Melania Trump outsourced writing her own 'thank you' notes to the White House residence staff

First lady Melania Trump did not write her own "thank you" notes to the White House residence staff who have cared for her and her family for the last four years, according to two sources with knowledge of the notes and Trump's handling of them.

The 80 or so staff who received the type written notes were under the assumption the first lady had written them herself. Instead, Trump tasked a lower-level East Wing staffer with writing them "in her voice," and she signed her name.

Several sources familiar with Trump's activities, or lack thereof in recent weeks, have described the first lady as being "checked out," that she "just wants to go home," and is "not sad to be leaving" Washington and the White House.

One of the sources discussing the "thank you" notes with CNN said it is customary for first ladies -- and occasionally presidents as well -- to write cards or short letters of gratitude to members of household staff, especially the ones whom they get to know extremely well. Much of the correspondence includes personal anecdotes and the letters become "cherished keepsakes" for the residence staff, says the source.

1. She should have someone help her fill out divorce papers

[Lil Mushakan]

that was handled in the pre-presidency prenup.

32. I Used To Think That Too

But she's been free to leave anytime. She stayed because she liked the perks, not necessarily DJT...I mean, really, who could?

But they're gone now, yesterday's news. He can't start a war or do anything else. The cavalry has arrived!

[Escurumbele]

36. I think she is as bad as he is...no pity for her

Glad she is gone, and I don't doubt that she will get a divorce soon, that is why she renegotiated her pre-nuptial agreement, so that she could escape at the end of the nightmare. I am sure there are a lot of very rich men out there looking for a trophy wife, she will get one of them.

[MontanaMama]

3. I'm surprised there were any thank you notes...

outsourced or not. The Traitor family are as low classed as you can get.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Not enough intelligence and literary function to write a three-sentence Thank You Note.

[groundloop]

8. I'm surprised she didn't plagiarize Michelle Obama on these notes as well as her speech

[twodogsbarking]

5. I feel sorry for

none of these pieces of fecal matter. Go back to Russia and take Agent Orange with you.

[Turin_C3PO]

6. She's a piece of garbage.

Just like that creature she’s married to.

[unblock]

7. "and write one for yourself while you're at it. say what you wish i had the decency to say."

[Harker]

9. "Have good focking life!" n/t

And typewritten....???????????


* Christmas day 2020.

[Gilbert Moore]

13. A forever keepsake

direct from a low level staffer.

[Lonestarblue]

15. I wonder if the permanent WH staff cheered as soon as Trump's helicopter lifted off.

Four years of temper tantrums, four years of making cheeseburgers and completely different food for Melania, four years of cleaning up after people who feel entitled to do anything they want. I suspect they were not an easy couple to work for. The Bidens will be a welcome change for them.

[barbtries]

16. i knew they all were sociopaths

with no empathy bones whatsoever, but their lack of grace and class is really coming through now. like a bull in a china shop.

[NEOBuckeye]

17. Fake to the end

And it's clear that she never wanted to be First Lady

[marble falls]

19. I give her a few points for not even bothering to fake it.

[jaxexpat]

37. An actress, she ain't. Wasn't hired for her talent.

[marble falls]

18. I guess writing wasn't required for any of her four degrees that got her a special visa ...

... I didn't even realize twerking on an aircraft wing in the seminude required a special visa or education.

[NHvet]

24. Maybe she couldn't decide which

one of the seven languages she supposedly can speak to write them in. I'll help her out, she can plagiarize it if she wants........."Hurz u fooking card! Who cares about focking cards anywaz? be best"

[marble falls]

38. I closed my eyes while saying it and I had an irreststable urge to slap my wife's hand away.

[Blue Owl]

20. Fuck that piece of shit has-been

What a wretch.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. Must be a talented staffer to write "in her voice". An expert in ESL.

I'm thinking Borat.

He could do it.

Except he'd have too much warmth.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Go home please. Slovenia is calling. What a useless woman.

[Arne]

23. Ha ha, 'Slovenia is Calling', the musical production.

[tonekat]

42. Mel Brooks, are you listening?

This thing's a gold mine!

[catbyte]

25. You don't expect her to stoop to actually giving a thought to "the little people," do you?

Dang, I'm so glad that thing is gone, too.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Is anyone surprised? At all?

A note from either of them would be an equally "cherished keepsake" if it was written on the back of an old utility bill envelope with a coffee ring on it.

[trueblue2007]

27. WE. the people JUST "just want YOU to go home," also. never come back.

[LeftInTX]

28. Why is this breaking news?

[marble falls]

39. Why is about 30% of what's posted on LBN being posted there (and all of that from three ...

... or four members)?

[Oscarthegreat]

29. Isn't it logical?

She arrived to the USA on a tourist visa, barely speaking any english. She immediately became a paid escort and the first few English words she learned were 'Leave money on dresser'. She was a sex worker, aka 'soft pro actress' and trump was a client who somehow got a US Immigration official to extend her stay based on an Einstein visa.

[TomDaisy]

30. once a tacky *****, always a tacky *****

[Politicub]

31. Uhm, okay. How is this breaking news?

[SunSeeker]

33. No surpise. She has no decency, and is barely literate. nt

[LudwigPastorius]

34. "Who gives a fuck" about thank you notes?

"I Really Don't Care. Do U?" - signed Squinty McSoulless

[samsingh]

35. it was that or copy Michelle Obama's letters

[riversedge]

40. gone gone gone. Good luck Florida

[twodogsbarking]

41. She sends Christmas cards in boxes of 24

with a note saying here's your fucking Christmas card for the next twenty four years.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

43. She is not capable of the kind of thought that would go into such a task

and writing a thankyou ,who would think she cares ? I mean really, actually writing in formal English ,do you really think she is capable?How many times would you think she had to listen to to dr. seuss having been read to her in order to make it look like she was reading to children ? Imagine melaina saying those words over and over again to get it so it seemed as though she was reading the words. English as it is spoken is not the same as it is in formal writing- she learnt to speak by listening and picking up the language as she moves along. Enough to get by. Most European people speak some of the language of the countries they visit, enough to get by. Writing it however is a very different thing. dr. seuss ! today you are you that is truer than true
you have brains in your head
you have feet in your shoes
you can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
Than she says to the kids - you have brain so use it . Smart right ? ! If there had been anything for Trump to gain in that, he will have assembled the staff ,brought in the news cameras for tv viewing and did the talking and the thankyous for show. But by than his show was over.

[Billytee]

44. What would you expect from her? She's married to Trump.

[truthisfreedom]

45. I wonder who 45 selected to pen his "generous" letter?

Or maybe he didn’t know about it?
