It looks like the First Lady gets her diplomatic skills from her husband
FORGET the thousands of Central American migrants making their way to the States – no one puts more fear into Donald Trump than the women in his life.
But while Theresa May and Angela Merkel wish it was them, it is the US President’s wife who has been shown to rule the White House roost.
Many had hoped it would be First Lady Melania who would provide much-needed direction to a rudderless White House ship.
However, given the events of the past week, she has proven the age-old adage that like attracts like.
Melania’s decision to publicly call for the sacking of a government employee was not only unprecedented but unforgivable.
The Slovenian Sphinx demanded that deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel be fired – not because of her ability but because of a personal slight. It tells you everything about how the White House is run.
Ricardel’s crime? To dare object to Melania’s rock star-sized entourage and its correspondingly small press contingent on the plane for her disastrously embarrassing trip to Africa.
All this from someone who promised to fight bullying while launching a national “Be Best” campaign for young people.
Instead, she has opted to stay silent when her husband locks up terrified children in cages, calls white nationalists “fine people” and boasts it’s all right to “grab women by the p***y”.
Welcome to the First Dictators’ Wives Club, Melania – Eva Perón, Elena Ceausescu and Imelda Marcos have been expecting you.
