Melania Trump spends Valentine's Day visiting sick kids
CNN ^ | 2/14/2018 | Kate Bennett

(snip)Trump arrived at Children's Inn, a specialty residence facility where seriously ill children and their families stay while the kids participate in clinical trials and treatments at NIH, dressed in a bright red, belted Calvin Klein coat. She quickly prepared to jump in with frosting and sprinkles for the heart-shaped cookies being decorated by kids ages 4 to 11, who suffer from a variety of rare illnesses.

"Do you like to play and run around with your friends?" the first lady asked of Lucy Wiese, a 9-year-old from Virginia who has a rare immunodeficiency disease and has already made 29 visits to Children's Inn in her short life. Lucy nodded.

After several minutes of cookie time, Trump visited a nearby classroom area where more children, joined by the cookie-decorating crew, mingled and made Valentine's cards with their fellow patients. Some of the older patients, in their early 20s, had been coming to Children's Inn since they were much younger.

"You look beautiful," Trump said to 23-year-old Christine Moister, who was wearing a vibrant pink sweater. Moister smiled back. She suffers from Niemann-Pick disease type C, which is also referred to as children's Alzheimer's.

The first lady stood close to Moister, chatting with her and accepting a Valentine's card, which she put into a decorated brown paper bag.

"I brought you some presents, too," said Trump, who moved through the room full of young patients, smiling and bestowing compliments like, "You look good! And strong!" and expressing thanks for the gifts the kids gave her.

Trump walked from table to table, handing out White House Valentine's Day cards(snip)

One young man gave the first lady a pair of black Children's Inn sunglasses, to which Trump, often seen in oversized shades, exclaimed, "This is very fashionable. I love sunglasses."

“And there’s Hillary Clinton laughing on tape about how she saved a 12-year-old girl’s rapist.”

“Kathy Shelton had been raped and beaten into a coma when she was twelve years old. Her rapist wanted a “woman lawyer.” Hillary Clinton took his case as a favor and used every dirty trick to get him off. Even though she admits on the tape that she knew her client was guilty, she accused his victim of being “emotionally unstable” and fantasizing about older men. And she used the little girl’s bloody underwear as the pivot of a blatant lie that got her client off with less than a year in prison.”

“All of that is bad enough.”

“It reminds us that there is nothing that Hillary Clinton won’t do to win whether it’s accusing an abused child of being a mentally ill slut or accusing her election opponent of cavorting with urinating Russian prostitutes. And that despite her best efforts to appear human, she has nothing resembling a soul.”

“Every time I read a story about the class of Melania Trump I thank God that Hillary lost.”

Me, too! Can you imagine Slick Willie visiting sick children in his role as “First Man”??? (Barf!)

Hillary to the kids: “Don’t you know who I am? My own daughter wrote a children’s book - you should ask your parents to buy it for you!”
