As it turns out, Donald J. Trump and Margo Martin go way back to Trump’s White House days when he tapped her to be his press assistant. During her time at the White House, she often took to Instagram to document her professional life. On August 27, 2019, Martin posted a photo of herself smiling down from Air Force One. “Adventure of a lifetime,” she penned along with the American flag emoji. Then, on February 11, 2020, she celebrated one year at her presidential press gig with an official White House photo of herself with then-President Trump as he sat perched at his desk aboard Air Force One. “One incredible year down, a million unforgettable memories — and the best is yet to come,” she declared in the caption.
Alas, Martin’s White House dreams came grinding to a halt in November 2020 when Trump lost his bid for reelection. Still, Martin stuck by Trump through his final hour as POTUS. On January 19, 2021, it was Martin who called the final press lid for the Trump White House. Upon her exit from the White House, Martin celebrate her time with the Trump administration on Instagram (above), writing, “It’s impossible to adequately put into words—a goodbye that thoroughly thanks the people, memories and place that gave my life immeasurable purpose and happiness… You made this House a home.”
