New Photos of Melania Trump in Public

As Donald Trump made abundantly clear during his four years in office, he absolutely hated the job of being president. Oh, sure, he liked the power and the pomp and circumstance—though there wasn’t nearly enough for his liking—but the day-to-day business of running the country? Wherein he was supposed to actually listen to intelligence briefings and give a shit about the American people? No, thank you. Not for this guy. On the other hand, being president, as Trump learned the first time around, is a good way to avoid lawsuits, subpoenas, and being held responsible for pretty much anything. Plus, he’s an aspiring authoritarian who clearly likes the idea of being able to punish his enemies, and that’s a lot easier to do from the White House than it is from Mar-a-Lago.
