Incoming First Lady Melania Trump has officially chosen her chief of staff, which will be her longtime aide Haley Harrison. The promotion was announced on social media platform X on Friday. This is a good pick for Melania. She’s a notoriously private person and folks who were on her staff the last time around ended up capitalizing off of being close to her. The first lady needs a person she can completely trust to help her manage her soon-to-be very busy life. As if her life wasn’t already super busy before, right?
“Mrs. Harrison has maintained an integral role and exceptional leadership on the First Lady’s team over the past seven years,” read the statement published on X. “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.”
Harrison was one of the co-defendants named in the indictment of President-elect Donald Trump concerning the mishandling of classified documents case, according to ABC News.
Here’s more from The Daily Beast:
Named as Trump Aide 1 in the case, Harrison texted another Trump aide about moving the classified documents out of the business center at Mar-a-Lago to make more room for staff to work. “There is still a little room in the shower where his other stuff is,” Harrison allegedly wrote to another staffer. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting Trump on the classified documents case, is expected to wind down the investigation before Trump takes office. Melania’s former chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, spoke at the Democratic National Convention in July and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
One of the projects Melania Trump is working on is a partnership with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to help improve the president-elect’s diet, says a report from the Times of India. In fact, Mrs. Trump has started to cook family dinners at Trump Tower for both her husband and son Barron. She’s a big proponent of eating healthy, watching her own diet carefully, and is thus a big fan of RFK’s plan to help make serious changes to Trump’s eating habits.
The report then reveals that Melania has been keeping close tabs on Barron’s diet ever since he was a toddler. Well, now we know why he’s a giant, don’t we? He’s been eating healthy ever since he could waddle around Mar-a-Lago. Contrast that with the president-elect who, up to this point, just eats whatever he wants. And what he wants is McDonald’s. A lot.
Melania, however, also works out regularly in order to take care of her health. Very wise woman. She and RFK have been working on Trump to get him to eat more salads, vegetables, and lean protein instead of Big Macs and fried chicken.
Good luck!
