Melania Trump Attends FEMA Briefing Without Her Husband and People Have Questions

The first spouse, whether woman or man, has no official duties nor title in the United States. There are a million good policy reasons to keep it that way. If one absolutely must put a family member in government, make it official and appoint a spouse to a specific position for specific purposes. The spouse is not supposed to simply take on duties that belong to the presidency under any circumstances.

This tweet below should leave us all breathless and afraid.

Trump wants a government where his daughter is a senior adviser who speaks in official meetings, his son-in-law is perhaps the second most powerful person in the White House and runs programs, his kids work as campaign officials, with their wives and girlfriends getting paid, and now Trump’s idiot, spoiled brat, unsmiling, miserable, “wife,” is being “briefed” by FEMA on hurricane preparedness. In other words, Trump is running this like the Trump organization, a small, tight, criminal, family enterprise with as few people involved as possible.

Like everything “Trump,” the event didn’t happen until she advertised it with self-satisfied tweets.

Utterly absurd and dangerous.

They’re trying to normalize government by family, the “most loyal” people Trump can find. We citizens are supposed to accept the Trump family as our “bosses” because their power flows from their relationship to Trump, nothing else.

Oh, we got a photo shoot as well!

She was “updated” on the plans to “keep people safe.” That is not her job. Someday, when we have a man as first spouse, it will not be “his” job. Americans rejected royal government over 200 years ago, and yet Trump seems intent upon rolling it out now. It is part “royalty,” part dictatorship, government brought to you by Saddam, the modern dictator who put his family in positions above the people and ruled with total authority.

It is happening here, and even though incidents like this may seem somewhat “amusing” because she’s so far over her model-head that she can’t see a horizon, it is actually far more dangerous.

It pissed people off:

That’s the problem, no one knows:

That would be better than pretending to have a role.

No, she can tackle on-line bullying, even if she’s the ultimate hypocrite, because that’s the unofficial cause she chose. She is not allowed to morph that cause into wholly unrelated stuff such a “being briefed” on “how to keep Americans safe.”

This is why the cult will bow to whatever Trump and his family want. This is why they will allow a dictatorship or monarchy, because it makes liberals mad and that’s the only policy they care about, their freedoms be damned.

UPDATE: We changed the headline from “Melania Trump Leads FEMA Briefing Without Her Husband and People Have Questions” to “Melania Trump Attends FEMA Briefing Without Her Husband and People Have Questions.” It was pointed out to us that while Melania was seated at the head of the table, she didn’t lead the meeting. She only attended, so we changed the headline to reflect that change, as we want to stay factual and provide 100% true facts. We still stand behind the fact that she had absolutely no business being there in the first place.

Peace, y’all
