On CNN I read an article about Melania Trump. According to inside knowledge, Melania Trump is considering a man over many other candidates for to become the new white house secretary. This role has traditionally been filled by a woman up until the first openly gay man was appointed by President Obama. The social secretary essentially does a lot of planning and managing the white house while serving as a conduit between the First Family and the residence staff. She has not been discussing it publicly but has been deliberating privately.

After becoming the official first lady Melania plans to live in New York with their 10 year old son Barron as he finishes school. It is unknown when she will decide to move in the White House. The social secretary will report to the First family but mainly the First lady. The first African American social secretary, Desiree Rogers, was appointed by President Barack Obama. She helped the family a lot with their transition but left after 14 months due to security issues.
