First lady Melania Trump marks first year with grace and dignity
Fox News ^ | 1/20/2018 | Lauren Debellis Appell

Melania Trump, who on Saturday marks the end of her first year as first lady, has conducted herself with grace and dignity. She’s had to navigate an onslaught of detractors and a hostile media that follow her every move, looking for any opportunity to undermine her efforts and diminish her position.

The first lady carries herself with an understated elegance and, known for her privacy, she’s measured in her words and actions. Since she chooses to stay below the radar most of the time she doesn’t give her critics much material to work with.

But have no fear, they’ll resort to schoolyard antics. We saw a lot of that this year.

It didn’t take long after the election results were in for a barrage of designers to begin announcing they would refuse to dress the first lady.(snip)

Liberals never seem to get the irony of demanding diversity, freedom and respect while refusing to give the same things in return. The street has two lanes, but they think they own both.

Then there was stiletto-gate, an absurd debate about the first lady’s choice of shoes. Otherwise known as much ado about nothing.

Mrs. Trump became front-page news and lit up Twitter when she left the White House wearing high heels to get on Air Force One to go to Texas with President Trump to assess damage from Hurricane Harvey. Never mind that when the plane landed she walked off wearing sneakers.

The vultures saw their window of opportunity to attack and went for it. In a world where major newsworthy events are happening every day, news outlets picked the first lady’s shoes as the big event worth highlighting.

When I saw the headline, I (correctly) assumed it wouldn't be a WaPo, NYT, CBS, NBC or ABC story...

a pretty easy assumption to make these days.

Our First Lady has such high class, gracefulness and a polished demeanor.

With The Trumps we have people who know and care what they are doing.

What a wonderful contrast to the moocher, the former “Worst Lady”.

Our First Lady floats when she walks and is the definition of grace and dignity.

One incredible upgrade.

I see our Melania carries her own umbrella, too, and does not use the United States Marine Corps to do it for her as did a certain former president.

“Moooochelle was not easy on the eyes or ears.”

Understatement of the year. Maybe all year.
