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.

Michael Obama graced every magazine on the grocery store shelf — still does, in fact, from time-to-time.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single issue yet with Melania’s image.

I’ve never seen anything more disgustingly hateful in my life. It’s one thing to hate Trump. Politics is a tough business. But I can’t think of a single thing that anyone could hate about Melania.

I hope she’s tough enough to bear this level of spite.

Well let’s hope all this insane over the top fanatical hate by the Rats utterly completely and FINALLY destroys them because without question, they along with the media ARE this nations #1 problem! It’s like having a room mate from hell.

The ENTIRE ‘Media Establishment’ have been beyond mean and TOTAL jerks to her!

Her only consolation? She’s married to The Donald who loves her madly, she has The Worlds Most Handsome Son (this side of JFK Jr.) and she’s got BILLIONS of dollars at her disposal; HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of which SHE HAS EARNED HERSELF!

No wonder Socialists hate her! *SMIRK*

I Stand With Melania! (I need to make a T-shirt!)

True.

Reminds me of reading how hatred out of jealousy or for no reason can harm ones mental and physical health. Plus, these haters make their own lives miserable by wallowing in their hysterical hatred.

“I Stand With Melania! (I need to make a T-shirt!)”

I like that too.

Dem: what’s with the T-shirt?

Me: it’s a positive message.

Me: Do you have a positive message you like to put on a T-shirt?

I think that would really piss them off because they don’t have a positive message.

All negative all the time.

Well their hatred is driving more and more around the bend every day.

I am convinced it is us they truly hate, and they only hate Trump because he represents us, and really does represent us- not just political promises soon forgotten to join the uniparty. None of them had a problem with Trump until he ran for president as a conservative.

I think they knew him well enough to know he would do his very best to keep his promises. That is why they came out swinging from the start.

Here’s a good piece about our beloved FLOTUS.

Every R first lady gets grief, but the snubbing of Melania by the Fashion Media is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. Used to love to pour over the pages of Vogue, etc. with my mother and grandmother.

That stuff is all dead now. I think it’s a shame.

Incredible to me that Anna Wintour of Vogue, when asked about Melania, instead answered about how wonderful big Mike’s style is.

We have tons of photos of MO looking ridiculous - to the point of it being embarrassing (including the bulge). AW of course knows that but can’t bring herself to be truthful. I no longer buy Vogue - refuse to give them my money.

Melania is exquisite in every way - I sure hope she ignores the jealous idiots.

I think they were pretty nice to Laura Bush, because, you know, she’s really on their side. That’s what I thought at the time.

“I ...appreciate how she prays the rosary regularly.”

Did not know this, that is very good.

“I am convinced it is us they truly hate, and they only hate Trump because he represents us...”

You are correct, entirely.

Michelle Obama was an embarrassment. Period. Nothing more to say.

Yes, there is one more thing to say. The disgusting fawning by our “elites” was equally embarrassing.

“AW of course knows that but can’t bring herself to be truthful.”

But yes, this is the thing. These people of the Left are all willing, eager even, to live in a false reality. One in which people with penises are “women” and in which Michelle Obama is a fashion icon and Melania Trump is a persona non grata.

This is a place called Crazy town, and they want us all to live there.

Moochie was the ugliest and least classy first lady in history.

Pat was lovely. I know her granddaughter who tells stories about her childhood at the White House. Pat would open up her shoe closet, and let the little girls play Shoe Store! Justa regular fun Grandma!
