The Role of a First Lady
What should the role of a First Lady be? Ever since her ( lying, misogynist, racist, corrupt ) husband took office, Americans have closely observed the actions of his wife Melania. Why does she always look so miserable? Why does she seem to actively avoid her husband (remember when she slapped his hand away)? Does she really enjoy the perks of the job? Does she really want the responsibility? Right from the beginning the pundits speculated that not only did she not want the job, but she was actively shunning it. She spent five months living away from the White House with the excuse that she didn't want her son to switch schools. The rumors swirled that she was not interested in the implied job of White House social secretary and national hostess. Perhaps that was going to be Ivanka's job. Eleven months later the speculation is still going strong. Even though Melania is taking on some of the social roles expected of a First Lady, she doesn't look happy about it.
