Melania is not an employee, she is the wife of the President who himself has remained ready willing and able to negotiate.

Does the First Lady have a legislative role in ending the government shutdown?
Oh, she doesn’t? Get over how it “looks” then.
To: no-to-illegals
Michelle Obama to a tax-payer funded trip to Africa in June of 2013, before the government was shutdown, to the tune of $425,000.

50 Ways to Leave Washington "The problem is all inside your head", Trump said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave Washington
Trump said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave Washington
Fifty ways to leave Washington
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
