Trump is staffing up in anticipation of her second year as first lady of the
United States. On Thursday, the first lady announced she has hired a director of
operations, a policy director and a communications coordinator.

Melania Trump was ‘furious’ after Stormy Daniels reports ...
Sources close to the couple
told the New York Times that Melania was “blindsided” by the reports of her
husband’s supposed cover-up — which included $130,000 in hush money, paid out to
Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election.
[Melania's] spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, blasted the affair allegations,
saying, “The laundry list of salacious & flat-out false reporting about Mrs.
Trump by tabloid publications & TV shows has seeped into ‘main stream media’
reporting…She is focused on her family & role as FLOTUS — not the unrealistic
scenarios being peddled daily by the fake news.”

March 5: President Trump Jokes Wife Melania
Will Be 'Next to Leave' White House During Press Dinner
At
the end of what has been a chaotic and unexpected week in
Donald Trump’s administration,
the president offered up his biggest surprise yet when he seemingly laughed at
his own troubles during the Gridiron dinner on Saturday night.
“So many people have been leaving the White House,” Trump continued,
according to CNN. “It’s actually been really exciting and invigorating
’cause you want new thought. So I like turnover. I like chaos. It really is
good.”
“Now the question everyone keeps asking is, ‘Who is going to be the next to
leave? Steve Miller or Melania?’ ” he added, reported the outlet.
But the president then seemed to backtrack on this remark by sincerely adding
that his wife is “actually having a great time” in Washington, D.C., according
to the pool reports.

March 17: First Lady Melania Trump's prenup
agreement with President Donald Trump could be the center of his financial loss
fears, claims GOP strategist Rick Wilson in new heated video
Melania’s prenup with Trump could hold more sway [than that of second Trump wife
Marla Maples], according to top marriage lawyers who spoke with Town and
Country, since Melania is now the first lady. The lawyers wondered aloud
the specific items in the prenup – such as a clause for how adultery would be
handled – and whether or not Melania’s prenup was renegotiated during Trump’s
presidential campaign or after he became President Trump.

husband separating immigrant children from their parents is not a 'Be Best'
policy
The first lady earlier this month
announced “Be Best,” her platform on children’s issues including well-being
and social media use.
She has faced ridicule from Trump critics for her focus on anti-bullying and
cyberbullying, with many pointing to her husband’s name-calling and Twitter
attacks directed at his political opponents.

June 17: Kathy Griffin unleashes
profanity-laced tirade at Melania Trump: 'F--- you, Melanie'
The first lady had weighed in earlier in the day. “Mrs. Trump hates to see
children separated from their families & hopes both sides of the aisle can
finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform. She believes we
need to be a country that follows all laws but also a country that governs
w/heart,” her office told Fox News.
Griffin
then tweeted: “F--- you, Melanie. You know damn well your husband can end
this immediately...you feckless complicit piece of s---.”

June 21: Melania Trump has made a surprise
visit to the US-Mexico border a day after the president retreated on immigration
policy and
signed an executive order to end his policy of family separations amid
enormous political pressure.
The first lady was taking part in briefings and attending a tour of a “nonprofit
social services center for children who have entered the United States illegally
and a customs and border patrol processing center”, according to a statement
from her office.
Sitting at a table with officials at a center in McAllen, Texas, she said: “How
can I help these families reunite with their children as quickly as possible?”

June 22: Why didn't someone stop Melania
Trump from wearing that 'I really don't care' jacket?
President's wife known for being 'decisive' and selecting clothing without
assistance from aides
A day after first lady
Melania Trump
stirred controversy by wearing a jacket that read “I really don’t care, do u?”
on a trip to visit a children’s shelter on the US-Mexico border, people are
still scratching their heads.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/melania-trump-jacket-immigrant-children-border-dont-care-first-lady-child-separation-a8412971.html
June 22: Twitter users continue to call out
the mother of one’s jacket as tone
deaf but Trump insisted
that his wife was using the fashion spotlight to hit back at the “fake news”
media.
“‘I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to
the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly
no longer cares!” the president tweeted on Thursday.
However, Melania’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, had the opposite
explanation.
“It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message,” Grisham said in a statement.
“After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose
to focus on her wardrobe (Much like her
high heels last year).”
https://people.com/politics/melania-trump-speaks-out-after-i-really-dont-care-jacket-scandal/
June 23: Here's the thing: The jacket
decisions made by the first lady aren't as big or as important a story as the
crisis along the border. But that doesn't mean it's not a story. It is. She is
the first lady of the United States. What she says, does and, yes, wears,
matters. Disagree? Ask yourself whether the media would have (and should have)
covered Michelle Obama wearing the exact same jacket. The answer is: Of
course.

criticism

December 13:
Melania Trump's favorable rating has fallen by double-digits,
according to a new CNN poll. The first lady, whose favorability stood at 54%
in October, has slipped to 43% in just two months.
Additionally, 36% of those polled found her unfavorable, a 6-point increase
since October.
The 11-point drop-off is notable for Trump, who has for most of 2018 maintained
positive polling numbers, staying in the high-40s to high-50s.
These new numbers reflect Trump maintains her strongest support from older,
white, male Republicans and conservatives, while her biggest detractors are
women, mainly younger and those who are college-educated.
While the drop occurs across the board, it is bigger among the President's
detractors. She is down 6 points among those who approve of the job her husband
is doing as President, yet she's down 11 percentage points among those who
disapprove. She has lost five points among Republicans and Republican-leaning
independents, but 13 points among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.
