The Chicago Tribune published an article Monday accusing Melania Trump of running for cover and acting “like a victim.”
Author of the piece, Dahleen Glanton, said it is becoming “difficult” to feel sorry for Melania and pushed her to “step up and start doing her job.”
Glanton then attacked the first lady’s sincerity by claiming she never expected her husband to win and was pressured into helping with the campaign.
“Perhaps she didn’t mean any of it,” Glanton writes. “Perhaps she never really wanted to live in the White House. Perhaps she bowed under pressure to join the campaign. Perhaps she never believed her husband could win.”
“It doesn’t matter now. Enough Americans took her at her word and gave her that unpaid, unofficial job she practically begged for,” Glanton added. “It’s too late for her to change her mind and give it back.”
The vitriol continued as Glanton targeted Melania in an effort to discredit her and make her seem like a weakling.
“The first lady would rather we close our eyes and give her a pass. She’d rather we allow her to ‘focus on being a mom,’ stepping out only for special occasions like Easter in a designer outfit to deliver baskets to sick children,” the article reads.
“The American people deserve a first lady who sets an example as a strong woman able to tackle adversity head-on, not one who runs for cover and acts like a victim when the spotlight gets too hot.”
Glanton thinks a real first lady must be “determined” and “focused” on helping the country and claims she has no idea what Melania stands for.
“After more than a year watching her drift near the steps of one of the greatest platforms in the world, we still don’t know exactly what Melania Trump stands for,” Glanton writes. “She has been so preoccupied shielding herself from her husband’s misdeeds that she has been unable to project her own identity.”
“Instead of cowering in shame, she should hold her head up and immerse herself in projects she feels strongly about,” Glanton continued.
She then pivoted to President Donald Trump and thinks Melania has a right to leave him if she wants.
“No one has the right to judge whether she should stay with Donald Trump or leave him,” Glanton writes. “Whether she remains in the White House or goes, it is not her job as first lady to defend her husband’s scandals or try to give the illusion in public that he has her loyalty and support. The ‘stand by your man’ mentality has never worked out well for political wives.”
“Melania Trump doesn’t need our pity. What she needs from us is a loud wake-up call,” Glanton concluded. “She’s been sleeping on the job way too long.”
Perhaps the Chicago Tribune is full of it!
Dahleen Glanton... I don’t even have to guess. With an IQ of 70, I’m sure there are a lot of things “Dahleen” doesn’t get.
Actually she is quite udderly ridiculous.
What an absolute b**ch.
Just saw her face. No wonder.
A certain infantile subculture thinks what "we want" is the most important thing. The wife of the President owes nothing to me or anyone else beyond not bringing disrepute on the office.
She looks a lot older in the first picture.
Billy *Bubba did do that during Hillary's ashtray tossing days. I remember it well...
Affirmative action at non-work...lol.
Sooooooo much older! Her official pic must’ve been from her high school yearbook when she was 29.
Dahleen Glanton. Please drop dead. Thanks.
” “step up and start doing her job.”
What job?
.
They are filled with hate.
“Instead of cowering in shame, she should hold her head up and immerse herself in projects she feels strongly about,” Glanton continued.
From what I’ve seen, FLOTUS is doing just that. It’s just that she’s doing things to actually HELP American children versus Commie Mooch and her fake ‘garden’ and her shoving tofu down our kids’ throats!
Bitterness thy name is, ‘Glanton.’
Here’s the deal - find a DECENT, Conservative Black man with a DECENT Conservative Black wife to serve as POTUS and FLOTUS and then EVERYONE will be happy, right?
ROFLMAO! I crack myself up! Socialists NEVER stop whining and complaining. EVER!
MAGA! :)
not a peep from Dahleen about Moochie sitting around on the beach at Richard Bransons island writing her $20m memiors!
And quite enormous.
