Melania Trump – An Apology
UK Telegraph ^

Posted on 01/25/2019 8:23:38 PM PST by ameribbean expat

Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.

We accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance. Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article. The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trump’s mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not. The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.

We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.

Not that their first article sprouting all their falsehoods was read (so seldom read the trash), it must have been a real doozy. Mrs. Trump, bully for you; a strong finish to a most troublesome day. Thank you for everything. Keep kickin’ the asses. It’s the only way to get their attention.

It is still the most Conservative newspaper. But Conservative over there isn’t the same as Conservative over here. We get the Telegraph, but their Features/Sunday magazine aren’t even remotely Conservative.

Why don’t they spend time staying away from FLOTUS? Hate Donald at your own risk. Messing with Melania is a bad idea. She is a poster child for class and grace, ain’t no future in that. Got time to kill? Go tap dance on a landmine.

That is how all articles by the press should be written from now on. A pre apology instead of after the fact.

I don’t care that it is a conservative paper, and the only one, they need an enormous nose dive. Won’t trust them again. This was intentional, and mean spirited.

She managed to whoop their butts in just six days? That has to be a record of some sort.

How does an apology and a finalized settlement occur in five days?

If you enjoyed last Saturday’s collection of lies about Melania, be sure to catch next Saturday’s collection of new lies about Melania. Our apology for those lies is scheduled to appear ten days after their publication or 24 hours before the deadline set by her attorneys, whichever comes last.

I’m sure all those who read the original excuse of an article have seen the apology.
