It's safe to say that no president's wife has been treated more disrespectfully and disgracefully than Melania Trump, who exited the White House on Wednesday after four tumultuous years. Throughout history, several first ladies – notably, Rachel Jackson, Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan – were attacked or criticized on personal or political grounds, sometimes viciously so by their husbands' political foes. Yet, in more recent times, the general rule became that first ladies were basically untouchable unless they were working for the administration in an official role, as was the case with Hillary Clinton when...

Tim Matheson @Tim_Matheson Replying to @NBCNews So wonderful to have a First Lady with class and heart. And, can speak English! 1:42 PM · Jan 22, 2021

How clueless is John Berman? On the one hand, the CNN anchor trumpets the fact that Melania Trump is the first First Lady to leave the White House with a net-negative approval rating. On the other hand, his own sneering remarks are a perfect illustration of the kind of negative coverage that Melania has received during her years as First Lady which contributed to her negative ratings. During this morning's 6 am hour of New Day', Berman teased the upcoming report on Melania's ratings, saying: "Here's a pop quiz for you. Who's the only First Lady to leave the White...

First Lady Melania Trump published an op-ed Monday morning on the official White House website about "the path forward" as the Trump Administration comes to an end. Here it is in full, courtesy of the White House: Like all of you, I have reflected on the past year and how the invisible enemy, Covid-19, swept across our beautiful country. All Nations have experienced the loss of loved ones, economic pain, and the negative impacts of isolation.As your First Lady, it has been inspiring to witness firsthand what the people of our great Nation will do for one another, especially when...

After First Lady Melania Trump read a Christmas book to children at the Children’s National Hospital, CNN falsely claimed that she broke policy by removing her mask when speaking. On Tuesday in Washington, DC, Mrs. Trump visited a handful of children to read Oliver the Ornament Meets Marley and Joan and Abbey, which was broadcast across the hospital so that children in their rooms could tune in. Mrs. Trump, who already had and recovered from the Chinese coronavirus, could be seen entering the room wearing a black mask before sitting down, more than 12 feet away from children. Then, following...

MSNBC published an attack on the First Lady for daring to celebrate Christmas amidst the coronavirus pandemic in an op-ed titled “Why is Melania Trump doing ‘Christmas stuff’ with COVID surging?” “What I want to know is: Who bullied Melania into doing all this Christmas stuff?” Hayes Brown wrote in the MSNBC op-ed. Brown went on to claim that Melania does not like Christmas, citing a piece of audio recorded secretly without the first lady’s consent by her former friend and advisor, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

Melania Trump is being relentlessly and unfairly mocked this week after reports surfaced that the First Lady is in talks to write a memoir.

Yesterday, an email was sent out with a link for Michigan citizens to join the zoom call today and have their voices heard. Almost three hours into the call and most of the outside voices have been those of Democrat officials, many of whom were never at the TCF Center, demanding that the vote be certified today. One of the strongest voices, former MI GOP Executive Chair Jeff Timmer, was curiously chosen as the first non-elected official to speak. Timmer used his time to demand that the MI Board of Canvassers “do their jobs” and certify the vote. So, who...

First lady Melania Trump labeled Democratic nominee Joe Biden a “socialist” and challenged his lengthy record in politics as she hit the campaign trail for her husband on Tuesday after a year-long absence. With early voting in full swing and one week until Election Day, the first lady made her 2020 race debut with a 15-minute speech in Atglen, Penn., where she warned the crowd that a vote for the Democratic Party would send the nation “backwards.” “Joe Biden’s policies and socialist agenda will only serve to destroy America and all that has been built in the past four years,”...

Over the last couple of weeks, I have had time to reflect on many things personal to me. One of the most honorable and important roles I have ever undertaken has been serving you, the American people, as the First Lady of this country. When I thought about where I wanted to put my time and efforts, there was no hesitation. BE BEST has one simple purpose—to help children. It serves to provide the tools children need to prepare them for their futures. We all know that more often than not, information that could be helpful to children is lost...

CNN is having a field day with illicitly obtained tapes of First Lady Melania Trump's private conversations, recorded by a so-called "friend." This is going to backfire. CNN got all breathless with news of what Melania Trump said in private to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a Manhattan socialite who had been best friends with Melania since 2003. First Lady Melania Trump was secretly recorded in the summer of 2018 expressing her frustration at being criticized for her husband's policy of separating families who illegally crossed the southern border while at the same time needing to perform traditional first lady duties, such...

President Trump announced early Friday that both he and the First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19 and will quarantine at the White House. “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19,” the president tweeted. “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately.” He added: “We will get through this TOGETHER!” Melania Trump posted, “As too many Americans have done this year, @potus & I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through...

By now you've heard that President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. The president shared the news just a few hours after we got word that one of his top aides, Hope Hicks, had tested positive. Most folks are wishing the pair well, or saying prayers for them before they go to sleep tonight. President Trump is a high-risk group for COVID hospitalization, given his age and weight. But, as you can probably (sadly) expect, his critics are either smirking, or outright celebrating the scary diagnosis. "I hope nothing but the worst for him,"...

President Trump announced early Friday that he and First Lady Melania tested positive for the COVID-19 China coronavirus. The announcement came just hours after news broke that close presidential aide Hope Hicks tested positive for the virus on Thursday after presenting symptoms Wednesday night while on a campaign trip to Duluth, Minnesota with the President. Hicks was reportedly quarantined on Air Force One for the return trip to D.C. “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” Link Trump posted earlier in the evening about...

Are you ready to see how the media works? Warning: extreme sarcasm ahead! Remember, these journalists are brave firefighters. Reporters don't root for either side. Journalism is one of the noblest professions that exists. So, let's check out how our moral betters cover the hard-hitting news of the day. Ah yes! VP Candidate Kamala Harris wore her Timberland boots and it is very much the greatest fashion choice ever made in the history of the United States. She's ready to "get s*** done." What a brave and incredible woman! Her wearing the shoes has on its own redeemed the entire...

U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco Jamie McCourt told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday that the Atlantic story about President Donald Trump allegedly bashing troops is untrue. Ambassador McCourt was there the day President Trump’s team called off the trip to the cemetery at Belleau Wood because of inclement weather. She is the latest U.S. official who was actually present at the event to publicly deny the Atlantic’s account of events, which is based entirely on anonymous sources. “Needless to say, I never spoke to the Atlantic, and I can’t imagine who would,” McCourt told Breitbart News. “In my presence,...

It seems so long ago that Donald Trump was warmly favored by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the duo hanging out at Mar-a-Lago over the holidays and hailing him as a "masterful politician." Now, every day, Scarborough rips into Trump in the most personal terms, and even rips his wife. In a remarkably bitter attack on Wednesday morning, Scarborough savaged Melania Trump as "shameless, absolutely shameless."Scarborough was incensed that in her speech last night at the RNC convention, Melania criticized people who are mean on social media, but had not criticized President Trump's tweets about poor Joe and Mika, as...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Wednesday lauded first lady Melania Trump's keynote speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC), adding "no mother in this country" wants to raise children in Democratic-led cities. Noem told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" host Sandra Smith that the president's wife delivered a "powerful" speech showcasing "her mother's heart" Tuesday night, and exemplified how the president respects women. Following the first lady's speech, Trump walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek before the two walked inside the White House hand-in-hand. "I think what's incredibly important is that mothers get up every...

The second night of the Republican National Convention showed America the truth about Donald Trump's first four years. On the heels of a widely praised first night that showed contrast not only politically but stylistically to the Democrats’ Zoom convention of last week, night two of the Republican National Convention featured the theme “Land of Opportunity.” The second night of a convention is a tricky business. It doesn’t have the excitement of opening night, or the clear stars, the vice president and president on nights three and four. Both conventions chose to make the wife of the ticket topper the...

Actress Bette Midler faced intense backlash for mocking First Lady Melania Trump's accent. The first lady closed the second night of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday from the Rose Garden at the White House, where she expressed her gratitude as an American and her support for President Trump's reelection. However, her message was apparently not received by the award-winning performer. "Oh, God. She still can’t speak English," Midler tweeted during the speech.
