In praise of Melania Trump, the first lady treated terribly by the media
The New York Post ^ | September 1, 2019 | Miranda Devine

A new book comparing Melania Trump and Michelle Obama has brought out predictable slaps against the current first lady from bullies who seek to attack the president through his family.

Pitting two women against each other just never gets old, does it?

“Melania & Michelle: First Ladies in a New Era,” by Tammy R. Vigil, is presented as a mere bipartisan assessment of the public images of both women. But it thinly veils its criticism of one and its admiration of the other. No prizes for guessing who’s who.

Vigil, a Boston academic, notes that Melania “ranks among the least liked of all modern first ladies, [and her] professional life prepared her to serve more as a visual adornment.”

The afterword belatedly acknowledges that “pitting the two women against one another is a troublesome (though common) practice.”

But, hey, if it damages the Trumps, go for it.

Least liked? Melania? Where’s this guy been? Melania is the most beloved First Lady.

Truth will win out.

“Vigil, a Boston academic...” wrote about the First Ladies. Reminds me of the affirmative action hire at Harvard teacher who wrote about trends in first names. Wow. Academics can be very shallow.

I admire Melania and appreciate how she prays the rosary regularly. She is graceful, faithful, beautiful, intelligent, and respectful to kids in hospitals.

Fact: A person who hates Melania is a person who deep down hates himself for hating Melania.

Good Lord!

Hillary’s “husband” is not long for this world.

The man looks very ill.

The First Lady is stunning in ANY age division.

Melania is simply the best. We are very lucky to have her.

The press was nasty to Mamie. They called her a drunk. (She had a neurological disorder of some type that made her unsteady on her feet. I don’t remember much, I was pretty young at the time.)

Our Melania loves America far more than the left’s entitled brats who were born here. The First Lady knows up close and personal the kind of horrors the Deep State would release upon us, given the opportunity.

I am quite confident that our lovely Melania understands the resistance to her husband; and, by association, to her. To compound the charges against her are her grace and beauty. The left vehemently rejects any overt displays of femininity.

My sense is that Melania is closer to the action than is generally known. She is very sharp and has a lot of insight. She totally gets what her husband is doing by upending the tables.

Melania should have been “The It Girl” and “Cover” for so many magazines these last three years but, for her marriage to DJT...

The leftist media is the enemy of the United States constitution and of anyone who supports it.

Mamie Eisenhower called Jackie “the college girl”. What would she have called Melania.

The Bond girl.

I couldn’t agree more. She is one of the most evil women to have ever lived.

This says nothing about Melania Trump.

It speaks volumes about the media.

“I think the Hildebeast, is even more evil than Slick Willie.”

Absolutely no doubt about that. Satan incarnate.

Why do people keep disparaging Wookies, who are perfectly respectable creatures by comparing them to Moochelle, who is in no way respectable.

Yes, I remember that and the press, probably deliberately, ‘confused’ Mamie with a sister was an alcoholic.

Whenever I see a recent pic of Bubba, I am reminded of my parent's old expression: "He looked like death warmed over." He looks terrible. Although, in this pic, he does seem to still have a good amount of hair on his head.

But, the rest of his face looks awful.

Melania is head and shoulders above the dour, jealous and America-hating former first lady, Michelle.

Exhibit A: knowing she was being photographed with (then) First Lady of France Carla Bruni:

Oh I am sure she understands why she is under attack and probably laughs at the pettiness, childishness of most of it. Mean girls at the lunch table...

I think she is incredibly smart, I don’t think men like Donald marry only for looks...I think they want someone smart enough to converse with...only so many you can trust with your thoughts.

I agree she understands first hand what socialism brings with it.

It is just so low class of the socialists to target her...and they always said M.O. and children were off limits. ha...they now target Baron too without a thought.
