Guess I did not expect this. But, then again I do not know what to expect from her anymore. I am past being disappointed with things the Trump family does!!
PS--there are some embedded links within the article at the link
The fact that Melania Trump has chosen to sign her name to a letter attacking the media, and even encouraging supporters to win a battle against the free press, ought to erase any doubt about where the first lady really stands.

Melania Trump attacks the press in GOP fundraising email

The first lady has now joined Trump's war on the free press.
https://shareblue.com/melania-trump-attacks-press-gop-fundraising-email/
First Lady Melania Trump has now become a full partner in her husbands war against the free press.
Melania Trump signed her name to a GOP fundraising email that read: Democrats and the opposition media are doing everything they possibly can to discredit Donald with false accusations by spreading their fake news and making it appear that he does not have the support of Americas voters.
The email, which was flagged by New York Post reporter Nikki Schwab, exploited hostility toward the media in order to raise cash for the Republican Party.
Its unusual for Melania Trump to attack the media directly. Indeed, many in the media have painted her as a moderating influence on Trump, if not even a stealth member of the resistance.
For example, when she wore a jacket that said I dont really care, do u? to an immigration facility in June, some took it as a cryptic message to her husband.............................................
I do not know what is wrong with this short clip*********

I'll never fell one ounce of sympathy for her when this whole thing comes crashing down on her and especially on the hog, She's no better than her tReasonous, racist, husband of hers.

(8,843 posts)anywhere 100% from between her own ears. In any case I do not think Melania is a particularly bright nor egalitarian woman. I would think that she would be uncomfortable and POed at Trump at how her pampered life has been disrupted. Pretty sure she is bright enough to know what she represents and how many people are disgusted.

(6,212 posts)she has always backed donnie 100%. I have read many times she is one of his main advisors. I will never understand the "poor Melania" people who think she's abused etc. She loves being FLOTUS and doesn't want to give it up. It's her claim to fame.

(53,922 posts)his handholding in public, or wearing that message jacket, but in the end, she does what she's told.
Her ranking among First Ladies is IMO on a par with trump's ranking among presidents, and both are sinking daily as developments unfold.

(6,979 posts)Michelle STILL gets the racist treatment: Called a man, gorilla, transvestite, ugly and the N-word. A filth bag, like woman is called gorgeous, intelligent, classy or a real first Lady by racists Pos because she's a white European woman. Racist assholes. ALL OF THEM.

(12,600 posts)There's been a huge influx of gays, lesbians and other progressives over the last decade, thanks in part to the annual White Party. It's been great for the community. Downtown, which was basically only T-shirt stores when Sonny Bono was mayor, are now filled with a art and antiques stores, and a wonderful variety of restaurants. There's more than 100 small "boutique" hotels. Where the city would literally shut down during the summer while everyone left town (119 degree weather isn't for everyone), it's Plus the Palm Springs Film Festival -- which Bono had just started before he died -- has grown astronomically, and there are also other festivals. They just held one dedicated to animation.
I still like "LastLiberal in PalmSprings" because it reminds me I've been here before it became a stronghold of progressives. Did I mention we have a lesbian for mayor? Cool!

(17,235 posts)The whole broken English, "how do you say" crap is part of her bad act. melanie loves being FLOTUS more than life itself and longs to be part of the drumpfian authoritarian regime.

(86,834 posts)she was a watcher or handler, perhaps started as one and became another, whatever, she get not sympathies here, for anything that happens to her. Just don't let her get on a boat or a plane when the stuff starts flying and we're ankle deep with our ponchos on. She can't be allowed to sneak away, she is one of them even though she's not an executive in any of the family businesses.

(9,670 posts)In 58 years, I have never uttered the words, nor heard the words uttered, "Be Best".
I wouldn't be surprised that she's not that clever when it comes to language and can easily be manipulated.
That's not a defense of her, though. I find her contemptible because of her stance on birtherism and her blind allegiance to her freak boyfriend when it's obvious she can't stomach him.

I'm not defending her, but I think for the most part, she is doing what she is told possibly to keep the peace.

(3,011 posts)I've wondered if some of the deportations are intended as messages to her to show her what he can do to her if she gets out of line. She can be deported without her son. He'd do it, too.
