I like and admire the noble qualities of a lot of public figures from afar, but who I wouldn’t necessarily see myself wanting to be friends with, or close to?
Melania is someone I’d want to spend time with and get to know personally.
I worked for Nixon against Kennedy in my last year of high school. They made me stuff letters for 3 local candidates and I later attended their banquet and saw them in person. That year I voted grandmother’s ballot, as usual, and, for the first time, split her ballot voting for all Republicans and 3 Democrats. The trick, I learned deep in my soul, was never to meet them.
You’re right. Melania might well be the one different one. A decent human being as well as someone devoted to this adopted country of hers.
