Meet Melania Trump, A New Model For First Lady
Washington Post ^ | 9/30/2015 | Mary Jordan

Posted on 09/30/2015 4:55:27 PM PDT by goldstategop

So far in the 2016 campaign season, Melania Trump has shown more of her homebody side than her provocative one. She infrequently accompanies her outspoken husband as he criss-crosses the country in his private Boeing 757. She rarely speaks to the media, and she declined to be interviewed for this article.

Friends said she prefers to stay at home — or homes, actually, in New York and Palm Beach — with the couple’s 9-year-old son, Barron. On the campaign trail, her peripatetic 69-year-old husband, who is 24 years her senior, has said that Melania is watching him on TV from home, always supportive.

“My wife said something very interesting,” Trump said last month on CNN. “She’s my pollster, okay?”

Trump, who famously obsesses over his poll numbers, said his wife gave him great approval ratings, saying, “‘You know, if you actually announce, you’re going to win.’”

Melania is not after the spotlight.

I can’t see her running for political office.

If you’re expecting Hillary Clinton, nope that’s not Mrs. Trump.

“She never really wanted to stand out or be the center of attention,"

Gawd. You Trumpbots really will believe anything, no matter how stupid it is, won't you? Meanwhile, the reality is much different. She didn't grow up in the obscurity of the Socialist equivalent of a log cabin:

Her father Viktor Knavs, who managed car and motorcycle dealerships, was from the nearby town of Radeče; her mother Amalija, a fashion designer, came from a village in the area surrounding Sevnica, within the confines of Sevnica Castle.

And this:

She began her modeling career at age 16, and at age 18 signed with a modeling agency in Milan.

Yup. That's just a plain little girl who never wanted to be noticed.

Questioning -- Guffaw -- I seriously doubt she has anything going on in the cortex at all.

That's bigoted. Watch some of her YouTube interviews. She is quite intelligent. He would be bored by her otherwise.

So she has the looks to be a model.

Some little girls are fortunate to be blessed.

And she married a wealthy man? Good for her!

At least she’s not built with shoulders like a linebacker and a bottom like that of a right tackle.

I would never marry a dumb woman.

If she’s not my equal, I’m not interested.

As they say, beauty is skin deep.

The point, which you are thoroughly determined to miss, is that there ins’t a grain of truth in this puff piece.

That baby picture of Barron — no mistaking who the father is! Carbon copy.

Please be serious.

I'm sure he'll be bored with her soon enough.

From what I understand, she speaks multiple languages. Nothing going on in the cortex? Hmmm.

Forget it, Fred. You're wasting your time. Donald expresses the anger that all of us are feeling about the last seven years.

You can't blame folks for that. It's an all or none phenomenon.

Why?

When it comes to marriage, Trump is conventional.

The lives of the rich and famous are no different than that of any one else.

And there are some things money can’t buy.

She strikes me as having a kind of self-confidence in her role as a wife that the other two did not have. Ivana became competitive and grasping. Marla — well, when you marry someone you cheat with, things are broken from the start. He really seems complemented by Melania.

Wow, classy post. You’ve let your hatred get control of you. Since I’m a Sith Lord, I suppose I should praise you.

If you’re so sure of everything, why ain’t you rich? Lay a few stock tips on us here, Fred.

Yes. All of us have been married conventionally three times.
