Martha Washington, Dolly Madison, Mary Todd Lincoln and many other first ladies had no staff at all.

Why does the first lady need a staff? This is silly.

A tertiary level issue, at best.

But ... you have to have 500 personal assistants or the media won’t take you seriously or declare you to be totally awesome!

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

Some believe Michelle had a staff from the day he was born. :-p

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.

Hey Emily, you really think this is a problem. Shesh

She's not going to be living there until the kid finishes the school year.
The whole White House is supposed to be undergoing major renovations.
Melania probably has her own staff for what her current needs are.
So what's the rush?

"There has been no chief of staff, communications director or social secretary named for the East Wing [First Lady's staff]." OMG, what will we do? The world will crumble around us.
This is truly the end of civilization as we know it....

Because the social side of president is sooo important /s
I get the feeling the Trumps will be social enough and they already know how to hold events unlike Michelle who needed way more staff than other first ladies.

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

Actually, none of these employees are necessary because the First Lady is not an official position. If I were Mrs Trump I would stay in NYC and only come to DC for very special events. Living in a museum doesn’t appeal to everyone.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
They had personal maids, cleaning help, cooks. The Trumps will have cooks and cleaning staff, too. Surely nobody believes otherwise.
If Mrs. Trump rolls back the idea that the President’s wife and children are government personnel, public servants ... that will be great. I have no doubt that Mrs. Trump can be a dignified hostess. I hope she will drop the idea that the President’s wife should have a public Cause.

A large number of staff signifies that they think they are royalty and above the commoners.
