Whatever negative comments are made about her, we do not understand first hand what life is like with Trump. Or the actual dynamics of the relationship. He brooks no resistance. She probably doesn't think she has any freedom to object to anything he says or does, or to take some independent action. Perhaps she feels thoroughly intimidated. We don't know what kind of prenuptial agreement she has signed onto either. I don't think there has ever been an official divorce of a sitting president and his wife, although there have been plenty of estrangements, like with FDR and JFK. She is definitely not a "Princess Diana" type.

She is the embodiment of an opportunist, who came here to exploit what she could, enrich herself by any means she could. She wasn't out there like the rest of immigrants picking berries - she was out there courting the rich and famous because she was a model - but never aspired to become a model citizen. She is a traitor to everything America offered her, and she gave back nothing - just looking to enrich herself more with a worthless book she didn't even write - because she doesn't have the intellect to do so. Both she and Trump himself are the ultimate grifters - traitors to America to the end.

Is she strolling through the red witch forest?

Reading this article, I do recall the slogan 'Be Best' that Melania Trump had put out. It occurred to me that she had never advocated any specific goals. 'Be Best', but at what? I will admit that I have had some suspicions about her, though.

Let these deluded monsters dream of winning. All the more satisfying to see them buried in a landslide win by Harris/Walz. Right wingers own the airwaves by a large majority, but WE are the majority of voices from the people of this country. Never repeat the right wing owned news talking points…never.

I think we should be able to revoke her "Einstein visa" just like we need to revoke the citizenship of the space nazi Leon. If you refuse to uphold the ideals of this nation and actively fight against them as an immigrant you can leave and make room for the people who want to love this country.

I find her and her actions to be repellent. She has honestly become uglier and uglier in her appearance as she has become more seen.

Whoever let her go forward with “Be Best” as a slogan for her “mission” while her husband was occupying the White House must have been having a laugh at her expense. The words themselves highlighted her ineptitude with English (after how many years in the U.S.?), and there were absolutely no visible campaigns to diminish online bullying. How could there be when one of the biggest online bullies in the world is her own husband?

The destruction of the Rose Garden just was perverse and showed a really nasty woman. The entire time Melancholia spent in the White House, she was disgraceful.

She took the beautiful rose garden by Jackie Kennedy and turned it into a mausoleum. If I were Jill Biden, I would have ripped it apart on day one and restored it to its original beauty. It is disgusting what was done, just like those ugly red triangles she called Christmas trees she put in the White House. The woman has no taste - obviously, she married Trump. I write about all things gov't and law on The Leal Edition on Substack. Join me there!

I believe the role she is fulfilling is the one Putin gave her. I'm pretty sure her father worked for the KGB when she was young in Slovenia, and even when he lived in the White House. Can you make this stuff up? Trump puts Benedict Arnold to shame and so does his wife. She doesn't care about the people in the US, she only wants to live off the money her husband steals.

I read that Melania’s father was a member of the Communist Party - that he had to be in order to have a job yet didn’t personally have those beliefs. But who knows if that’s true! However I would think that Melania would have been influenced by Communism just from growing up in Slovenia.

As to her role as First Lady - it seemed to me it was to show off her ultra expensive clothes. I remember when the Trumps were in France I read the description of a floral mid-length coat she wore. I saw her wearing it on TV. It was announced the coat cost $57,000!!!! I was astonished. It was pretty but who does that except for vanity! Eye candy yes. Is she insecure?

And her assistant went to her during the J6 and asked Melania if she wanted to make a statement by Tweet. Melania said NO! That’s when the assistant decided to quit. It may have been Stephanie Grisham.

I'm sure her father had ties to Communism, how else would he have gotten ahead. In a repressive society like that - they are all plants, to corrupt America, and in a shameful way at that.

What a powerful and truthful article! As a minor addition, we can add her Rose Garden fiasco, her insulting Christmas trees, and her comments about Christmas (not my holiday but not respectful on her part). Melania Trump is a stain on the history of this country's past First Ladies. trump should never be allowed to enter the White House again, and we don't need his disgrace of a First Lady to join him.

Laurie Woodward Garcia, Bravo 👏🏽 Thank you for this honest, thorough appraisal of this woman. She, in her own way, is as much a disgrace as her husband. Shameful!

The “I don’t care” jacket spoke volumes at the time in telling us who she wanted us to see- a spoiled rich woman with her head in the clouds with no knowledge or concern for conditions on the ground. She is married to Trump so we can’t know her personal hell from narcissistic abuse even as we can see her values and lack thereof. I am an avid news reader and watcher and I’ve never heard her speak or seen her write anything on an issue in all these years. I always thought that was weird for a First Lady even if she is an immigrant married to someone who hates other immigrants and who is bent on destroying the government rather than aiding the nation’s population. She chose to stay in line, whatever that marital mandate was. Seems like she filled the role Trump gave her pretty well- quiet eye candy for his ego. And another contradiction for the ages to unravel.

As I am the highly intelligent, well educated, and college educated deaf woman being bi-lingual ( English and ASL) as the Gallaudet University graduate with B.A. in double- majors of Biology and Chemistry in Class of 1981 in Washington, DC, I am the lifetime member of NAD ( National Association of the Deaf since my joint on June 1982, and the Deaf Rights and Disability Rights activist being much experienced in my involvement in the Disability Rights movements in Washington, DC from early 1970’s until early 1980’s in a fact.

So that, I really acknowledge that the “ madman” Ex- President Donald Trump, First Lady Melina and Trump Family all are the dirty, corrupt , ugly, spoiled rich, greedy, unemphatic, insensitive, toxic, and selfish Rats with smaller brains in the corrupt pack system! All of them all, are sickest, snobbish, evil, callous, dumbfounded, and narcissistic playing their game by saving lives in “ dirty tricky and trashy politics!— They all have betrayed our America, our democracy, and all of our innocent lives of the American people. All of them are shameful!—It’s Outrageous Outcry from the strong loud voices across our country!— VOTE IN BLUE!— TAKE ON ACTION and CONTINUE TO FIGHT BACK TO RECLAIM OUR Democracy IN OUR AMERICA WITHOUT GIVING-UP NOR QUITTING UNTIL WE SHALL OVERCOME WITH ONCOMING VICTORY.— HaTikvah is: The Hope ( Hebrew).— Better to vote in BLUE.
