The not-so-quiet misery of Melania Trump
Melania Trump didn’t give AF about being first lady. Nor did she give AF if people thought she didn’t give AF about being first lady.
Basically, she had zero F’s to give then, and she has even fewer F’s to give today. That’s according to Kate Andersen Brower, bestselling author of First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies.In a new interview with She Knows, Brower shares some of the insight she gleaned from researching the first ladies of the modern era, including the most divisive and disliked one of the bunch.“I always felt that [Melania] didn’t want to be the first lady and she was unapologetic about it,” Brower said. “She wasn’t interested in doing what we expected of her.” Ya think?!?She didn’t move into the White House until six months after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, and then she never did anything once she finally got there. (Aside from rip out Jackie O’s rose garden and rebuild that tennis pavilion that nobody ever uses.)Like, she literally wore a jacket with the words “I really don’t care, do u?” printed on the back while going to pose for a photo opp at the Southern border.When she was FLOTUS, Melania Trump destroyed Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden because she didn't want to leave any doubt that she's as big an asshole as her husband.Then as soon as Trump left office, Melania retreated even further from the spotlight and now spends her days purportedly hiding inside the gilded walls of Mar-a-Lago, getting spa treatments, hawking NFTs, and avoiding pretty much everyone, including her husband.Brower says Melania “lowered the bar” for what’s expected of a first lady, as well as what’s expected of a political spouse.
