Melania Trump made a subtle dig toward the Obamas, claiming they “withheld” information from her husband during his first term in the White House that ultimately made the transition

Michelle and Barack Obama made Melania and Donald Trump's first move into the White House 'challenging,' the former model revealed in a new interview

Melania Trump returned to Washington, D.C., in style this week.

On January 20, 2025, Michelle Obama skipped Donald Trump's inauguration. Instead, she took to Instagram to honor MLK Day, and encouraged her followers to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "legacy of service."

Second Lady Usha Vance is everything Vogue claims to champion. But the magazine has become all about naked partisanship and looks like a de-facto arm of the DNC.
