‘The Melania Tapes’ reveal she’s even cooler than we thought
The Spectator ^ | 3 Oct 2020 | Amber Athy

Posted on 10/04/2020 6:45:35 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Just a couple of hours before President Trump announced that he and his wife, first lady Melania, had tested positive for coronavirus, the world was exposed to the so-called ‘Melania Tapes’. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former friend of the first lady, released to CNN multiple recordings she took of her private conversations with Melania. Leftists who already despise the first lady raged about how she supposedly ‘hates’ Christmas and doesn’t care about migrant children. However, the tapes actually revealed a deeply sympathetic and relatable figure belied by Melania’s somewhat aloof and statuesque public persona.

‘I’m working…my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a fuck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?’ Melania complains in one recording, capturing the hearts of every suburban mom who dreads dragging the boxes of Christmas decorations out of the attic every December. No one ever really appreciates the perfectly hung garland (or in Melania’s case, the White House model made from gingerbread), but still they soldier on out of a sense of duty to make the holiday as special as possible for their families (or the country). Anyone who’s ever spent hours hanging the ornaments just so on the tree only for the cat to smash the 2015 Annual Swarovski Snowflake Ornament knows Melania’s words aren’t an indictment of the holiday itself.

OK, why are these recordings ok but anything from Project Veritas gets shamed and called conspiracy therories?

Wolkoff and CNN made a major miscalculation. They thought that exposing Melania’s intimate conversations would turn Wolkoff into a folk hero. Instead, it revealed her to be a horrible friend who was willing to abuse Melania’s trust in order to sell books. None of us would want to be held accountable for the things we think or say in our most private moments, but if the worst Melania says behind closed doors is that she gets annoyed with Christmas decorations and can’t stand the media, she sure is a hell of a lot like us.

Still wondering why she is not plastered all over women's magazines

Because our corporate media is corrupt, and deep-state controlled. If the President were some acceptable variant of the uniparty, like Bush, then occasionally praising his wife might be OK. But Obama was the start of new era of control, and Clinton was anointed his successor.

Trump flipped that over, and he must be destroyed. There can be nothing positive said about him.

I couldn’t agree more last year we gave away boxes of decorations because we just don’t want to deal with them anymore.

I have beautiful Christmas stuff. I put up less and less every year. No one wants to help me. I dont want to climb ladders. I started selling mine last year.

Christmas should be in your heart. What’s on the tree is irrelevant.

For people unfamiliar the meaning is lost in translation I understood perfectly what she was saying.

And they don’t appreciate the effort. The White House Christmas was beautiful but all they talked about was her attire

Exactly. I thought the WH decorations were awesome.

They don’t appreciate the effort here either. Went from 9 ft Tree to tabletop and they asked “That’s our tree?” No help putting up or taking down.

Doesn’t sound like she hates Christmas. Sounds like she doesn’t like all the decorating

Same here, have 4 little ceramic items from growing up in the 60’s plus the kids and my childhood Christmas stockings, that is about it, have not had a tree in 4-5 years. Enjoy the lights but only a few indoors to brighten the mood.

From what I heard in the tape, it sounds as if Melanie curses more than her husband.

I personally like the contrast between her looks and her mouth.

It makes her seem more like a real person.

Still wondering why she is not plastered all over women’s magazines... like The Wookie was (and is).

I believe the Wookie magazines were:

Animal Wellness Magazine
Animals and You
Pet Business
Reptiles
Dogster
Catster
Bark
Hobby Farms
Whole Dog Journal
Urban Animal

Miscalculation, indeed. This is inevitable when you go to a public “school” and have no idea that you know *nothing* of history.

Like many children of the Eastern Bloc, Melania recoils from anything with a whiff of liberalism which has become a synonym for socialism, which is now code for full-throated communism.

Our Melania grew up marinated in Truth. Her parents and her teachers, all sent the same messages, with one voice. She understands what happens when Evil is allowed to grab control.

Melania is now a naturalized American citizen. She loves America far more than any democrat can fathom.

Our FLOTUS is exactly where she wants to be, serving in her own way, using her platform to “drive liberals crazy” and doing it well.

The imbeciles on the left have always underestimated our Melania’s intelligence. They cannot process the concept that a woman can be jaw-droppingly beautiful *and* highly intelligent at the same time.

The underestimate her at their own peril.

Again, they look like complete morons with their latest “bombshell.”

Now this is a take I didn't expect.

But my wife relates, totally.

Small disclaimer: I do most of the Christmas decorations in my house and you should hear the language I use when trying to untangle those Christmas lights and find the bulbs that aren't working. Madness!

But when I'm done, and I'm sitting in my chair sipping a White Russian or something while listening to Christmas music and looking at all the lights I put up, it's all worth it.

“who gives a fuck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? “

We are lying to ourselves if we say her saying this on tape is any kind of positive, sheesh. I just hope it doesn’t go viral.

Good point. She's such a beauty and interesting.

Unlike Mooch. But, I guess, transitioning is interesting though they never broached the subject.
