Washington (CNN)Traditionally, it's the role of the first lady to accompany spouses of visiting foreign leaders around Washington. That often means a good deal of showcasing local museums, schools, monuments and gardens. It's essentially playing tour guide, but it's part of the role of representing the Administration and playing gracious hostess to very VIP out of town guests.
Melania Trump appears to be breaking with this particular tradition. On two pre-scheduled Washington stops Friday, one to Gallaudet University and the other to attend a National Cherry Blossom Festival committee meeting at the Japanese embassy, the first lady of Japan, Akie Abe, was alone, without Mrs. Trump to guide her.

Just more Fake News.
CNN is going under within the next 2 years.
The correct headline should be:
Crap Not News is so butthurt that PIAPS is not the first lesbian POTUS.
We voted for Donald Trump to be president, not Melania or Barron. As hateful as the media has been to the entire Trump family (even making Eric stop his generous support of St. Jude’s Hospital for Children), we should not expect them to put up with such nasty treatment any more than they absolutely must. They are giving up more than any presidential family has given up in an attempt to save this nation. That should be more than enough service rendered.
What is Ivanka wearing?
I thought Ivanka was taking on the hostess role until Melania moves to DC in the summer?
One can wish and it would be great
The presidential bedwarmer has no duties and no role. All of them, all the way back to Patricia Nixon have been mental cases, with the exception of Rosalyn Carter.
You guys are dropping the ball....PICS!!! Anytime the First Lady is mentioned you MUST POST PICS that’s rule numero uno!!...:). Us ladies want to see the fashion pick of the day!
>>> All of them, all the way back to Patricia Nixon have been mental cases, with the exception of Rosalyn Carter. <<<
Carry on mate.... What a great idea for a book.....

Amen. You are so right.
Gasp! The American people are being cheated because they’re not getting two for one! /sarcasm
This is one of the truest forms of fake news. Beautiful example.
Well Melania exited Air Force One with them all and is hosting them in her home in Miralago this weekend. Does that count?
Our First Lady is in harmony — I feel it.
No kidding, if Mrs Abe has been to DC multiple times already, it seems much more intimate to host them at Mar-a-lago where they can control the media and probably show them some place the Abes have never been.
Why let Rosalyn Carter off the hook? She always seemed like she had a big chip on her shoulder to me. A bitter person. Why wouldn’t Laura Bush be the exception? You might disagree with some of her views, but she never seemed unstable to me. I’d say she was profoundly normal. You’re right on the rest of them though.
I couldn’t agree with you more. He’s only been in office for 3 weeks and I know that I wouldn’t take this much garbage from anyone.

Barbara Bush was very normal as well.
I agree about Carter — she was always pissed off.
