First lady Melania Trump today escalated her war against former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, issuing a scathing personal attack dressed up as a White House press release on child bullying. The public missive comes just three days after the Department of Justice sued Wolkoff on behalf of the president’s wife, claiming she violated a nondisclosure agreement by publishing a tell-all book, Melania and Me: […]

The US Department of Justice claims the author of “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady” breached her non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and that she failed to submit a draft copy of the book for government review. The DoJ filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against 49-year-old Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former White House aide and close friend of first lady […]
The Department of Justice has filed a complaint against Melania Trump’s former best friend for not submitting a draft of her tell-all book to the federal government for pre-publication review. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the planner of President Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, penned Melania and Me about the sudden souring of her relationship with the first lady. The look into Melania’s inner circle painted an unflattering portrait […]
“Google it,” she says, her Eastern European accent pronounced with each exhalation. “Annie Leibovitz, she shot the porn hooker. And she will be one of the issues September or October.” Recently leaked recordings between the first lady and her former best friend reveal a catty side to the usually reserved Melania Trump. Candidly referring to Mr. Trump’s alleged mistress, Stormy Daniels, as the “porn hooker,” Melania […]
On Monday night, The Daily Show focused on one rather hilarious story that’s been overshadowed by President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, as well as several U.S. senators and Republican staffers contracting the novel coronavirus, likely during a superspreader event at the White House—this after ignoring social-distancing guidelines, refusing to wear masks, and generally downplaying the severity of the virus for a number of months. “He […]
“It has been a genuinely extraordinary week for the White House,” said John Oliver at the top of Sunday night’s Last Week Tonight. There’s been so much chaos this past week that the HBO host said they didn’t have time to even address the $750 Trump paid in income tax for two years (as revealed by The New York Times), Melania Trump “essentially saying ‘fuck Christmas’” […]
On Sunday night, Desus & Mero, the most underrated late-night hosts in the game, opened their show with a round of laughter. “Trump got that ‘rona!” exclaimed The Kid Mero. The duo then filled their audience in on how President Trump and first lady Melania Trump came down with the novel coronavirus this week—and this after The New York Times revealed that Trump was not only […]
The experimental drug President Trump received at the White House hours after being diagnosed with COVID-19 was provided under a “compassionate use” program usually reserved for patients who exhaust other treatment options, the manufacturer said Friday. News of the president consuming the so-called “polyclonal antibody cocktail,” made by New York-based pharma Regeneron, broke around the same time the administration announced Trump was being taken to Walter […]
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wanted to talk about the economy in must-win Michigan. Instead, he started with an announcement about the status of his health. “I got two COVID tests this morning,” said Biden, who was wearing a mask while speaking outdoors in Grand Rapids on Friday afternoon. “One in Delaware and one by the former White House doc who came up, and everything’s cleared.” […]
The news that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump contracted COVID-19 serves as a reminder: This is why having an irresponsible man-child as president is a bad thing, irrespective of everything else. It’s not that the president tested positive; that could be any president. But just two-and-a-half days ago, at the presidential debate, this president, who went months without ever wearing a mask, said […]
First Lady Melania Trump doesn’t much care for the holidays at the White House, according to a newly released recording of a private conversation. In a secretly taped July 2018 exchange shared by her former close friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, she said: “I’m working like—my ass off—on Christmas stuff, you know? Who gives a f–k about Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, […]
The Department of Justice and lawyers acting on behalf of Melania Trump attempted to block an explosive tell-all book from the First Lady’s former close friend and adviser, according to documents reviewed by The Daily Beast. On July 7th The Daily Beast reported Stephanie Winton Wolkoff, who played a key role in planning the 2017 inauguration and is now assisting a federal probe into it, would […]
Bette Midler evidently was not a fan of Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night. As the First Lady took the stage and delivered a speech CNN pundits would later praise for its empathy, the entertainment legend mocked her for being an “illegal alien” who “can’t speak English”—insults she later said Trump has more than earned, given the racism both she and the […]
On Monday night, The Late Show’s Melania Trump—played brilliantly as always by Laura Benanti—previewed her big RNC speech by offering up this endorsement of her husband: “If there is one thing that’s absolutely clear to me, it is this: Despite our many differences we must come together for four more years of Donald Trump.” When Stephen Colbert asked her if that was from her upcoming speech, […]
Immediately after Melania Trump’s largely humanizing and empathetic speech at Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention, the analysts and hosts at CNN were effusive with their praise for it, applauding the first lady for expressing sympathy for victims of the coronavirus pandemic and addressing racial unrest. “The first lady doing something that I don’t think that any other speaker has done in the two days of the […]
Amid a global pandemic that has killed 150,000 Americans and is slowing like a train that just started to choo choo over a cliff, 100 days from an election that is the fifth consecutive most important election in our lifetimes, first lady Melania Trump will begin the important work of renovating the Rose Garden to more closely resemble its original 1960s design. Finally! This is what […]
“It’s ridiculous—absurd allegations that have absolute no bearing in truth. Have yet to see the book, but it is a book of falsehoods,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said of Mary Trump’s memoir about her uncle Don the president, Too Much and Never Enough. Kayleigh didn’t need to read the book in order to dismiss it completely, which in itself might seem a bit ironic […]
We all have those friends who continue to live their lives online, sharing their brunch and July 4th cookouts, ignoring the disastrous backdrop of a global pandemic and nationwide protests. Count Melania and Ivanka Trump among such social media showboats. Echoing Trump’s new strategy for handling the coronavirus crisis—“we need to live with it”—both women used the holiday weekend to parade some flashy clothing after months […]
President Donald Trump went postal on Twitter Monday morning over the threat he claims mailed ballots pose to the integrity of U.S. elections—but his family seems to have never gotten the message. The commander in chief fired off another social media fusillade against the practice of submitting ballots through the post, which he has previously labeled “horrible,” “terrible,” and “corrupt,” as well as “dangerous,” “fraudulent,” and […]
On Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert will host John Bolton for his first late-night interview since the publication of his new book, The Room Where It Happened. But on Monday, he scored an even bigger guest: first lady Melania Trump. Well, actually it was actress Laura Benanti, who returned to The Late Show to show off her expert Melania impression. The fact that she was performing from […]
Donald and Melania Trump may not sleep in the same bedroom, as has been reported time and time again, but Washington Post correspondent Mary Jordan reveals one thing the first lady shares with her husband: “modeling tips.” If the president looks disheveled and bloated in every photo and walks with a rickety gait, it is not for lack of Melania trying, Jordan writes in the new […]
