Melania Trump, the wife of President-elect Donald Trump, has announced that she is appointing her longtime aide Hayley Harrison as her Chief of Staff.
Melania will begin her second stint as First Lady of the United States in January when Donald Trump is sworn into his 2nd term as the 47th President of the United States.
Melania Trump issued a statement praising Harrison stating that she "has maintained an integral role and exceptional leadership on the First Lady’s team over the past seven years.”
The statement continued saying, "She has a strong understanding of White House operations, and as Chief of Staff, Mrs. Harrison will oversee and manage the East Wing’s team while strategically liaising with other parts of government."
Melania Trump is set for a big role in the White House as she is no longer primarily concerned with raising her son, Barron Trump, who has now graduated high school and is going to college. Harrison will play a key role in aiding Melania in her plans.
Now that she has more time for herself and her plans, Melania Trump is set to have an impactful time as she is once again America's First Lady.
Insiders have confirmed reports that Melania Trump will likely not be living full-time in Washington D.C. at the White House. She still plans on being very active but will likely be splitting time between D.C. and Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Melania Trump has done things differently than her predecessors as she has kept a smaller staff and taken up less space in the White House.
During an appearance on Fox News, Melania stated that she is "not anxious because this time is different. I have much more experience and much more knowledge."
No amount of experience could have prepared Melania Trump for what she would experience in her first term as First Lady in her husband's historic first term.
It was open season for the Trump family after the 2016 presidential election and Melania Trump was torn between her duties as First Lady and protecting her family, especially her young teenage son. Now Melania is ready to take on the nastiness that will only intensify in the coming years.
Melania Trump was busy pushing initiatives to combat cyberbullying during her first term as First Lady especially after Barron Trump was attacked by leftists who speculated that he was autistic because of his quiet nature.
She will likely continue those efforts with an added emphasis on combatting political violence thanks to the attacks on her family from the left.
Melania Trump has already sent strong messages on these issues as she turned down a transition meeting invitation from First Lady Jill Biden and directly called out the Biden family for their attacks on the Trump family.
Melania is going to be doing things differently and will be throwing punches just like her husband will be for the next four years. She will need a dedicated and strong team around her and that will begin with Harrison.
