Silent Melania Trump plods toward end of her husband's tumultuous term

(CNN)Two days after his supporters rioted on Capitol Hill last week, President Donald Trump informed the world he would not be attending President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th," tweeted Trump via his official account, which no longer exists.

Many inside the White House were hearing the President's thoughts on this important and historic issue definitively for the first time -- including his wife, according to a senior White House staffer.

First lady Melania Trump has spent the last several weeks operating inside a gray area of what might happen, with many big decisions such as this one made at the whim of the man to whom she is married.

2. WHAT????!!!!

"The outgoing first lady hasn't done anything of significance as the weeks of her tenure come to a close."

SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE IN HER ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE, LET ALONE THE LAST 4 YEARS, OR THE LAST 4 WEEKS.

4. She never did.........

why start now?

As for Dr. Biden, Melania is so beneath her in every way .... that she doesn't know how to handle this.

11. Well...

... her kidneys look nice. She had them done. Her main thing was "Be Best" and she did spell those individual words correctly!

15. Classy to the end

Low classy, that is. From the two books about her I've read, it seems Melania does nothing for anyone except Melania and her immediate family - her kid, her parents, and maybe her sister. Apart from those four people, it's just about her: if she acts like a normal human being it's because she wants something or thinks you can further her ambitions. And lets not excuse her by saying she's from a former communist country: all societies have structures to let people help and support each other and act as decent human beings.

I do hope the cleaners who'll be prepping the White House for the Bidens take pictures of what she did to the family quarters and leak them.

16. I would like to see her deported with her family

for fraud in her citizenship applicarion process. I would also like to explore her role in planning the seditious conspiracy (if any).

Junior, Erik, and Ivanka should go to prison with Dad. Tiffany should learn to live the life of a normal twenty-something (ramen, roommates, waitressing job). Barron should go live with Mary Trump. Maybe Ron Reagan can help with the deprogramming.
