Melania Trump 'just wants to go home'

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/melania-trump-future/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_content=2020-12-09T16%3A55%3A04&utm_term=image&utm_source=twCNNp


(CNN)In mid-November, as President Donald Trump railed against the election results, his wife, first lady Melania Trump publicly agreed with his sentiments. But privately, a handful of days after the final state tally, the first lady tasked an emissary with discreetly finding out what was available to her in terms of budget and staff allocation for post-White House life.

While the President is busy figuring out a way to stay in the White House, the first lady is determining what to put in storage, what goes to Trump's New York City digs, and what should be tagged for shipment to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

"She just wants to go home," said another source familiar with Melania Trump's state of mind. Asked how the first lady feels about rumors her husband might announce a 2024 bid, the source added: "That might not go over well."


This is actually quite a long article that in part details the new living situation at Mar-a-Lago, which is going to feel very confining for the trump family at just 3,000 square feet for their personal living space - and club members walking back and forth directly outside their front door.

Also that trump is looking forward to the ongoing personal adulation from club members.

Melania's parents will also live at Mar-a-Lago. Have you ever seen a picture of trump with his father-in-law? I bet none exist because it would be just too damn creepy.

who does the best messaging for Democrats? Eric Swalwell? Ted Lieu?

Maddow?

I think Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt are also pretty good --- and they're not even Democrats!

1/13/17 - Democrats denied tickets for Trump inauguration festivities

Petty abusive asshole from the start.

Lest we forget.

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-inauguration-activities-democrats-denied-233603



House Democrats say they are having trouble getting tickets to inaugural festivities for President-elect Donald Trump, leading some to openly speculate it might be a sign of rancorous partisanship to come.

...


Fuller sent an email to the listserv Thursday night saying her liaison at the Presidential Inaugural Committee confirmed rumors that Republicans were automatically given tickets to the parade and ball while Democratic offices were expected to request those tickets and even then, there was no guarantee they’d get to attend.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee held a ticket distribution event at Republican National Committee headquarters earlier this week for all GOP offices to pick up member tickets to the welcome concert, parade and ball, according to a inaugural committee email obtained by POLITICO.

“Not only is it unfair but it deepens the chasm between our parties and confirms that we will not be considered,” Fuller said in her note to other schedulers.
