In 2020, Melania refused the common courtesy of inviting Dr. Jill Biden over to the WH for tea and pleasantries during the transition. Now the miserable grifter has rejected Dr. Jill's gracious invitation.

"Melania Trump is not expected to attend the traditional White House meeting with first lady Jill Biden, sources familiar with her plans said.
.....
The sources cited a prior scheduling conflict for the former first lady related to her newly released memoir. One source said the decision had not been finalized.
Jill Biden extended Melania Trump the customary invitation last week as her husband also invited the president-elect to the Oval Office, a symbolic gesture to show the country and the world that there will be a peaceful transition of power and an implicit rebuke of Donald Trump, who refused Joe Biden the same meeting in 2020 as he contested that elections results. The two are set to meet Wednesday at 11 a.m., according to the White House.
There was discussion about encouraging Melania Trump to come to Washington for the meeting, as some members of the president-elects team felt it was important. But the incoming first lady, who spent her first four years in office redefining the role and what was expected, is laying an early marker indicating she will have even more autonomy the second time around.
Aside from 2020, it has been tradition for the current first lady to host the incoming first lady at the White House. In 2016, then-first lady Michelle Obama hosted Melania Trump for tea in the White Houses Yellow Oval Room and took her on a tour of the private residence.

(526 posts)why either of them would want to meet. Each has distain for the other. I see no point other than political theater for the public and the MSM getting news clicks it desperately wants.

(64,585 posts)It has nothing to do with pleasantries. It's about norms that are fundamental to a peaceful transfer of power. The Trumps break those norms constantly and stupid, vicious people cheer.

(16,685 posts)Kabuki (歌舞伎, かぶき is a classical form of Japanese theatre, mixing dramatic performance with traditional dance. Kabuki theatre is known for its heavily stylised performances, its glamorous, highly decorated costumes, and for the elaborate kumadori make-up worn by some of its performers. The term kabuki originates from a verb that was used to describe young samurai patrons, meaning "being weird" or "offbeat."[1]

Look who she married, peas in a pod. No class whatsoever.
Jill is above her.

(33,092 posts)Now that the election is over, that creature can take things back out into the open. Malaria will likely show her face at the White House as often as she did during the campaign. She already expressed that she has no interest in being First Lady again, as it is, and it's pretty obvious she has little interest in her marriage, either. Don't be surprised if Loomer is our ersatz First Lady in her place.
