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

Maybe Trump isn’t planning on doing that much entertaining at the WH.

She may use commercial planners for events. She knows all of the good ones.

Maybe because we have a first lady who can actually handle it herself.

No staff?

Not going to be an issue for me nor anyone else I know.

IIRC Mrs Obama’s first social secretary was a freaking disaster. She had some connection with Michelle from Chicago, I believe. Totally incompetent, yet arrogant - had to be shoved out.

The First Lady’s “job” is to be the President’s wife. How much staff is needed to do that?

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

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 family’s role in the administration.

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.

She'll probably end up hiring some folks, but I'm hoping it will be pared down from Michelle Obama's staff.

It’s my opinion that all First Spouses, regardless of political persuasion or gender should be seen and not heard, and not seen all that often either.

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.

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.
