On January 6, 2021, while MAGA enthusiasts rioted in and around the U.S. Capitol, Melania Trump was asked if she'd like to tweet a statement encouraging peace and the former First Lady responded with a one-word answer.
According to ex-aide Stephanie Grisham, she personally sent a text to Melania on Jan. 6 asking "Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness & violence?"
Melania's response was a simple "No."
Grisham, who was Melania's chief of staff during the time of this exchange, and a former White House press secretary and communications director, resigned later that day without making mention of what had happened. Tweeting a farewell message, Grisham said "It has been an honor to serve the country in the White House. I am very proud to have been a part of Melania Trump's mission to help children everywhere, & proud of the many accomplishments of this Administration."

I too felt for Melania and Barron as I saw them as victims. Barron, arguably, might still be seen that way, but sadly, I think he'll live up to to value of his older siblings. I hope I am wrong.

(I really don't care - do you?)
Besides, any such 'action' could have really screwed up the 'pre-nup!'
What a disgrace to the honorable title of "First Lady."
