As we’ve reported, soon-to-be First Lady (again) Melania Trump is declining an invite to the White House to have tea with current First Lady Jill Biden. Their husbands, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, meanwhile, are scheduled to meet Wednesday.

While it’s hardly surprising that Melania isn’t interested in appearing with Jill, considering that Jill’s husband called the president-elect’s supporters “trash,” it turns out, according to one report, that there’s one very specific reason she is snubbing Mrs. Biden: the FBI’s August 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid in the DOJ’s (since dismissed) classified documents case.
Melania Trump declined an offer to head to the White House Wednesday and meet with Jill Biden, citing the Biden administration’s raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.
“She ain’t going,” a source familiar with Melania’s decision told The Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting,” the source said.
“Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet,” the source added.
Mar-a-Lago is her home, yet the Biden Department of Weaponization Justice felt the need to send armed agents to rummage through her things. It’s among the many reasons we couldn’t be happier to help send Joe packing to Delaware.

Another reason she might not want to chat with Jill Biden: last time she met with a sitting First Lady, Michelle Obama treated her like “trash,” as our Rusty Weiss reports:
Remember when she met with Michelle Obama in 2016? Melania graciously offered Obama a large Tiffany frame as a gift, something an ungrateful Michelle consistently complained about because it supposedly broke protocol.
During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show, Mrs. Obama whined, “I mean, this is like a state visit, so they tell you that you’re going to do this, they’re going to stand here.”
“Never before do you get this gift, so I’m sort of like OK. … What am I supposed to do with this gift?” she said.
I’m sure Melania could have come up with a suggestion or two.
Melania has spoken of her disgust at the FBI raid before: in September, while promoting her book titled simply “Melania,” she posted to X:

The raid serves as a warning, she said:
I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America. The FBI raided my home in Florida. And searched through my personal belongings.
This is not just my story. It serves as a warning to all Americans. A reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.
After the way the Bidens have treated the Trumps, it’s no surprise that Melania has no interest in faking nicety with the vindictive and bitter Mrs. Biden. To paraphrase Shakespeare, “Hell hath no fury like a woman whose dresser has been searched.”
