A source close to Melania Trump stated in an interview with The New York Post, "Melania Trump is not going to the White House. Jill Biden's husband (President Biden) allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to rummage through Melania Trump's lingerie drawer." This incident shows that the long-standing tradition of protocol and courtesy among First Ladies has been broken. "I SAW DISTURBING THINGS"According to a report by Habertürk, advisors close to Donald Trump indicated that Melania Trump does not see Jill Biden as a person worth meeting. "Jill Biden's husband allowed the FBI to search my clothing drawer. The Biden family is disgusting," she expressed her reaction. Advisors to the Trump family stated that Melania's anger on this matter stems from the searches that extended to her son's room during the raid. Melania's statement after the raid, "I saw disturbing things that no one would want to see," also confirms this situation. IS THE WHITE HOUSE TRADITION BEING BROKEN?After Joe Biden won the 2020 elections, the Trump family broke the traditional transition period at the White House by not inviting Biden. Now, Melania's refusal of this visit further deepens the tension between the two presidential families. Although Trump and Biden will hold their traditional post-election meeting in the Oval Office tomorrow, it is clear that this situation will not reflect among the First Ladies. WHAT DOES MELANIA'S ATTITUDE MEAN?Melania Trump's refusal of the White House invitation is seen not only as a personal protest but also as a reflection of the Trump family's overall stance against the Biden administration. The investigations initiated by the Biden administration against Trump, particularly the Mar-a-Lago raid, have created deep anger within the Trump family. Melania's reaction may also pave the way for Trump's rhetoric targeting the Biden administration in a potential 2024 presidential campaign. This situation once again shows that the long-standing protocol and tradition of courtesy among First Ladies has been disrupted. This tension has become a symbolic reflection of the internal political polarization in the United States. Melania's decision may open the door to new discussions in the future as part of the Trump family's stance in the political arena.
