   Uh oh.   Why not?   I wonder if Trump  will take a Valium before  she speaks.

   Melania Trump's RNC speech not vetted by the West Wing   
      
   The speech Melania Trump will deliver from the Rose Garden tonight (or the   
   East Room, if it rains) was not vetted by anyone in the West Wing, Stephanie   
   Grisham confirms to CNN, nor did anyone on the President’s staff approve the   
   content.   
      
   It is unusual for a first lady to deliver a speech of this magnitude to this   
   large an audience without it being vetted by anyone in the West Wing,   
   specifically to monitor for messaging alignment.   
      
   This year, as she did in 2016, Melania Trump shunned the help of professional   
   speechwriters.   
      
   Most of her remarks were written by a senior aide, says a campaign official,   
   who tells CNN Trump spent several hours last night in the East Wing rehearsing   
   and making final adjustments to the copy.
