Melania Trump gave a one-word response to the option of promoting peace on Jan. 6

According to former aide Stephanie Grisham, the former First Lady made a documented choice during the Capitol riot

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 really hope that she doesn't mess Barron up too much. I thought he seemed sweet as a kid.

If I can find a link I'll reply to your post again.

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.

How unpleasant an experience that must have been.

I'm sorry to read that about Barron. Darn.

she'd have to turn in her precious coat to prove she cared......

(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."
