White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders chastised the Washington Post on Monday for reporting a rumor that first lady Melania Trump resides with her parents in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
In a lengthy profile on the first lady published Monday, the Post noted “a persistent rumor [floating] around Washington that Melania doesn’t really live in the White House and stays in a house with her parents and Barron near his suburban Washington school.” Named White House officials denied the rumor to the Post on the record.
“What do you make of those rumors?” a reporter asked Sanders at a press briefing Monday.
“I make of the fact that just when you think the Washington Post can’t get things any more wrong, they do,” Sanders responded. “And that that is an outrageous and ridiculous claim.”
“The first lady lives here at the White House,” she continued. “We see her regularly, and I think that’s something that belongs in tabloid gossip, not on the front pages of the Washington Post and I hope that they’ll do better next time.”
Free Melania!
As I’ve been saying, I look forward to her moving (formally) out of the White House and hiring Michael Avenatti.
So it’s true, then?
Watching her “Be Best” premiere. Hmm…
She needs to practice the teleprompter routine.
…and when you’re explaining, you’re losing…
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not there are plenty of signals captured by video on different occasions that Melania and DT are on the outs. How could it be otherwise?
