No one would care if this headline was about Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, or Michelle Obama because we expect first lady's to do stuff like this.

Who cares what people "expect"? First Lady is not a public office. Melania, Laura, Michelle etc. are private citizens like you and me. Assigning certain duties based on who they're married to strikes me as a creepy monarchical relic tbh.

I don't know and don't care why Melania is doing this, but still, good for her.

Let her actually use the office of FLOTUS for something cogent and worthwhile, then we'll talk.

I for one am simply happy she was able to read the book.

There is no such thing. Did you read my post?
