There’s never been any love lost between the Obamas and the Trumps. Indeed, Barack and Michelle Obama looked noticeably downcast when they welcomed Donald and Melania Trump to the White House on Inauguration Day in 2016.

Now, Melania is speaking out to make a damning allegation against the Obamas. This claim indicates that the relationship between the two couples could be even frostier than we thought. If true, many would argue that it says all about just how classless Barack and Michelle really are.

Melania is claiming that the Obamas denied her “crucial” access to the White House prior to her family moving in. In her new memoir, she blamed “protocols and politics” for the Democrat couple’s decision to do this.

From Daily Mail:
“Unfortunately my plans to begin preparing the residence before the inauguration were disrupted by protocols and politics,’ Melania declared. The 54-year-old said it was “customary” for the incoming First Family to start the moving process when the outgoing one leaves for the holidays in December.

“I understand the importance of following tradition in this manner,” she assured readers. “Sadly our team did not receive the access we had requested to visit the White House residence in December.”

“Despite reaching out to the Obamas’ team and requesting a convenient time for our visit, we did not receive a response for weeks,” the former model, who lived in the White House from 2017 to 2021, claimed.

How typical of the Obamas.

It seems that if Melania claims are true, the Obamas were so bitter about their beloved Hillary Clinton losing the election to Donald that they wanted to make his family’s move to the White House as difficult as possible. This would be particularly heartless, since the Trumps were making this move with their then-10 year-old son Barron.

Barron Was Melania’s Main Priority

At the time that Melania was being ignored by the Obamas, she was spending weeks researching D.C. schools in the hopes of finding the best fit for Barron. Much of her determination to get the typical early access to the White House was to start creating a “comfortable and welcoming home” for her young son.

Sadly, the Obamas allegedly ignored Melania as long as they could. When they did finally give her the information about early access that she wanted, she reportedly found that it was “filled with errors.”

“This delayed the planning process, and I was only able to begin renovations after the inauguration, once we were already in the White House,” she said. “Those three weeks would have been crucial for taking measurements, gathering plans, and starting preparations.”

This also delayed Melania being able to set up a bedroom for Barron.

“He was the first young boy to live in the White House since John Kennedy Jr, and the children’s bedrooms had been decorated for girls for sixty years, so it was important to create a space that suited Barron’s interests,” Melania explained.

Disliking the Trumps and their politics is one thing. Making a major move for a 10 year-old boy harder because of these grievances is quite another. Indeed, if that Melania is saying is accurate, it would be a new low for Barack and Michelle Obama.

Given how classless the Obamas have behaved in the past, however, we can’t say that we’re surprised.

Key Takeaways: 

• Melania claims the Obamas purposely made her White House move difficult.
• The Obamas reportedly ignored Melania for weeks when she asked for customary early White House access.
• Melania was trying to find schools and make a nice home for her 10-year-old son at the time.
