Melania Trump disengaged from her husband's second impeachment trial and bitter over Jill Biden's pu

Melania Trump disengaged from her husband's second impeachment trial and bitter over Jill Biden's publicity

(CNN)While former President Donald Trump watches his second impeachment trial unfold, Melania Trump spends most of her time post-White House relaxing at the spa and staying out of the fray.

Though she has been checking in on the trial, says one source familiar with her interest level, the former first lady has mentally all but left Washington behind, unlike her husband.

According to multiple people who spoke to CNN about Trump's life in the weeks since she departed the nation's capital, her daily schedule has nothing to do with politics, Congress, trials or stymied social media accounts.

"She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa (again) and has dinner with Donald on the patio," said one person familiar with Melania Trump's schedule at Mar-a-Lago, her home in Palm Beach, Florida. "Rinse and repeat. Every day."

...

But Trump's most fervent ire has come from watching Jill Biden kick off her East Wing tenure on nearly the antithesis of the path Trump took. Biden moved into the White House right away, for starters, and had a staff hired and fleshed out within two weeks of the inauguration. Trump, meanwhile, remained in New York for the first five months of the administration, ostensibly to let son Barron finish up the school year; she never had more than 12 people on her White House staff, at times there were as few as seven. (Jill Biden already has nearly a dozen full-time staff members and is expected to add more.)

Though Melania Trump reportedly left a note of welcome for Biden in the Executive Residence, she has still not spoken to her, eschewing a long-held tradition of first ladies.

Trump has also taken note of the publicity her successor has garnered.

Within weeks of becoming first lady, Biden has done an interview with People magazine, gracing the cover with her husband, the new President, and was featured in Parents magazine, where she discussed her empathy for families dealing with homeschooling their children during the pandemic. The Bidens also appeared in a televised message that aired prior to last Sunday's Super Bowl.

Jill Biden has held at least seven events or speaking engagements since becoming first lady, on topics including military families, cancer prevention, health care, community college education and support for teachers. Prior to leaving Washington on January 20, Melania Trump had not been seen publicly for three weeks and had not held a solo public event for six weeks -- a schedule not entirely uncommon for the former first lady, who opted to maintain a less robust calendar, her staff said, to provide more focus on being a wife and mother.

Trump basically has her under house arrest in that facility.........She can't go anywhere, or go shopping anytime like she could in NY.
I am sure, since Trump would have to pay for her travel now that he isn't president, she won't be allowed to waste their money taking any trips anywhere.

Trump could always make Maralago into a bordello with Melanoma as the madam and run a high price escort resort destination....

Joe works hard to stay in shape. It will serve him well the next 4 or 8 years.

I have a dad who is 78 and does the same, he's in better shape than most people in their 40s. He lifts weights, and will ride his bike 30-40 miles a day when the weather is OK. And when people think of a 78 year old on a bike, they think of a guy casually peddling a heavy roadster, not my dad, he has a lightweight mountain bike than he powers up hills with, if you couldn't see his face, you'd think it was someone in their 20s powering through anything on his bike.

The job of President is incredibly physically demanding. Both Obama and Biden looked up to the task. Trump was so out of shape both physically and mentally that by the end he was not doing the job at all anymore.

The American public wants to like the first family even if they don't like the president. If she would have acted like she wanted to be anything other than an adored manikin. RW media treated Michelle horribly, but if Melania acted other than a bored haughty empress most of us would have given her a pass on her past and we like first kids. She acted like she didn't want the "job" and didn't care what anyone thought of her.

exactly the same as when she was First Lady. She squandered her first months in that position dragging her feet, out the public eye, while leveraging her absence for a favorable pre-nup amendment, and now she is full of resentment that Dr. Jill, a kind-hearted and intelligent activist, is already being loved and lauded for her civic-mindedess, genuine warmth, and engagement with important issues in our society. Nobody liked that stiff mannequin and nobody misses her, and that is entirely her own fault.

Look at the job Joe Biden is doing. He's a blue collar guy who is decent and hardworking, and it shows. As to Dr. Biden, she will be an order of magnitude better as a First Lady than Melania.

I would think that'd get old after a few days.

Odd, it doesn't mention anything about spending time with her son or seeing friends.

Daily massages sound pretty good, and whatever the cucumber treatment is. Oh well, she wants to enjoy the good life while it lasts.

Hopefully it won't be too long until her husband loses all his real estate and remaining wealth and maybe face some prison time. She'll probably rat on him for a deal.

No, seriously- I thought about that too. After your nails are done, your massage is finished, and you have had a facial...what the hell else IS there?

She might've been a little more popular if she hadn't done shit like wear that effing jacket, turn the White House Christmas decorations into a low-budget horror show, turn the White House Easter Egg Roll into an all-white, rich kid's activity, or paving over Jackie's Rose Garden so now it looks like an Eastern European parking lot.

Fuck her. I hope she's miserable every coming day of her pathetic, empty life.

Wonder who she could have learned that from. Dr. Jill Biden is a class act who people want to hear about, respect, and see, and she's jealous of her. No one wants anything to do with her. Karma is hard for people like her.

Prior to leaving Washington on January 20, Melania Trump had not been seen publicly for three weeks and had not held a solo public event for six weeks -- a schedule not entirely uncommon for the former first lady, who opted to maintain a less robust calendar, her staff said, to provide more focus on being a wife and mother.


Yeah, right. Melania is focussing on being a wife and mother!

Sure.

But she's jealous of the publicity that Dr. Biden has received. Hey, Mel! That's part of the job of being First Lady, you fucking loser. Gosh, it's such a shame that you were never featured on the cover of Vogue. Do you know why? It's because you lack style, class and elegance.

Frankly, you're a dumb shit and I'm glad you're finally out of the White House. Go to your spa.

85. Melania will never understand that the difference between herself & Dr Jill is caring about others
Fri Feb 12, 2021, 01:47 PM
Feb 2021

Dr Jill cares about others, has real accomplishments to her name, and works hard. Those traits, more than her new title and more than her husband’s title, make her beloved, & make her of public interest (oh, say, to your average magazine editor) now that she has the title.

FLOTUS Michelle Obama had all that and glamor, too. The camera just loved her.

Of course Melania Trump is bitter with envy. She thought adulation on a royal scale came with the title, and it doesn’t. She still doesn’t understand — she never will — she is incapable of it. She is pathetic.

Elenore Roosevelt and Jackie Kennedy are probably the two most successful first ladies of the 20th century. Michelle is #1 for the 21st century -- although Laura Bush wasn't bad either.

forget "Be Best".. AKA "BE WORST" & the infamous "Stop Cyber Bullying" that was coming from Inside the WH

I read she was asked to try & stop the Domestic Terrorists via the Traitor & she refused.

I don't know if that's true or not but certainly believable of miss "I don't really care" infamy.

Oh yeah ETA.. Birther ***** can stuff herself with Sour Grapes.

Actually, these are from a 2018 machine-learning project featuring an artificial intelligence neural network that generated candy heart messages like "All Hover," "Bog Love," and "I Honker." Unfortunately, the system did not come up with "Be Best."

never came out of my mouth for four years, the I never uttered the terms "First" and "Lady" about this woman. The best I can say about that marriage from this great distance is that they seem to deserve each other. Maybe she'll divorce him and marry a Kuwaiti oil sheik. Maybe he'll go back to gullible porn stars.
