It's safe to say that no president's wife has been treated more disrespectfully and disgracefully than Melania Trump, who exited the White House on Wednesday after four tumultuous years.
Throughout history, several first ladies – notably, Rachel Jackson, Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan – were attacked or criticized on personal or political grounds, sometimes viciously so by their husbands' political foes. Yet, in more recent times, the general rule became that first ladies were basically untouchable unless they were working for the administration in an official role, as was the case with Hillary Clinton when she chaired President Clinton's health care task force in 1993. The task force's flawed proposal never got to a vote, despite Democratic control of Congress, following intense criticism from Republicans, libertarians and the health care industry, prompting widespread criticism of Mrs. Clinton as a policymaker.

Scorned and mistreated, Melania Trump deserved much better from the media
Right, but as far as the media in general...you can’t expect anything from pigs but grunts.
The media didn’t know how to treat her because class, beauty, dignity, and intelligence are foreign concepts to them.
All of the major fashion magazine web sites/social media channels have been going gaga the last couple of days over Jill Biden and the “return” of style to the White House. Disgraceful pandering, but it seems to be what their audiences want to believe.
Oh please with that phony list including Democrat first ladies from long ago.
Every republican first Lady in modern times has been treated like a war criminal or complete fool.
The left sucks. Nasty rotten group of people.
I wasn’t around so maybe they treated Mimi Eisenhower OK. That’s it.
I bet there isn’t a happier person this week than Melania Trump.
The UBER BABE of FLOTUS’s.
barron...
white guilt ridden media was doing all it could to prove that the gorilla that preceded her was beautiful.....hilarious....
The leftist, democrat party media is the enemy, folks.
The media and liberals, one in the same, have acted like complete s-bags when it came to the Trumps.
Fake media and now a fake President. People who Dance to the Political Fat Cats, who call the shots.
The left is evil and nothing else can be used to describe them.
“Scorned and mistreated, Melania Trump deserved much better from the media”
Did anyone expect anything different from the Lame Street Media? Of course they will redeem themselves by fawning over Jill for the next 4 years....I mean as long as Joe is prez...maybe 3 months.
WHAT media?
A bunch of shallow, selfish, superficial and biased trolls does not make a ‘media’
Melania Trump didn't make one single fashion magazine cover in four years.
Says everything about the media...
Vanity Fair Snubs Melania Trump, Gives "Best Dressed Award" to Michelle Obama
They were jealous, both the women and the “men”. It was disgraceful but anyone with eyes could see she is magnificent. The Dems don’t have anything close.
As a general rule democrats are incredibly unattractive. What’s inside shows on the outside.
Trump will never run again. Not as long as he is married to Melania.
Omg. A beast.
