Melania Trump has something Michelle Obama will never have: class.

Melania doesn't need to have a horde of her friends sitting around, doing nothing and collecting taxpayer money.

One more reason to love Melania.

Let’s remember that Mrs. Obama is a Princeton graduate and probably needs more assistance. What’s $22MM of other people’s money?

If she is down to 4 from 16, that’s a 75% reduction.

I like this new concept that the presidents wife doesn’t have a policy role.

I just read this comment below an article:

“Michael’s staff cost more because someone had to shave it’s face twice a day.”

There’s no way any first lady needs 16 assistants.

I wonder how many Mrs. Bill Clinton had? Maybe even more than 16 since she thought of herself as co-president.

And Laura Bush had a similar number as Mrs. Obama.

How racist of her, reducing her aides just to make Michael look bad.

classy lady.

“Melania doesn’t need to have a horde of her friends sitting around, doing nothing and collecting taxpayer money.”

And that’s exactly what it was too, all sitting around “We gittn OUR reparations, gurl!”

First-Lady Melania Trump Reduces Payroll 60 Percent – Mrs. Trump 4 Aides VS Mrs. Obama 16 Aides

NY Times headline: Trump causes massive unemployment.

[DennisR]

Queen Michelle vs. Citizen Melania. I choose Citizen Melania...not even close.

[Lizavetta]

Since we all know that government employees rarely get fired, it needs to be asked ... did these people get removed from the taxpayer-funded payroll or simply shifted to positions not connected to the Trumps' staff?

If the latter, then the taxpayers are still getting soaked and Melania's actions are merely symbolic.
