February 25, 2024 at 8:02 am EST By Taegan Goddard
The pair had a four-year internal power struggle to fill the role of first lady, which Ivanka had tried to assume when Melania didnt immediately move into the Executive Mansion at the start of Donald Trumps term, according to an early viewing by The Post of Katie Rogers forthcoming book American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden.
Ivanka reportedly planned to revamp the Executive Mansions East Wing while Melania stayed behind in New York to ensure that her son Barron, who was 10 at the time, could finish out the school year. The eldest daughter had plans to more or less eliminate the first ladys position by overtaking her quarters, so it could be geared to serving the entire First Family, not just the First Lady, Rogers, a New York Times White House reporter, wrote.

(19,273 posts)"I don't want it, but I'll de damned if I'm going to let you have it," bullshit. 🙄
I really don't blame Malaria from not wanting to move into the White House with His Assholiness, but you can't have it both ways.
I remember when the MAGAts were crowing, "Finally, someone with some class as First Lady again." They detested Michelle Obama, for obvious reasons, but to say Malaria has class? It just goes to show how easily those rubes can be fooled.

(19,273 posts)Another right-wing Murdoch rag straying from the official "Trump is god" edict?
Was this buried in the "Home and Garden" section of the tabloid? I have yet
to see the cover of today's NYP, but I can't imagine it would be positioned anywhere the MAGAts could see it, even accidentally.
I used to read the NYP decades ago, but now avoid it like the plague. It's the official right-wing nut-job paper of record, so I can't bear to look at it.
From sports to entertainment, every comment section is filled with the vile ramblings from right-wing Trump cult members. It's unreadable. 🤮

I know that this is about her daughter's power struggle with Melania, but it reminded me of that whole bizarre death and golf course burial.
