When Michelle Obama became First Lady, Laura Bush extended a courtesy

[In It to Win It]

that Michelle Obama could reach out to Laura Bush if she needed advise or help for being the First Lady.

Michelle Obama extended that same courtesy to Melania Trump.

Someone has to be the adult in that semi-co parenting relationship. If Donald’s is gonna be a baby, Melania should extend the courtesy and be gracious... not that Jill Biden needs it.

1. I'm so happy that now Melanie won't have to worry about those fucking

Christmas decorations or children in cages.

[JHB]

6. ByeMel

[spooky3]

17. LOL! Nt

[Ilsa]

22. That's fantastic! LOLOL. nt

[BlueNProud]

30. I still can't believe that wasn't more highly publicized

I know its just the first lady but jeesus that statement was really revealing

[GaYellowDawg]

2. She won't.

She’s as much of a narcissistic asshole as her (sic) husband.

[OneBlueDotBama]

3. I left you all my used makeup...

Signed
Be Best, Melania...
Ps: Have fun with the fruckin chrismas decorations...

[HipChick]

4. What on earth could Squinty teach Dr. Biden?

[Blasphemer]

5. Fortunately, Dr. Biden can rely on Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton for guidance. nt

9. Don't forget Roselyn Carter

She is still with us

[treestar]

20. or even Laura Bush for that matter

Of course, Malaria will be like her husband and fail to observe the traditions.

[whttevrr]

7. ha ha ha 😅

Literal out loud laughing.

Dr. Jill Biden needs nothing from melania.

[In It to Win It]

13. I acknowledge that. Jill Biden literally does not need it but...

it’s the courteous thing to do.

It’s not a necessary thing but the traditional and admirable thing.

Similar to a concession speech. Joe Biden doesn’t need Trump to concede. For all I care, whoever is writing it (if anybody) can shove it up Trump’s ass... but conceding is the traditional and admirable thing to do.

[CTyankee]

16. Yep. And we have a First Lady who keeps her clothes on for photographs...

[Retrograde]

8. And Jenna and Barbara Bush

gave Malia and Sasha a tour of the White House, showing them their favorite places to play when they were girls visiting their grandfather (per a recent article in Smithsonian magazine): IIRC the Obama girls tried to do the same with Barron.

From the way she was described in "Melania and Me", Mrs. Trump is strictly transactional: unless Jill Biden can do something for her she doesn't give a damn.

[LiberalFighter]

10. What advice or help could Melania possibly provide to Jill?

I bet Melania could care less what happens in the White House when she is gone.

By the way. Jill worked with Michelle for 8 years. So don't think Jill has any need for Melania.

[In It to Win It]

14. None. It's just the admirable thing to do.

[3catwoman3]

15. She doesn't care about it...

...now, and never has.

The only thing she knows how to do is strike a pose.

[question everything]

11. I think that Melania will be glad to put this whole nightmare behind her

[bdamomma]

12. the tRump

crime family does not know anything about being gracious.

[Polybius]

18. To be fair she really can't right now

Her crazy husband is still trying to challenge it in court. Also, Laura's husband didn't lose either, it was after his 8 years. Did Barbara Bush congratulate Hillary after her husband's loss? I can't remember.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. FLOTUS-Elect Jill Biden will be gracious none the less.

She knows the ship this woman spewed such venom about Joe and Democrats.

[democrattotheend]

21. As much as I couldn't stand Bush

I will say that he and Laura were very gracious to the Obamas during the transition and after. I don't expect the same from the Trumps, sadly, though Melania may be more gracious than her husband. She at least had the decency to stay quarantined and keep most of her staff away when she was sick with the coronavirus.

[Ilsa]

24. Malignia has absolutely nothing to gain

by making the special offer to Dr. Jill Biden. She will have some excuse and not do it. Maybe Barron needs a caviar creme rubdown or some other shit.

[Tommymac]

23. Melanoma will send a postcard...

I saw a twitter 'rumor' she is already flying out of the country.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214493680

Probably not true but I won't bet against that one dark night she will be flying away alone very soon.

[Ilsa]

25. She'll take Barron with her.

He supposedly can speak her parents' language (Russian?) and she won't leave him, certainly not with the man who barely knows him.

Watch for malignia's parents' travel plans.

[Skittles]

26. I like Laura

I remember when Michelle worded something awkwardly and they tried to make it sound like was dissing America - when someone ran it by Laura, she wouldn't have it, just shut it down. Laura is decent gal, despite her husband.

Melania is big a fraud as her gold-digging "prize" of a husband. Fuck ALL the Trumps except for Barron, I truly wish him well.

[JI7]

27. Im sure Michelle Obama and even Laura Bush will be available to

provide any advice .

[SlogginThroughIt]

28. I think Jill will get enough help from Michelle.

melania can go do whatever the fuck useless pieces of shit do.

[In It to Win It]

29. I'm sure she will if she needs but it's not really about Jill needing help

It’s about the tradition and admirable thing to do like the incoming President meeting the outgoing President at the White House on Inauguration Day. They do it for the tradition of passing the forth and symbolizing a transfer of power not just for them, but for the country.
