Extreme distraction alert: Melania's moving into the White House next week.

[Tanuki]

Sounds like a bid to distract the press and the public with a shiny object, or the addition of a jump-the-shark gimmick to beef up the ratings of a failing sitcom.

"President Donald Trump’s White House residence — where an increasingly isolated figure under siege conducts his late-night phone klatches and early morning tweetstorms — is about to get a little less lonely.

With the school year over, first lady Melania Trump and the couple’s son Barron are expected to finally make their official move to Washington on June 14, according to people familiar with the planning."... (more)

1. Pfft. She's not going to plug the hole in this Titanic.

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Coincidental timing. They had to install a bedroom door alarm to warn her if Trump tried to enter.

2. The school year has been a distraction for most of us

for most of our lives, and I'd suggest this would be similar for a 'President' and his family. REALLY not a big deal;there are and will be lots of other things going on in the DC metropolitan area.

[angstlessk]

18. Well, he didn't spend his weekends home with her and the kid...

I'm sure she will not sleep with him, or allow Barron too much face time with the donald.

3. I wonder if "Mr. Tiffany" is transferring to the D.C. Store......

[Ilsa]

22. Oh yeah!

Or maybe she will be making weekend trips home every other weekend. Or he will be camping in the woods while she "gets rustic" and spends a weekend away at Camp David. LOL

I hope she doesn't give him up.

4. Finally. Imagine the reaction if taxpayers had had to secure a block of downtown Chicago

round the clock because Michelle O. didn't want to move to DC?

There would have been an insurrection.

But all things are permitted to Republicans.

[onecaliberal]

6. That!!

[irisblue]

21. Indeed

[hatrack]

5. Man, they're getting desperate, aren't they?

[Yavin4]

7. She should pack lightly. n/t

[WoonTars]

16. Right? It's not like she's going to be there long...

....

[Rorey]

29. Good advice

But judging by how many outfit changes she had on their recent overseas trip, I kind of doubt that'll happen. Even if she's just there a week or two, she'll be bringing a lot of stuff.

[leftstreet]

8. Wait. Is this Season 2 already?

er...

[annabanana]

27. DUzy! . . . n/t

[ProudLib72]

9. Breaking: One man tent set up on WH lawn

Who will occupy the tent? Does said tent have a diet Coke button?

[NurseJackie]

10. I guess her bonus check cleared the bank.

[lpbk2713]

11. Asshole's handlers hope she can curtail his tweeting.

It's probably too little too late.

[Ilsa]

23. What joke ... she won't even hold his hands,

much less distract him with sex or late night modelling.

[drray23]

12. she may not want to completely unpack. her stay may be short.nt.

[ecstatic]

17. +1000. nt

[trueblue2007]

13. i wonder if they will sleep in the same room ??

i hope we get some leaks about what is going on. Someone needs to spell the dirt on Trump and wife number 3497

[MFM008]

14. BFD

There goes the boyfriend.....

[Tanuki]

20. I hadn't thought about that angle, but it sure didn't take much time

for Donald to yank his trophy wife out of her gilded Park Avenue tower once that rumor about her and the Tiffany's security guard surfaced, did it?

[annabanana]

26. HA!, forgot about that. . . . n/t

[mountain grammy]

15. I can't stand the thought of either of them there.

[NCTraveler]

19. Ivanka, move over. nt.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Will She Be Wearing Clothes?

Should we ever have to ask that about a FLOTUS? This crowd is beyond the pale.

[annabanana]

25. I'm sure it'll be as cosy as the Underwood's place... n/t

[woodsprite]

30. I hope it's just in time to get kicked out! n/t

[jmg257]

31. "extreme distraction"?? Hardly, as it was expected as the school year finishes.

Someone will have to do better than that!

[Doreen]

32. I have this vision of her not only on the oppisite side of the white house

but on the floor furthest from the one he is on. Oh yeah, if he is in the front she will be in the back.
