Melania Trump declines to meet with Jill Biden at White House
Melania Trump declined an offer to head to the White House Wednesday and meet with Jill Biden, citing the Biden administration’s raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.
“She ain’t going,” a source familiar with Melania’s decision told The Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source said.
“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added.
Melania’s husband, President-elect Donald Trump, will sit with President Biden in the Oval Office Wednesday for a traditional post-election meeting.
Typically, the first lady hosts her successor for tea in the White House.
Melania visited the White House following her husband’s 2016 election win and received a tour from then- first lady Michelle Obama.
After Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, he failed to invite the Bidens to the White House before the Democrat officially assumed office, breaking the decades-old tradition, according to reports at the time.
The Post has reached out to the Trump campaign and the White House about Melania’s decision to skip the meeting.
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in its probe of the 45th president’s withholding of classified White House documents.
Melania, 54, has previously voiced her displeasure over the raid at their Palm Beach, Florida, mansion.
“Yeah, it made me angry,” she said on “Fox & Friends” in a September interview, calling it an “invasion of privacy.”
FBI agents scoured Melania’s wardrobe, combed through her 78-year-old husband’s office and even reportedly searched one of her son Barron’s rooms.

I don’t really blame her. Isn’t their son in NYC doing his first year in university? I’m betting she’ll hang out there for the next 4 years. Having one’s spouse hang out in The White House seems a dated thing to me. Is Mr. Trump going to stay there 24/7? Not likely either. He has his golf course in Florida for his weekends.

Jill got best of both worlds. She observed the tradition of inviting the new person and doesn’t have to actually meet with her.
Win win.

Maybe Melania can send her body double.

I don’t really blame her..
Nor do I. Besides, it’s not like she’s ever been to WH before and needs a tour. As well, serves nothing more than a protocol checkbox and decorum anyway.
I wonder if Grover Clevland’s wife was invited for tea second time round he was in the WH?

Not the first White House invite to be declined.
Further speculation had followed over whether the Eisenhowers would call on the President and First Lady before Inauguration Day, as was customary. Truman's hopes, it was said, "remained touching-ly, almost boyishly high" that the tradition would be honored, and when the Eisenhowers declined an invitation to lunch, he felt insulted. Reportedly the general did not wish to enter the house until he was President.

Nope, but I did see Dr. Jill walking with The Resident on the beach. He was stumbling along.. She could have at least helped him...

No surprise. But, I really dont think that VP Harris was smart enough or powerful enough to get President Biden to drop out. I think she was in the spot at the time.
Jill Biden is giving her too much credit. Not sure if she expected VP Harris to turn down the nomination or what?

This has nothing to do with Harris being the nominee. She doesn’t hate Harris because she thought Harris manipulated the party… Jill and Joe manipulated Harris. They endorsed her as the heir successor as a giant FU to Pelosi, Obama, and the rest of the party.
No, Jill has detested Kamala since before they asked her to be Joe’s running mate. She’s hated her since Kamala attacked Joe as a racist and segregationist during the 2019/2020 primaries. She’s always hated Harris. She just doesn’t have to hide it anymore.
Oddly enough, though, she’s quite taken with Doug.
