In an astonishing twist that has the media elite scrambling, Melania Trump decided to skip joining her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, during his visit to the White House to meet with President Joe Biden. Notably, Mrs. Trump offered her best wishes to her husband in his transition endeavors while taking a not-so-subtle jab at the media’s unrelenting misinformation machine, which has spun a web of deceit about their absence from the tea party with Jill Biden.
The statement from Melania’s office was nothing short of a masterclass in diplomacy mixed with a cheeky wink. It urged the public to be discerning about their news sources, clearly hinting at the “unnamed sources” that have become the go-to for narratives peddling falsehoods and half-truths. Instead of cozying up with Jill Biden for tea, Melania chose to focus on cheering from the sidelines as her husband makes his triumphant return to the Oval Office—hardly surprising, considering the circus the last few years have been.
The mainstream media, seemingly dismayed by this bold move, were quick to spin the narrative that Melania was “snubbing” Jill Biden. The Daily Mail, in an almost desperate attempt to create drama, referred to a tradition where the first lady welcomes her successor with a tea gathering. But they conveniently forgot that traditions tend to get tossed aside when the honor of the Oval Office is taken lightly, just as the previous first lady did with Melania back in 2016.
Melania Trump Sets the Record Straight About Not Meeting With Jill Biden https://t.co/XzOqzAbojr

This refreshingly unsubtle snub is underscored by the fact that Jill Biden reportedly extended friendly congratulations and invitations for a joint meeting to the Trumps. Apparently, the Trumps are enjoying their post-White House life so much that the idea of mingling with the Bidens, especially after a contentious election cycle, has lost its luster. After all, who wants to celebrate mediocrity when they’ve previously set the gold standard for leadership?
In the wake of these developments, the narrative from the left is scrambling for relevance, as it often does when faced with the undeniable popularity and charm of Melania Trump. The media’s fixation on framing the Trumps as isolationist snubbers only reveals their desperation to create conflict where none exists. Instead of lamenting the absence of Mrs. Trump from the White House tea party, perhaps the media should reflect on the contrast between a graceful exit and dragging a contentious election back into the living room for all to see. In the game of political chess, Melania has expertly planned her next move, while the opposition is left fumbling with their pawns.
