How to book Trump and Melania for parties? Filling out a form will let you have them at your birthday or wedding
After former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump officially launched a website, '45 Office', people are learning more about how easily fans can book the ex-occupants of the White House for a quick appearance at their birthdays and weddings.
Despite having lost the 2020 election and limited to being a one-term president, Trump knows that his image and brand remain significant, especially among his supporters who would be delighted to have him and his wife show up to private parties and events in the future. And being a businessman, he is always finding avenues to cash in on his popularity.

The latest effort comes in form of the website, which states, "The Office of Donald J Trump is committed to preserving the magnificent legacy of the Trump Administration, while at the same time advancing the America First agenda. Through civic engagement and public activism, the Office of Donald J Trump will strive to inform, educate, and inspire Americans from all walks of life as we seek to build a truly great American Future. Through this office, President Trump will remain a tireless champion for the hardworking men and women of our great country — and for their right to live in safety, dignity, prosperity, and peace."
Visitors to the website can also request scheduling for the participation of the former president and his wife as well as request a greeting for a "special occasion" by simply filling out a form. The page, which deals with “scheduling”, invites users to list down their requirements in the relevant boxes provided.
"Thank you for your interest in inviting Donald Trump or Melania Trump to participate in your event. In an effort to ensure that your invitation is received in a timely manner, it is strongly recommended that you submit your request using the form below. Due to the volume of invitations President and Mrs Trump receive, we will not provide status updates. Thank you for your understanding," the page says, while the page for "greeting" requests also reads something similar, thanking people for their "interest in receiving a greeting from Donald J Trump and Melania Trump for your special occasion. Please allow up to 6 weeks for processing of your request."
Among the questions to be answered are “Will Media be Present?” and whether any “Notable Attendees” are expected. Reasons for requesting a greeting are listed as: “Birthday (adult), Birthday (child), Birthday (veteran), Military retirement, Wedding, Wedding anniversary, Condolence, New baby welcome, Graduation, Girl Scout gold award and Eagle Scout award.” Users are also offered the chance to “share your thoughts” with the former first couple, who claim to still “enjoy hearing from the American people”.
The 45 Office website also offers personalized greetings. Although it does not say if Trump is charging for the service or for scheduled personal appearances.
