Melania Trump at the White House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Melania Trump, the White House was a home where she not only lived with her husband and son\u2014she also hosted guests and oversaw renovations. In her memoir, Melania writes about her time in the White House during President Trump’s first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As first lady, Melania embraced her responsibility to host and manage White House events with meticulous attention to detail<\/a>. She highlighted the state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, as an example, personally overseeing every aspect\u2014from decor to dining\u2014with nods to both French and American culture through her choice of designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: State dinners are key diplomatic events held during official visits by foreign leaders, fostering goodwill and often timed with significant discussions. Traditionally organized by the first lady, these dinners highlight the host country\u2019s hospitality. Notable examples include Queen Elizabeth II’s 1957 visit under Eisenhower<\/a>, symbolizing strong US-UK ties, and Nelson Mandela\u2019s 1994 visit with Clinton<\/a>, celebrating the end of apartheid<\/a> in South Africa and the beginning of a democratic era.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melania\u2019s role included planning diverse events, such as the Governor\u2019s Ball and International Women\u2019s Day, where she hosted a luncheon and spoke at the International Women of Courage Award Ceremony to highlight global women\u2019s issues. Holidays were also busy, with events scheduled around Easter and Thanksgiving, and Christmas preparations beginning as early as July. On Valentine\u2019s Day, Melania visited a children\u2019s hospital, engaging in crafts and sharing treats with the patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Secretly recorded tapes from 2018 reveal Melania\u2019s frustration with the demands of holiday preparations<\/a>. She remarked, \u201cI\u2019m working \u2026 my a** off on the Christmas stuff… who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations?\u201d suggesting she felt overwhelmed and unrecognized for her efforts. These tapes were recorded by her then-friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff and were later used in Wolkoff’s book, Melania and Me<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melania also undertook White House renovations in collaboration with designer Tham Kannalikham, focusing on finding the balance between historical preservation and modern updates. In addition to refreshing wallpaper and reupholstering furniture in the White House, Melania oversaw the design and construction of a new tennis pavilion at the White House, and she coordinated updates to Camp David. She writes that she also improved the White House Rose Garden, adding a new walkway for accessibility and an improved irrigation system. According to Melania, these efforts exemplified her commitment to enhancing the beauty and functionality of these historic spaces for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: It\u2019s typical for first ladies to collaborate with a decorator<\/a> and undertake grounds and renovation projects during their time in the White House. For example, as first lady, Michelle Obama worked with Michael S. Smith<\/a> on the private quarters and added a kitchen garden<\/a> to the Southeast Lawn. However, some of Melania\u2019s projects, such as the renovation of the White House\u2019s Rose Garden and the construction of a tennis pavilion, garnered criticism. A tweet showcasing progress on the new tennis pavilion<\/a> drew backlash for its insensitivity amid the global pandemic and Tennessee tornadoes. The Rose Garden renovation, which removed 10 original crab apple trees<\/a>, also faced criticism for altering its iconic layout. However, supporters lauded the refreshed garden\u2019s elegance and accessibility.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
