Melania Trump tells Michelle Obama she doesn’t need her advice: 'Mrs Trump is a strong, independent woman'
First Lady Melania Trump responded to former first lady Michelle Obama's jab that she hadn't reached out to her after shifting to the White House, saying that she is a "strong and independent woman" and only seeks advice from her professional team.
Melania Trump released a statement through her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham on Tuesday after Michelle Obama, in an interview, stated that the First Lady had not reached out to her even though she had offered to help.
"Mrs. Trump is a strong and independent woman who has been navigating her role as First Lady in her own way. When she needs advice on any issue, she seeks it from her professional team within the White House," Grisham, in a statement, said. The statement issued by the First Lady appears ironic considering a significant part of her 2016 speech at the Republican Convention appeared to have been borrowed from the former first lady.
