Melania Trump reportedly growing frustrated with White House comm team

Melania Trump is reportedly at odds with the White House communications and press team, which she believes are not doing enough to protect her husband.

Melania’s concerns have focused around Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Politico reported Sunday. Speculation about Spicer’s role in the administration increased earlier this month after went on Navy Reserve duty a day after Trump fired James Comey as FBI director.

“She was really concerned that Spicer was not doing a good job, that they were not proactive in defending the president,” said one outside adviser told Politico. ”The leaks bother her. She believes a lot of people are more interested in serving themselves than him.”

Melania had also been troubled by quotes from aides who criticize the president and she had discussed it with her husband, the report said. President Trump calls a handful of people to discuss the reaction to the White House drama beyond Washington.

They serve the nation, Melania. They're just the staff of someone who's more interested in serving himself than the nation too. As the saying goes, that stuff flows downhill.


And really, Melania, there's nothing they can really do to protect him when he uses a machine gun to shoot himself in the foot. Repeatedly. All they can do is scramble fast to mop up the mess.

Maybe it's possible that she isn't aware, but I doubt it.

To help Trump, that sounds like pure propaganda to make people like her more and think their marriage ok.

My eyes tell me she hates him, I know have been in a few bad marriages, she cringes every time he touches her.

If they were happy they would at least have been celebrating on inauguration day. They looked like they were going to a funeral.

13. I agree. Melania can't stand him, so I find it nearly impossible to believe that she is worried

about the WH comm team. Her body language around him says it all -- plus the obvious hand slap. She can't stand him and doesn't seem remotely protective of him (contrast her body language around Barron to her body language around Trump -- she loves and is very protective of Barron (yes I realize he is her child). She protects him with her body and stays close to him. Her body language with Trump pretty much screams that she can't stand him so it's hard for me to buy the idea that she's into managing his political life)

is to put a positive spin on someone who sits on her butt all day and does nothing. Does she ever leave the golden palace? She's pretty much useless as a productive person

I bet she can just shop circles around most trophy wives.
