Hey everyone, remember your first day on the job? Any job you may have had.
We all thought November 9 was stressful for us, imagine what it was for Melania Trump? At the Inauguration no less, the entire world saw how she is treated by you know who, and I for one, would love to see her succeed .. as a new millennial Jackie. Jacqueline Kennedy was a Socialite Fluff, but a very good one in her role as Senators wife, and especially First Lady. We all know how poised she remained. We all loved her for caring for OUR WHITE HOUSE and appreciated all she did and put up with as First Lady.
So far, Melanie, she seems to being doing well and surrounding herself with experienced people. Town and Country did a few articles both on her first weeks and other hires etc.
Melania Hires Experienced Political, Diplomatic and Social Secretary
She is beginning to make key appointments. Yesterday, a White House press releaseannounced the appointment of Anna Cristina Niceta Lloyd as White House social secretary. Niceta Lloyd, known as Rickie, will be responsible for all social events at the White House.
"Rickie brings with her over twenty-two years of solid diplomatic, political and social entertaining experience," said First Lady Melania Trump. "I am looking forward to sharing my ideas and traditions of entertaining and social hospitality to America's house, my new home as well. That, along with Rickie's vast experience, I am even more excited."
She also hired a White House decorator.
She just announced her White House decorator. Tham Kannalikham, a Laotian-American designer, was named to the position last week.
"Mrs. Trump has a deep appreciation for the historical aspects of the White House and with Tham's traditional design and expertise, they are focusing on a seamless integration of elegance and comfort into where the President, the First Lady, and [their son] Barron will be spending their family time and calling their home," Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, senior adviser to the First Lady said of the appointment.
Kannalikham, too, gave a statement, "I am honored by the opportunity to be working with the First Lady to make the White House feel like home."
She is having to make plans for a household move. Jackie Kennedy moved into the role from being a Senator’s wife so she started out with a Washington DC social network.
Melania has this other problem of course, the man in the Oval Office now. She can get advice about that too, from many, including those at National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. As most abused women know, it is helpful to have a support team. This will be a delicate tightrope to walk, because, apparently, many Republican women enjoy the role of abuse victim and or have not done the work necessary to stop abuse.
So my goal in writing this blog is to let her know, we know, and recommend that she enlist her most valuable Secret Weapon, .. Ivanka Trump … to both help in a Hostess role, when she is in New York, and to double team you know who, and let him know who is really running our/your White House. … And you both have Jared on your team.
Of course, my real ulterior motive for writing this, is that now, we can all still get wonderful pictures of children in the White House again.
