Michelle Obama: Melania Trump hasn’t asked for my help

Former first lady Michelle Obama says she took a page out of Laura Bush’s playbook and reached out to Melania Trump to offer advice on the years ahead — and the current FLOTUS ghosted her.

“Has (Trump) reached out?” asked ABC anchor Robin Roberts during a sit-down with Obama on Sunday.

“No,” said Obama. “No, she hasn’t.”

Trump’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed the lack of correspondence in a statement to CNN on Monday.

“Mrs. Trump is a strong and independent woman who has been navigating her role as First Lady in her own way,” the statement said. “When she needs advice on any issue, she seeks it from her professional team within the White House.”

Obama — who was on ABC promoting her new memoir, “Becoming” — said she had gotten the idea to reach out to Trump from Bush, who had given her the same offer for help when she became first lady.

“I’m a phone call away,” Obama recalled her saying.

Because Michael Moore said Michelle is “beloved” and would be a great person to run against Trump in 2020. From nothing to First Lady to has-been First Lady to President. Now that’s a career path she really deserves. Between “gardening” and pumping iron to keep those upper arms in sleeveless dresses, I am surprised she found time to write a book and campaign.

Why does the media insist on giving us daily updates one what Michelle Obama said or did? So over it already.

To try and recoup some of the money they spent on WRITING Michelle's book and paying her such a huge advance.

What possible “help” could the mooch give her?

Same advice mooch probably got from Laura Bush.

Don't go in the pool with Joe Biden.

Help with what?

· Make up & beauty tips? Nope
· Fashion? Nope
· Graceful hostess behavior? Nope
· Voice lessons? Nope
· Foreign languages? Nope
· Table manners? Nope
· Home design & decoration? Nope
· Wig & hair weave tips? None needed
· ?
· ?

So what’s on offer from Michael that FLOTUS Trump does’t already know having been raised properly and being the wife of a billionaire moving gracefully across broad social strata?

Thanks but no thanks.

Did Mrs. Obama ever ask Laura Bush for help or advice? If she didn’t then why should she be surprised that Mrs. Trump hasn’t.

I thought for sure Melania would have called about a Halloween costume.

book title “Becoming” nastier, more divisive, more stuck on herself, more greedy...whole lot of not good things MO is becoming. If she would go away and do some good things quietly that would be wonderful, but she needs attention, spotlight.

Melania hasn’t reached out because she already knows
NOT to wear a boob belt.

If she asked for her advice, it would only be to do the opposite.

Shut up Mike. You are ugly and stupid. She is a beautiful lady and a gracious sweet woman.

They are hoping she will run in 2020. You and I think it’s ludicrous, but there are a lot of Dems who want her to do so.

Bike Mike could teach her how to discreetly scratch her balls in an evening gown, I suppose.
