Where’s Melania? Usha Vance Steps in for First Lady to Launch Kids’ Reading Challenge

Second Lady Usha Vance, a self-confessed bookworm, took the spotlight Thursday to plug her White House–backed summer reading challenge, stepping into a role left vacant by the mostly absent Melania Trump.

-------------------

Biographer Michael Wolff recently told The Daily Beast Podcast that Melania and Trump are “separated” in all but name, living “completely separate lives.”

The Beast’s CCO Joanna Coles joked that “Melania is missing.”

The New York Times echoed that claim, calling her low profile a “sensitive subject” within Trumpworld. As of early May, she had spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since Trump’s second inauguration—an absence not seen since Bess Truman nearly 80 years ago, historian Katherine Jellison noted.

That distance contradicts Melania’s own pledge in a rare Fox News interview back in January. Asked where she would spend most of her time, she replied confidently: “I will be in the White House.”

1. What, there wasn't enough crypto skim available to get a 3rd prenup renegotiation done?

That's a shame.

Edit to add…they say in trumpworld (tm) that m’s absence is a “sensitive subject”? Heavens, it seems then that one shouldn’t even notice it.

Or, maybe we definitely should be. Is this a stone in trumps sandal?

7. Was she elected, or hired, to serve the country?

Expecting the wife of whoever is elected president to drop their own life to serve the country simply because her husband was elected is extremely sexist.

While I am grateful for presidential wives who choose to serve alongside of their husbands, I don't expect it.

And, with Melania, I think I'm more grateful that she is absent than the "service" she provided during his last term.

8. We barely have a president.

9. Her own party considers Usha to be DEI. Vance apologized to his white supremacists that she was not white.
