There is a tradition in the White House in which an existing First Lady invites a new First Lady to the White House to serve tea and advise on life in the White House ahead of the regime change. Ms. Melania also toured the White House at the invitation of Michelle Obama five years ago. However, Ms. Melania did not invite Jill to the White House. Like former President Trump, husband, who was absent from the inauguration of his successor president, he broke the old white House custom.
Ashley said in an interview that “it was terrible,” referring to the incident in which former President Trump supporters broke into Congress on the 6th. He said, “My father has been working for over 30 years, and it’s a sacred place, and I’m amazed that it happened.”
