First lady Melania Trump announced Friday that she has selected the director of rooms at Trump International Hotel to serve as White House chief usher.
Timothy Harleth presently oversees more than 110 employees at the Trump hotel in Washington, D.C., the White House said Friday.
"I am so pleased that Timothy will be joining our team," Melania Trump said in a statement. "He was selected because of his impressive work history and management skills. My husband and I know he will be successful in this vital role within the White House."
As chief usher, Harleth will oversee the more than 90 household staffers who service the White House. Harleth will coordinate everyone from chefs to florists in his new role.
"I am so honored at the opportunity to serve the First Family in their new home," Harleth said Friday. "I look forward to applying my experience with hospitality, leadership, and political protocol in order to ensure the First Family's needs are met, while also protecting and preserving the rich history of the White House. I am excited to work alongside the accomplished and professional staff who are already in place."
The Trump administration dismissed Angella Reid, the previous chief usher, in early May.

Why do I feel like I missed something on this thread ?
::Why do I feel like I missed something on this thread ?::
I’m with you but we’re probably lucky to have missed it....
Oh, no! He’s being ‘demoted’ from 110 staffers down to 90, LOL!
Cannot WAIT to see Christmas at the White House this year! :)
That was a rude way to bring race into it. And not helpful for Trump supporters to appear racist. It's enough to say they fired an Obama holdover and hired someone they trust. Period.
Oh I can’t wait for ‘Merry Christmas’ again...lol...and can you just imagine what Our House is going to look like!!!
I hope we get lots of pictures!!!
It’s going to be elegant And most importantly Christ will be at the center!
Will he be in charge of housekeeping? Whomever had the position before failed at their job. The place was filthy. It was so filthy, it showed up even in the pictures of the Trumps and the zeros meeting in January. Also, during one of the first times the Trump admin was holding a presser, the press door was black around the handle. FILTHY.
I agree.
I hope to watch HGTV's White House Christmas special this year. I couldn't stomach watching it with MO as FLOTUS.
Well said.
words escape me
What on earth?
Is that an Indian dance?
Actually I was hoping they wouldn’t decorate at all for Christmas. It’s usually hideous going back to the Bush days.
I am glad to see the Trump’s bring class and dignity back to the White House.
