The left is having fits at the proposition that they may not be able to mock and ridicule Melania Trump in her role as First Lady.

With reports that Melania is going to stay behind in New York City while the Trump’s youngest son, Barron, finishes out school for the year, it appears daughter Ivanka will play a major role in inaugural ceremonies and other First Lady-like duties.

Her and her husband, Jaren Kushner, have been house-hunting in Washington D.C., near the White House, Us Magazine reports.

HeatStreet reports that Ivanka has been “reorganizing” her clothing and accessories empire to take time off to help out in the Trump White House. She’s also in the hunt for a new CEO for her business empire.

All of this doesn’t sit well with leftists, who were salivating at the idea of making fun of Melania Trump as First Lady.

America is ready for a change, we have been told, and so we are installing a spiritually bankrupt reality TV producer in the Oval Office, along with his Cabinet of Horrors,” Salon Editor Erin Keane wrote, dripping with scornful sarcasm. “A Donald Trump presidency does not promise much on the shits-and-giggles front, but the infinite comedic possibilities of Melania Trump in official first lady duties? That has kept me going since November 9. Bye bye, promise of Naked Sushi State Dinners. We hardly knew ye, solid-gold Blue Room Christmas tree decorated with pots of Melania Luxe Night Caviar Complex C6 with Lipid Matrix Receptor Technology™. So sorry, “Vanderpump Rules” stars angling for jobs. Melania has taken a Bartleby hard pass on the gig. I predict we will see very little of the current Madame Trump over the next four years, or however long a term sentient Magic 8-ball Michael Moore decides to grant Donald, and this is a grim prospect.

Ivanka is apparently too “normal” to be properly ridiculed by the left.

If Melania is a Bond villain-in-waiting, Ivanka is an Instagram filter with hair. Used throughout her father’s campaign as the palatable, suburb-friendly face of what was otherwise a project run with all the subtlety and social graces of a Luca Brasi Memorial Fish Fry, Ivanka appears to be stepping into the role of President Trump’s appointed women-whisperer in an official capacity now. Ivanka will reassure a nation of anxious women, the reasoning goes, because Ivanka herself holds no surprises — if she promises you can #WearItToWork, you really can wear that blouse to work. If Ivanka hosts the White House Easter Egg Roll, she won’t try to order Fabergé. She will not propose wrinkle prevention for a national initiative, won’t throw out the Vermeil Room collection because it’s not real gold and won’t recoil in horror when Elmo pats her arm her during an obligatory “Sesame Street” appearance. She can give speeches to humanitarian groups that she does not have to first submit to TurnItIn.com. All of this makes Ivanka very presentable, very safe and very dull.

Something tells me the flagellating sad-sacks at Salon and other rags will manage to find a way to belittle Ivanka. I have great faith in their ability to snark their way to the bottom of the well.
