Melania Trump wants Sean Spicer gone after president returns from overseas trip

Melania Trump wants Sean Spicer gone after president returns from overseas trip



In a profile on the reading habits of First Lady Melania Trump it is revealed that wife of President Donald Trump maintains a strict eye on how her husband is portrayed in the media and believes that some of his problems with the press are the fault of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

According to Politico, friends and associates of Melania Trump claim she is much like her husband in that she spends long hours watching cable television to see how he is portrayed.

“She’s very private and she’s very smart. Anyone who thinks she’s a mannequin doesn’t get it,” explained former Trump associate Roger Stone who has sometimes battled with the president. “She has excellent instincts into who is trying to exploit their influence with him.”

Like her husband, Melania Trump is highly concerned about the leaks coming from the White House that she feels are damaging his presidency and enveloping his administration in constant chaos. She believes Spicer, who is often combative with the press, is a big part of the problem.

a rat's ass except how it might affect Baron or Barron or her monthly stipend.

I don't think she's stupid. She's smart enough to be somewhat multilingual. Being smart doesn't mean she cares about anything beyond her view.

all of trump's problems are because of Spicer. Has nothing to do with his policy making and opening his trap about laws he's broken.

Had he lost they would be going through a divorce right now. She doesn't give 2 shits about anything that's going on in the WH. Also, I'll believe she's going to live in the WH with the boy when I see it. Yes, I know they've picked a school for him and all that but I'm just not buying it. It's impossible to be too cynical with this bunch.

But Spicer being combative with the press is only a thing because Trump gives the man shit to work with. No wonder he stinks.

And never wanted this from the getgo.

She doesn't want to be involved anymore than she has to be. That much is clear.

if that is what she watches all day. If she watches SNL and how they make fun of Spicer could be why she wants him out.

I think she is biding her time until she can get out. For all we know she might have made a private deal to stay with husband while he is president and is being paid well for staying. I bet she has it in writing a contract.

“She has excellent instincts into who is trying to exploit their influence with him.”

Of course she does because she wants to manipulate what she can and so does Donald. It seems like a very manipulative relationship. They are both manipulating each other for their own purposes and anyone that interferes with that is considered an enemy.

I have been watching very carefully the body language between Trump and his wife, and it doesn't look very promising for a future happy marriage. Most of their kisses are "air kisses" and she tends to squirm a bit when he's near her. It's all a sham and personally I don't think that she really cares now how her husband is portrayed. My guess is, she'll be seeking a divorce when his presidency ends.
