It’s a traditional thing: during the transition from one presidential administration to another the outgoing first lady hosts the incoming one for tea and shows her around the White House. This is one of the more genteel accouterments of the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S., but it has become more fiery this time around, as Melania Trump has just declined an invitation from Jill Biden to sit down for a happy transition chat. Ungracious? Bad manners? Hateful? We will be hearing all of that and more from the left’s propaganda organs, but as is always the case, reality is different.
The New York Post reported Monday that Melania “declined an offer to head to the White House Wednesday and meet with Jill Biden, citing the Biden administration’s past raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.” Ah, now that makes sense. Holding this corrupt and authoritarian regime accountable and refusing to normalize it or to act as if its criminal acts were just all part of the great game of American politics could be the most consequential and important thing that Melania Trump, or any first lady, has ever done.
The Post quoted an unnamed source who was “familiar with Melania’s decision” and said: “She ain’t going. Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.”
This is harsh language, but the source certainly had a point. Donald Trump and Joe Biden aren’t just political opponents after the fashion of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Biden is the first president ever to have treated his principal opponent and eventual elected successor as if he were a criminal. What polite veneer can or should remain between the Trumps and the Bidens after that?
Biden is the first president ever to have declared that the leader of the opposition was outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse when he said: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” That wasn’t just heated rhetoric, either: the Biden-Harris regime and its henchmen acted upon it with the Mar-a-Lago raid, the conversion of misdemeanors into felonies in order to be able to brand Trump a “convicted felon,” the fabrication of a rape charge out of the obvious fabrications of a histrionic fantasist, and so much more.
Melania said this about the Mar-a-Lago raid last September: “Yeah, it made me angry.” She called it, quite justifiably, an “invasion of privacy.” Corrupt Biden-Harris regime apparatchiks who unfortunately held the job of FBI agents, the Post reported, “scoured Melania’s wardrobe, combed through her 78-year-old husband’s office and even reportedly searched one of her son Barron’s rooms.” Ransacking through the first lady’s wardrobe, ostensibly in search of classified documents, is very much the stuff of authoritarian regimes. There is certainly no indication that “Dr. Jill” had any objection to any of this, and she almost certainly did not. So why should Melania sit down and exchange pleasantries with someone who would be thrilled to see her behind bars?
“I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see,” Melania recounted. “And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff.” Indeed, especially in light of the fact that the whole thing was the most base and irresponsible political grandstanding, and was so flimsy that it couldn’t even survive all the way through the election cycle: “Trump’s confidential documents case was dismissed by US District Judge Aileen Cannon in July.”
To be sure, Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Old Joe Biden in the White House on Wednesday. In his buoyant statement after Trump’s victory, Old Joe said: “For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment in self-government in the history of the world — and that’s not hyperbole; that’s a fact — where the people — the people vote and choose their own leaders and they do it peacefully and where, in a democracy, the will of the people always prevails.”
This was an attempt to dunk on Trump for the fictional “insurrection” of Jan. 6, 2021, but it only reminded those who have been paying attention of the Biden-Harris regime’s efforts to thwart the “will of the people” and demonize and destroy the people’s choice. Trump accepted the meeting, but he won’t be accepting the left’s framing of that meeting.
If everything goes the way it is supposed to, Donald Trump will become president on Jan. 20, 2025, replacing the most corrupt, anti-American and authoritarian administration in U.S. history. Melania Trump has declined to treat the transition as if it were business as usual. Brava.
~ Bravissima! ~
Yes, Melania has more class than any other woman on Earth.
ELON MUCKS MOTHER HAS ALOT OF CLASS TO, GOD BLESS MELINA !
And to really add insult to injury, Biden the Big Guy had classified
documents laying all over his garage – and nothing happened to
him. What they’ve done to President Trump and by extension his
family over the past four years is unconscionable and Jill Biden
can go to hell.
Good for you, Mrs. Trump!
The Left tends to see things as “transactional,” which means, if I understand this correctly, “the ends justify the means.” As when Harry Reid blatantly lied about Mitt Romney’s taxes, and then refused to apologize because “we won, didn’t we?” Then all is apparently forgiven, and we move on to the next low-life tactic. Glad to see that that is not going to be allowed here. Good on you, Melania!
FJB WAS ALL SMILES in hopes that Trump doesn’t do to him what he did to Trump. BUT THE BIG GUY will be the one in prison with his son. Trump gets the last laugh!
It has taken many decades to finally appreciate and understand women. One thing I’ve learned, though, is never, never, never, never invade a woman’s private space (this includes her underwear drawer) because it pisses them off. And NEVER, NEVER DEEPLY PISS OFF A WOMAN. They get mean…God, can they get mean
You’re right about that. Don’t invade their private spaces. They hate that. They’re like cats that way. And only piss them off before you’re about to dump them.
Because men just *love* their own ‘private spaces’ invaded. 😫 Dumbass
I don’t think anyone likes to have their private areas invaded especially by strangers.
Anybody except Dirtbagocrats. They like to invade the space of strangers, although they don’t like it to happen to themselves, of course.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…. William Congreve
I’ve looked in the mirror and do not see a Nazi and I’ve smelled my socks and it isn’t garbage. Can we file a class action against the people that so slandered us?
You have a point. Let’s call it what it is, hate speech.
I also look in the mirror, and I don’t see a Nazi.
My socks do smell like garbage though.
fuck
You need to wash those things.
I have some stinky socks I wear too, though. I use them as slippers and wear them for weeks on end. I’m a bachelor, don’t you know. My girls are always giving me shit about my dirty pillow cases and stuff like my stank ass socks. They’re free to do my laundry, which is what I tell them. Shut up and get to work, bitches.
I see we have 2 dick lickers here.
We are coming out of a dreadful period of American politics. Having been a political science major/minor at three degree levels, I can say that with a little bit of authority to say so. I often want to hurl when I think of the raid on Donald Trump’s home, and the search of Melania’s personal belongings. I hope someone pays for this immoral, unprecedented and unnecessary transgression.
Remember, the raid on the Trump’s home was not just immoral, unnecessary, and insulting – it was also a potential assassination attempt because it later came out that the FBI raiders had orders to shoot resistors.
Thank God Commie-la will never sit in the oval office, because the next ones to have their homes invaded by the FBI would have been us – as Commie-la said: “if you own a gun, we will be entering your house.”
Point of order . . .
It’s already been us.
The FBI goon squad has kicked in several common patriot’s doors – killing one that we know of (Craig Robertson)
The DNC run FBI raid as many Jan 6th patriots as their schedule lets them (latest one was arrested on election day).
Douglas Mackey is facing 10 years for the crime of being effective on-line. (The bullshit charges manufactured against Mackey even top those dreamed up against Trump.)
Several parents have been raided for being vocal at schoolboard meetings. (Footage shown on “Police State” by Dinesh D’Souza.)
There’s also the pro-life guy who was raided for having allegedly pushed a pro-choice person who was pestering his son.
That raid on Mar al Lago was also illegal. The President of the US has FIULL AND FINAL authority on what is and/or is not “classified”. President Trump made some decisions about which documents he wanted to retain. His simple act of retaining them MAKES them “unclassified”. thus the Buy-Dem ordered raid was totally illegal. EVERY DOCUMENT Trump had removed to his personal home had been, by his simple retention of it, declassified. hus the raid for “classified” documents at Mar al Lago ws a farce.. as, by definition THERE WERE NONE.
Absolutely. This raid was outrageous, not ony to the President Donald Trump, but to the American people who had given him this authority.
I’m really proud of Melania for taking this stand. This is an outrage and a violation that only women understand, and it drives home the ruthlessness of what we’ve been up against. Very telling that Kamala and her ilk said nothing at the time. Also makes me glad they lost.
JOE & JILL, LIVED ON THE HILL,TO FETCH A PAIL OF MONEY,WITHOUT A SHOUT,WERE VOTED OUT,AND NOW WASNT FUNNY
“If everything goes the way it is supposed to”
Mrs Trump has taken the lead here, I’m deeply suspicious about Biden’s sudden coherence and won’t be surprised to see a legal challenge against the people’s wishes.
Agreed Mo, just look at all the (questionable) legal convolutions the left went through in Trump’s first term. It was as if those laws were created by the left just to lay dormant until they needed to overthrow a President.
well, I say BRING IT ON. Here is one “people” who WILL stand and fight against their raging. Pore Loooozers.
Melania to Dr. Jill: “Drop dead!”
I think “Go F yourself” would be more fitting.
Melania Trump has more justification for dropping a pretense of civility toward Jill Biden than Jill Biden has blaming Kamala Harris for the Obama inspired coup that forced her husband (America’s first mentally retarded president) out after his disastrous debate performance.. That performance was like Toto pulling back the curtain on The Wizard of Oz. The whole world knew that this farting, stumbling, babbling and incontinent fool was unfit for office. Why was the 25th Amendment not invoked (Kamala Harris as president is scary, but so is Joe Biden)? Because Kamala could no longer pretend to have no agency and no responsibility for the chaos beginning 01/20/2021.
Or because Kamala refused to participate in the 25th Amendment action, as required for the VP, unless she was the candidate. Who knows?
I’m not a fashion expert, but…it will be nice to have a First Lady in office who doesn’t wear dresses that look like a 55 gallon trash bag or draperies from the 1970s.
Glad to have her back as the First Lady. So many great changes in the works.
Melania is correct in doing what she did. In fact, I don’t think Donnie should have met with Bidumb.
Biden was smiling from ear to ear because, I think, Trump gave him a ‘get out of jail, free’ card. If Gaetz gets confirmed, those down the ladder won’t be so lucky. Hell, Biden might even testify for the prosecution.
Put your hands together for the most gracious and elegant First Lady ever, Melania Trump. 👏
The Biden’s and all the Operatives of The Democrat Communist Criminal Terrorist Organization of America, are to put it mildly the SCUM BAGS of the World.
Why would Melania want Jill to show her around the White House? Melania has been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Maybe that’s why the FBI perverts were sniffing her underwear drawer, looking for that.
Way to go Melania!! Hey Jill, up yours! Now put that in your peace pipe and smoke it you pompous jackass!
It will be interesting to see if both the Biden’s show up at President Trumps inauguration ceremony on Jan 20th. In spite of both their complicity in sanctioning the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, which Jill Biden most assuredly gave her utmost approval to since she was running interference for Joe behind his presidential facade. Jill was right about one point during the coup when his party threw him under the bus for Kamela when she proclaimed, “Joe is good to go!” Why yes Jill, he most certainly is!
Mrs. Trump didn’t need to be “shown around” the White House, she is already familiar with the premises. There was no need for “a happy transition chat” – that would have been an exercize in hypocrisy and a waste of time.
It was a put on to make the Bidens look “gracious”. Melania had no reason to participate in this “let’s make pretend” bullshit. The Biden’s are fake, phony frauds elevated to positions they never deserved. Melania, rightly so, refused to play along in another of their masquerade parties. I wish she would urge Donald to go after them like they went after him.
What is startling about a classy and elegant woman choosing not to meet with a tasteless, conniving witch?
