Breaking her silence five days later in a statement riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, Melania condemned the attack, noted the dead and swiftly turned to her own grievances — slamming the “salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me” in reference to criticism of her afternoon siege interiors shoot.

A final tone-deaf salvo, followed by her refusal to welcome the incoming first lady, Jill Biden, for the customary White House tea and tour. A move made even more gauche in that the century’s-old tradition had been extended to her by a gracious Michelle Obama, despite years of racist birther attacks against President Barack Obama by the Trumps in order to build up their political capital. Not that the Bidens care — they already know their way around the White House and, like the majority of Americans, they’re just relieved that the Trumps have been evicted. Their daughter, Ashley, dismissed Melania’s petty snub as “unfortunate” but one “we’re all okay with.”

Departing with a 47 per cent approval rating, compared with her predecessor’s 69 per cent, FLOTUS 45 will go down as America’s least popular first lady. A reputation that can’t be papered over with fancy wall coverings and Hermes handbags, Melania Trump will be remembered not for her notable fashion coups and decorative achievements but for her detachment and shallowness.

Or as W Magazine put it, “the mean girl no one wants to sit with at lunch anymore.”
