And yet, she married a rapist. Probably knowingly.
Who cares about morals when you have money
Remember when she wore a jacket with the words “I really don’t care. Do U?” when visiting a migrant child detention facility in Texas?
Do you really think she chose that shirt specifically to signal her disregard for those children, despite knowing exactly how the media would react? Or perhaps it was just an unfortunate coincidence? Does everyone close to Donald need to be equally terrible?
For all I know, while Donald was threatening North Korea with nuclear holocaust, Melania was campaigning against online bullying. She seems quite reasonable person to me.
As Catherine Ryan put it: "She's just an innocent gold digger who got in way over her head".
The jacket makes a pretty shitty statement on the face of it, no matter how you could present it, and the message is completely wrong to wear to a children's detention facility. I honestly believe she didn't think about any aspect of it except as a fashion statement, which is a good indication she shouldn't be a public representative.
At very minimum, if you assume it's an innocent mistake, wearing that jacket in that context shows shockingly bad judgment. But she had handlers that surely would've noticed this and advised her to change. So that means she wore it intentionally with complete disregard for the context. It shows she's a cold and cruel person, which isn't a surprise but does mean that she's not the reasonable person you think she is.
Do you really think she chose that shirt specifically to signal her disregard for those children...?
Yes. Absolutely. She is a conservative.
She claims the jacket was worn as a message to the "fake news media."
She seems quite reasonable person to me.
She... married.. trump?
Oh boy, here goes some whitewashing of Melania. Wait until she starts painting.
I know someone wanted by the HAGUE that loves painting!
Oh Donald, they're playing your wedding song...
Well . . . Jeez I hate to be the one to tell her this but
Melania is a self-admitted trophy wife (when asked if she would have married Donald if he wasn't rich, she responded that he would not have married her if she wasn't beautiful). Trump's base, especially the mysoginists, probably wouldn't care what she says anyway.
I honestly don’t understand anything about that woman. Like, it seems like she’d stare you right in the eye while eating your children, but then compliment you on your wonderful family and beautiful house on the way out.
Pick a lane!
Let's not look too deeply.
Someone's contacted her saying they'll give her a few million if she let's them write some bullshit memoirs.
No one has cared about the insignificant experiences of this vapid bimbo since she progressed from lamb to mutton, so the book needs some controversial opinions or it just won't sell.
I suspect that someone thinks this will make Trump seem more balanced on women's rights which is why they've leaked this prior to the book release.
That and a way to launder money into their campaign, easy to buy lots of copies of a worthless book
Any publicity is good publicity... Trump is very aware of that adage.
Pick a lane!
Why? I don’t think she ever wanted to be in the spotlight and having to pick a lane; she is pretty close for Donny hitting the bucket and her finally getting a slice of the grift pie.
I don’t think she ever wanted to be in the spotlight
Marrying trump seems like an odd choice then. Sure, he wasn't president at the time, but he was a big public figure.
Maybe she should endorse Kamala then.
If this happened it probably wouldn't affect much of anything, but it would definitely get a chuckle out of me.
Who gives a fuck what the former 3rd lady attempts to say?
I do when it totally goes against her own husband's campaign.
Nah the campaign has released this prior to the book release because they think it makes trump look more balanced on women's rights.
Remember, they're not trying to win your vote, but "low information" swing voters who will decide who to vote for based on whatever meme they happen to remember.
I agree... the fact that you have people arguing about it instead of talking about Trump wanting to literally shit on democracy is a good thing for him. He believes in all publicity being good.
You see, Melania, unlike most women that haven't whored themselves out to a mushroom dicked mango with more money than brains, you can choose where you want to live at will, and even if that place doesn't let you do what you want, you could be on a private jet to anywhere else that would.
You ridiculous clown.
And I, Oil Executive, say it is an imperative climate change does not destroy nature.
I actually have more respect for her now than in 2016, and it’s not cause of this headline.
She honestly stayed out of things waaay more than I thought, still a shitty person but better than ivanka.
She also apparently asked for $250k to agree to a CNN interview. I wonder if she's trying to stab Donald in the back in exchange for a golden parachute.
