Trump is running this like the Trump organization, a small, tight, criminal, family enterprise with as few people involved as possible.https://www.politicalflare.com/2020/06/melania-trump-leads-fema-briefing-on-hurricane-preparedness-and-people-have-questions/
The first spouse, whether woman or man, has no official duties nor title in the United States. There are a million good policy reasons to keep it that way. If one absolutely must put a family member in government, make it official and appoint a spouse to a specific position for specific purposes. The spouse is not supposed to simply take on duties that belong to the presidency under any circumstances.
This tweet below should leave us all breathless and afraid.
Trump wants a government where his daughter is a senior adviser who speaks in official meetings, his son-in-law is perhaps the second most powerful person in the White House and runs programs, his kids work as campaign officials, with their wives and girlfriends getting paid, and now Trumps idiot, spoiled brat, unsmiling, miserable, wife, is being briefed by FEMA on hurricane preparedness. In other words, Trump is running this like the Trump organization, a small, tight, criminal, family enterprise with as few people involved as possible.
Like everything Trump, the event didnt happen until she advertised it with self-satisfied tweets.

At yesterdays @fema briefing w/ @FEMA_Pete & @RedCross I was updated on #hurricane preparedness resources & tools vital to the safety of the American people. Emergency preparedness can best be achieved when every level of gov't is engaged, along w/ communities & families.

This is about his attempt, with the help of Putin, to destroy our democracy and put his family in power.

So many people have blown the whistle on him, he no longer trusts outsiders. Nearly everyone is getting shut out.
It's a double edged sword, because, with no close allies in government, he's easier to take down.

...110k & counting, the out of control cops, the riots caused by agitators...
Ignore the lack of preparedness for the pandemic.
This time, we're really, really ready!
No wonder she married into the family of dolts.
