Melanie picked out furniture for the White House. Before she moved in, Trump "replaced her choices."

[Miles Archer]

Mrs. Trump, a former fashion model who prefers clean, modern lines, had chosen some furniture for the White House residence in the months before she joined her husband in Washington. Yet in her absence, President Trump — whose tastes veer toward the gilded, triumphal style of Louis XIV — replaced her choices with several pieces he liked better. One of two people familiar with the episode cited it as an example of Mr. Trump’s tendency not to relent on even the smallest requests from his wife.

6. That article took a beating on Twitter

I deliberately refrained from the customary 4 paragraphs because, as many said in the Twitter responses, she's still a Birther, and it doesn't really matter to me if her life at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is less than idyllic.

Haberman got a few "Why are you WRITING this crap" responses, and it's a question I'd like answered myself.

I didn't even bother to read it. I stumbled across the furniture thing via a tweet and thought it was amusing...and a further insight into Trump's belief that his opinion is the only one that matters...so I wanted to share it.

The only "question" I'd like answered regarding Melania is "When will she (and her husband) no longer reside in the White House?"

8. I noticed that but was too lazy to look for one that wasn't

[ornotna]

20. Could you at least correct the spelling of her name in the title

[Control-Z]

23. Unless it's been changed already to the one

I saw, Melanie is the mistaken spelling by, I believe it was, her dear husband in a fairly recent tweet. Hence, spelling her name as "Melanie" isn't necessarily a mistake by the poster but is standard mocking.

7. Quite a fluff piece filled with sugar syrup to help swallow.

[Miles Archer]

9. Yes...as I said above, that's why I only posted the paragraph about the furniture.

Not interested in "understanding" Melania at all.

18. Considering Her Choices for the WH Christmas Decoration Last Year

It doesn't seem to matter who chose what furniture.

Most of the pics are copyrighted, so here is a google page with a bunch of them:

19. ".... gilded, triumphal style....?

More like grotesque televangelist style.

[ProudLib72]

22. And she has "broken in" each of those pieces of furniture with SS men

That's her revenge. It's true, and remember you heard it here first, folks!

Only so many hours in the day, tons of serious problems for the prez to deal with, but he knows which things are important to spend his time doing.
