I think it's distant for a number of different reasons, but I think they probably have grown apart and I think her attitude is she's not going to embarrass him. Um he's the president of the United States and she will serve as first lady. Uh but I think it's pretty clear that they're not living together. But if you look at the East Wing of the White House in terms of the way traditionally the East Wing, I mean I mean the East Wing's not there anymore, I mean they blew it to pieces, but I'm saying the let's say the first lady's office. Uh her office is virtually non-existent. It's not staffed. And she's not working on projects like she was in the first term.
I'm Joanna Coles, this is the Daily Beast Podcast, and welcome to a special four-part episode on Trump's women. Who is here to give her thoughts and help guide us through it? None other than a woman who has made you laugh. When she's written for The Simpsons, when she created Sabrina the Teenage Witch, when she wrote for David Letterman, and when she created that moment at the end of President Obama's last White House correspondence dinners speech where he does The mic drop. I'm talking about Nell Scavell, contributor to the Daily Beast brilliant writer. Her memoir, Just the Funny Parts, is one of the best books I've ever read about Hollywood. And she's here to talk about well, she's here to talk about Trump's women.
Uh ан for the first episode. Where's Melania? Where's his wife? And where is his first daughter, Ivanka Trump? Nell, welcome. Welcome. We're we're going inside Trump's women. We're going inside. Sounds a little rude, but It sounds rude and yet is it? We're going inside Trump's women. But before we get into it, we're joined by Anthony Scarimucci to talk about Melania. Where is the first lady? We know she's only turned up 38 days so far this year, which isn't very much. And for a first lady, it's nothing. Michelle Obama had two and a half dozen staff. And did between 150 and 200 events a year. Laura Bush did at least a hundred and twenty events a year, as did Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden. So
And Melania has five people on staff. Has five
people on staff. I
mean it's funny because it's like she works the holidays and then gets the rest of the time off. That's very good. Not a bad deal.
I like Easter. I don't like who fucking likes Christmas. I like Easter. Easter bunny roll. Fuck Christmas. Yeah, fuck Christmas. So Anthony, let's come to you. Anthony Scaramucci, thrilled to have you joining us. You've seen the first relationship up close. Why is Melania missing?
I haven't had a conversation with Mrs. Trump in a long time, but I I think. The team that came in, the family unit that came in to Trump won, didn't like it. I think they didn't like the blistering in Washington. They didn't like the three hundred and sixty degree firing squad. I don't think they liked the spotlight that was put on them. It wasn't really a spotlight. It was almost like If you were a mean kid, let's say you were Howard Lutnick growing up, I guarantee Howard Lutnick had a magnifying glass out and he was like burning up ants, right? I mean that's that's what they were doing, you know what I mean? And so they were under that magnifying glass and they were getting hit with that r sunlight. And it was really bad and I don't think they liked it.
And I think that uh when he ran again, they all more or less said, Okay, that you know, that one was on all of us, this one's on you and he didn't care. Uh and you can like Trump or dislike Trump, but you know, it would be hard not to admire his tenacity. And you'd have to stipulate and you guys could disagree with me, but This is the greatest political comeback in US history. I don't know of any other Grover Cleveland's comeback wasn't like this. I can't point to anything. I mean, some people will say, well, Lincoln lost to Stephen Douglas in the Senate race and then he rose to the presidency. It's very different. This guy was torched on January sixth and seventh, and uh he was on the ash heap of history.
And he's back in the White House and he's there without his family.
