When I read this somewhere else I actually found it very complimentary of Melania. It was the headline that was completely misleading.
Mrs. Macron was talking about the differences in being a French first lady vs. any American first lady. She also went on to say what fun Melania was. That was my take.
VERY misleading headline.
true. I thought Macron’s mom was implying Melania was 2 stupid “ she can’t do ANYTHING! She has people to tie her shoes!” that kind of BS. But what she says is true.... you give up alot of personal freedom to be 1st lady. Macron’s mom was not spilling the beans or being catty.
You're right. The headline was completely misleading - I expected it to be from MSM publication, but it was a Fox news story.
We know she can go outside. She just can't do it alone.
Same here. What I read, Mrs. Macron was talking about how Melina was so constrained as First Lady she was limited as to what she could do.
“When I read this somewhere else I actually found it very complimentary of Melania.”
You are correct!
Actually I read what Brigitte said about Melania and I thought it was pretty nice. I’m sure Melania is constrained in the Whitehouse. Mooch used to hate it. It’s not a secret.
I agree. The press took the words completely out of context and twisted them, and furthermore used them as headlines so only people who read deep into the article saw the whole quote and understood what she really meant.
One headline said “Melania can’t do anything,” which makes it sound as if she’s incompetent at doing things; further in the article it turned out that the two women were just commiserating about the conditions of a public life (being in the public eye all the time, not being permitted to do simple things - such as opening a window - by themselves, etc.). It sounded like a nice, positive conversation and as if she really liked Melania.
