First lady Melania Trump, son Barron officially move into the White House

"Mrs. Trump and Barron, 11, accompanied the president from the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., where he spent the weekend, arriving via Marine One on the White House lawn shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday, according to the presidential pool report.

As the president exited the aircraft, he was followed by Barron, wearing a gray T-shirt reading "The Expert." Mrs. Trump was wearing a sleeveless white top and light brown culottes, and carried a matching Hermès Birkin bag, according to White House Wardrobe on Twitter, which tracks her fashion.

The couple entered the White House holding hands, the pool report said.

The family also was accompanied by Slovenian-born Melania Trump's parents, Viktor Knavs and Amalija Knavs, who have been living with their daughter and grandson in Trump Tower. Melania's parents are already familiar figures at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Fla., and are likely to be seen more often now at the White House. They are not expected to move in full-time, as former first lady Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, did."

She married her father!!

Poor Melania -- the two men who are closest to her are flaming assholes!!!

No wonder she married Trump -- the major male role model in her life was just like him!!

The videos show her holding his hand for a minute. Then she moved her purse to that hand so he couldn't grab her again. They did not enter holding hands.

I'm not at all holding up Barron for scorn, he's innocent of what his parents do, but I can't remember in my lifetime when there was a son under the age of 18 residing in the White House.

It's been young women for the decades I can remember: Amy Carter, Chelsea, the Bush twins (not sure of their ages though, at the time) and the Obama daughters.

They had to do the hand holding things because of how she swatted his hand away in Europe.. but she's still got that 'get me out of here' look on her face.

The relationship between the Con * his wife always looks made up and forced to me, and poor Barron. If he's even allowed friends in NY, h has nobody in DC. When I heard about Milania's skin care business taking off, I figured that was the perfect excuse for her to spend all her time on the road promoting it.

Consider me firmly kicked in the ass.
