Melania Trump got a White House staffer to write her thank you notes – to White House staffers
In another break with tradition from the Trumps, the former president and First Lady didn’t invite the incoming couple to tour the White House – or even genuinely concede Trump’s loss of the election.
Not that it mattered, with the new president having been the VP.

Trump asked Melania to add her farewell to his.
OMG, he's asked Melania to speak. Surely this is the moment for seven of them to appear and do a dance routine.

Leaving with the lowest approval rating of any First Lady in US history, to match her husband’s record-breakingly low score, Twitter’s goodbye wasn’t dripping with sadness.

To put the top hat on all that, it seems that, rather than add the personal touch, Melania Trump offloaded the task of writing thank you notes to the staff.
CNN reporting that Melania Trump had an assistant write thank you notes to the White House household staff (cooks, housekeepers, butlers), signing Mrs. Trump’s name to the letters, as if the First Lady wrote the notes herself. pic.twitter.com/KCMAZPPdAg

Cleverly avoiding the vexing question of whether they actually had names.

Protocol is a tricky thing. For example: are we supposed to act as if we're at all shocked at this news at this point? Please advise, one wishes not to offend.

I don't care. We know they're bad people. Let's get off this miserable addiction and move on. Prosecute them for the big stuff, to hell with everything else.

However glad you’re feeling that the orange man-baby has gone, it probably goes double for Mrs. Trump.

Which raises one major issue.
If Trump and Melania get divorced who gets custody of Lindsey Graham?

Rumour has it that Ted Cruz has a spare room.
