Melania certainly had no intention ofstaying behind. Among other issues, friends suggested that she was still furious about his fireside Christmas Evechat with a seven-year-old boy, during which Trump asked the boy if he still believed in Santa. "Melania didn'tthink that was funny," said one aide. Trump was "clearly a guy who had never dealt with a seven-year-old."In an empty White House, Trump's personal secretary, 28-year-old Madeleine Westerhout, brought hispapers and call sheets from the West Wing up to the residence, finding him, she told friends, in his underwear.And herein, suddenly, was another subplot.Westerhout had been the elevator girl in Trump Tower during the transition. The comely young woman ferryingdignitaries and job-seekers up to the President-elect soon became something of a meme herself Bannon recallednoting that Trump took a particular interest in her. A leering Trump kept repeating, "She's got a way about her,"his signature, and creepy, stamp of approval for young women.Now the president was telling friends that he wasn't staying at the White House because of the shutdown—hewas staying because he was "banging" Madeleine.Shutdown bravado? Locker room talk? Or all part of a new alternative reality that only he seemed to be livingin?"HOUSE OVERSIGHT 030880
