Marginalizing Much-Maligned Melania
The National Review ^ | May 16, 2018 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/16/2018 8:45:29 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The media, pundits, and liberal politicians can’t grasp why Americans love her.

Need more evidence that there are two Americas? Here: Left-wing hatred of Melania Trump is inversely proportional to flyover admiration for the first lady.

In just the last month, late-night clown Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump’s Slovenian accent, CNN contributor April Ryan attacked her as “not culturally American,” former Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines derided her genteel presence at Barbara Bush’s funeral, and horror writer Stephen King snickered at her hospitalization this week for kidney surgery.

Yet, while partisans in the political press and entertainment media work hard to stoke division against and resentment of the Trump administration, “Melania” is now among the fastest-growing baby names in the nation, according to recently released Social Security data. And a new poll by anti-Trump CNN released on Monday reported a 10 percent jump in the first lady’s favorability ratings — from 47 percent in January to 57 percent last week....

We love our First Lady. They make fun of her because they haven’t had anyone to be proud of since Jackie.

The Trumps should schedule a state visit to Slovenia. Then, when the media types try to follow, they may find that they can’t get visas to go to Slovenia. LOL

Liberals despise anything beautiful or traditional. Look at their art. Look at their women who dye their hair colors that scream toxic in a natural environment. They worship ugly.

Without visas they would be illegally entering the country and could be arrested and jailed and serve six months digging in a Slovenian salt mine. Wouldn’t that be fun to see on the late-night shows. Kimmel, finally doing an honest days work.

“CNN contributor April Ryan attacked her as ‘not culturally American’”

The hypocrisy of the left still astonishes me. If the First Lady was a typical, Republican, white, country club lady, they would say she isn’t culturally diverse enough! (I don’t even know how many country clubs Trump belongs to, or does he just build his own golf resorts?!)

But, Obama was ‘culturally American’?

Our lovely Melania is a wonderful First Lady and represents us with grace and dignity.

“Not only has he built his own he has opened HIS clubs to “Jews and blacks””

The very reason he opened Mar A Largo.
The country club he was going to join didn’t allow minorities so he developed Mar A Largo and invited anyone who could pay the membership fees regardless of religion or skin color.
President Trump is most likely the most color blind person in DC.
