Vendela Vida, a writer for The New Yorker, traveled to First Lady Melania Trump’s hometown in Slovenia for some reason, and discovered an extremely juicy piece of news–people generally seem like her there.
The article, titled, “Searching for Melania Trump’s Childhood Home,” follows the story of Vida traveling around Europe with her family.
Vida makes it to Sevnica, Slovenia, the town in Eastern Europe where the future first lady was born.
The writer peppers her piece with small put-downs of the country, pointing out the fact that some shops were closed and a waitress at a restaurant didn’t know whether a hamburger on the menu was “grass-fed” or not.
Finally, the big reveal — Vida discovers a dessert dish named after Melania Trump on a restaurant menu and asks the waitress if “people here like Melania?” to which she simply replied, “Of course.”
It also turns out that the house Vida finds that she thought Melania grew up in wasn’t even the right house. Amazing reporting.
The New Yorker paid for this boondoggle?
Her ‘mission’ was to fly all the way to Old Europe, and find somebody, anybody to say something nasty about Melania.
That should be a piece of cake, right?
No, jealous one, your goals remain undone.
People do like her there. They even like her family. You have FAILED in your Mean-Girl mission!
I’m surprised she just didn’t make up a quote.
They never went to Columbia to track down Obama’s friends.
She learned a valuable lesson: next time, this reporter will just stay in New Jersey and make up lies like all the others.
Just wait. It will probably happen after she gets Twitter Warred by her fellow Libs for helping to normalize Melania.
She’ll say “Language and Cultural barriers plus my own Jet-Lag fatigue have apparently produced some ‘confusion’ about my actual questions. Here is what the citizens of Slovenia were REALLY telling me!”
Reporting on president Obama’s past was almost non-existent.
It was as if the reporters were worried about what they might find...

Only a coastal elite would ask such a rediculous question.
If a beef wasn’t raised in Iowa, Nebraska or the like, then it was grass-fed. So most cattle are grass-fed.
Well I don’t have the numbers, I would say that most beef are not grass-fed.
They may start out on grassland, but they are finished out in a feedlot.
Even here in Colorado.
I would have answered that question with,”No,they smoke it but they don’t eat it.”
Dumbest question EVER.
.
I meant world-wide, not specifically the United States. I think a lot of ranchers elsewhere can’t afford the feedlot model. I prefer grain-fed beef but grass-fed is a trend among foodies.
Yeah, that one caught my eye too. Self-parody can be cruel.
"It's a dead cow, dear. We didn't ask."
Wow. I read the article that prompted the linked one to be written, looks like it was written by an immature teenager.
Got it. I think you’re right.
I think she is very poised, beautiful, and graceful! She is classy like Jackie Kennedy. We adore her!
LOL! You’re probably right.

10 times better than Jackie.
