First lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump's adult children have been avoiding the spotlight since the violent events unfolded this week. And according to Business Insider, a White House source says that Melania is mentally 'checked out' and doesn't want to 'get involved' anymore. As a mob of Trump supporters broke into the US Capitol on Wednesday, Mrs. Trump chose to focus on finishing a photoshoot for her coffee table book. The book is about decorative items she's restored in the president's residence since her husband took office four years ago. A source familiar with the first lady's schedule says Mrs. Trump was busy overseeing the photographing of rugs and other items in the West Wing.
On Sunday, Sen. Mitt Romney publicly criticized President Donald Trump's continued efforts to undermine and delegitimize the 2020 election. Romney said there were many things Trump could be doing, like heralding the success of the COVID vaccine. Romney is dismayed that Trump has chosen to focus on overturning the election. "It's really sad and in a lot of respects embarrassing," he said. Romney said Trump is leaving Washington "with a whole series of conspiracy theories." "Things that are so nutty and loopy that people are shaking their heads, wondering what in the world has gotten into this man."
The family of President Donald Trump appears to be split on whether he should publicly concede the presidential election to named winner Joe Biden. CNN reports Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is urging concession, as is First Lady Melania Trump. However, Trump's two adult sons, Eric and Donald Jr. are loudly exhorting allies to continue pressing on. Moments after CNN and other networks projected Biden's win, Trump tweeted Biden was 'rushing to falsely pose as the winner' and that the race is 'far from over.' A Biden-Harris campaign staffer says there has been no communication between Biden and Trump, or between the campaigns, since the race was called.
When it comes to getting people to get their checkbooks out to contribute to a presidential reelection campaign, having a first lady speak is a deal-closer. But according to CNN, America's current FLOTUS, First lady Melania Trump, is giving stumping a miss this season. In a historic break from precedent, Mrs. Trump has yet to set foot on the campaign trail this year even as her husband, President Donald Trump, fights for votes. Her absence is particularly likely to be felt when Trump appeals to suburban White women, whom he has openly begged to 'love' him. A source who knows the first lady told CNN Melania Trump is doing what she often does: whatever she feels like. He [Trump] knows her well enough to know that when she doesn't want to do something, it's not like he or anyone else is going to change her mind. Confidential source
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump accused his Democratic counterpart Hillary Clinton of selling "about 20 percent of America's uranium supply to the Russians," while campaigning in Akron, Ohio, on Monday.
After a stunning and poised Melania Trump spoke about herself and to the Republican convention and millions of Americans there were cries that a few of the generic words were copied from the Michelle Obama convention speech in 2008. There were close similarities in 70 of the 1,400 words and most of them were here about herself. Listen in and tell us what you think.
