Kellyanne Conway has been described as "The True First Lady of Trump's America," according to the latest issue of New York magazine. Conway is on the cover with that caption. Whether you love her, hate her or love to hate her, Conway spends more time with Donald Trump than his own wife, Melania. That is because the real first lady has not moved into the White House yet. She and her 10-year-old son, Barron, are expected to move in June after Barron is out of school.
Conway as first lady
Conway has an office on the third floor of the West Wing that was once occupied by Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to Barack Obama.
Before then, it belonged to Karl Rove, senior adviser to George W. Bush. When Hillary Clinton's was first lady, she occupied that same office.
Other than President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, Conway is the only White House staffer who has Secret Service protection. That's because she was sent a white substance in the mail in addition to having received numerous death threats online. Even at the grocery store, people walk up to her and threaten her.
In the New York magazine, that goes on sale on March 20, there is an article telling how Conway's life has changed since she started working for Trump as his campaign manager and now as his White House adviser. She was the first woman to lead a winning presidential campaign in the United States.
What exactly is Kellyanne's job?
Kellyanne Conway’s job is to make President Donald Trump look good. She is the counselor to a man whose message changes from day to day and sometimes from hour to hour. The 50-year-old mother of four loves her job, and she loves to be in the spotlight. She is not the official first lady, but she has her own causes.
However, she has been so busy defending her boss that she hasn't had time to devote to them.
Melania is First Lady
Even though Melania Trump is officially the First Lady of the United States, she has not had an active role in that position so far. That is likely to change after she takes up residence in the White House in a few months.
People are wondering what she will say when she sees Kellyanne Conway on the cover of New York magazine with the headline that she is the true first lady.
