is not moving to Washington, D.C., right away and speculation abounds about the role Ivanka Trump will play in her fathers White House.
There has been no chief of staff, communications director or social secretary named for the East Wing. And the chief of staff and social secretary positions are particularly important, usually carrying the Assistant to the President title, which is the most senior designation for the White House staff.
In contrast, Michelle Obama filled those two positions shortly after her husband was elected president. She hired chief of staff Jackie Norris and social secretary Desiree Rogers in November of 2008.
But there has been no word on these matters from Team Trump, raising questions about how prepared the East Wing, which handles social events for the administration, will be on Day One of the Trump presidency.

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

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....:-)
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!
Please.
I am also worried. Trump and family have very little experience hosting social affairs.”
Of course, this is sarcasm.
Prayers continue for your wife.
No “czars” either. FAKE NEWS.
Fascinating!
-—and The Prez had Reggie Love on his staff.
Winner!
Or he was on Reggie’s staff...One or the other...
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.
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.
