But Melania Trump who leaves the White House without thanking the staff, do we want to talk about it?
While husband Donald Trump was "generous" in the letter he left to Joe Biden ...
She who knows if she will write a book like Michelle Obama or we will see her very soon on Netflix with a documentary of her all of her in which she will finally be able to explain the true meaning behind that famous Zara parka. Who knows if on her brand new Instagram profile she will post photos of her son Barron at the prom or the dedication of her for the wedding anniversary as a proud mother (but above all who knows if the divorce papers are already on the table. she advocates for her).
Melania Trump has left the White House, and she listen, she looks like she did it with a 32-tooth smile. A "liberation" (so much so that the American media joked about his probable vote for Joe Biden) with the desire to return to the (millionaire) life of before without always being under the radar, without poker face and the obligation of having to force to "forgive" her husband publicly (when she only wanted to throw the whole set of bone china dishes behind him).

A fact also confirmed by Jen Psaki, the veteran of communications that Joe Biden wanted as his new spokesperson, at his first press conference: "She is very generous and courteous. But it is a private letter, the president will disclose the content only if the author agrees. Which postpones the decision to a phone call between the two, which is planned. "
The first outgoing president to usher in the tradition of the message to his successor was Ronald Reagan, who had written to George H.W.
