She is a malevolent person, a fully active and engaged participant in the awfulness of Trumpland.
Her tweets are not those of an out of touch person or someone who is ignoring the actions of her husband.
They are tweets of a person who is intentionally twisting the knife in those who have been hurt by him and winking at those who support him in his malice while silently praying under her breath that people loudly denounce her so she can again claim to be a victim of unfair criticism.
It is long past time for all media and pundits to stop engaging with her as if she is genuine but misguided.

(4,291 posts)From the Associated Press (which now probably makes them fake gnus to some):
The details of Mrs. Trumps early paid modeling work in the U.S. emerged in the final days of a bitter presidential campaign in which her husband, Donald Trump, has taken a hard line on immigration laws and those who violate them. Trump has proposed broader use of the governments E-verify system allowing employers to check whether job applicants are authorized to work. He has noted that federal law prohibits illegally paying immigrants.
Mrs. Trump, who received a green card in March 2001 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, has always maintained that she arrived in the country legally and never violated the terms of her immigration status. During the presidential campaign, she has cited her story to defend her husbands hard line on immigration.
Nullify her naturalization and deport her ass back to Slovenia. And her parents, too!

(28,125 posts)That's too stupid to come up with her own material so had to plagiarize a real first lady. And I don't think she realizes what a predicament she's in now or she'd be hiring an attorney.

(62,276 posts)...women who willfully enter in to these kinds of relationships are their own special type of sociopath. They know damn well where they stand in the view of their husbands, and they're absolutely, 100%, fine with it. They are using the husband as much as the husband is using them.

(10,885 posts)She went into it eyes wide open, and it becomes clearer by the day and by the tweet that she's not just tolerating her disgusting husband, she actually agrees with and supports him. She's as horrendous as he is.

Oh,and she makes 100k a year from Getty Images for the use of her Photo in any news article.
Out side of that,she is still the Escort from Slovenia slumming around in the White House at our expense. Grifter.

(51,608 posts)her the benefit of doubt. When I do they are usually surprised since they do not know she sides with her husband on issues like birtherism. Speaking up to people and correcting them is how we can each correct the facts for those who aren't as informed as they could and should be. I have corrected some people, who are Dems by the way, about the caravan of people coming up through Mexico as dangerous rapists and gang members instead of people FLEEING gangs and rapists if their home country.

(6,974 posts)When she went all birther and asked Pres. Obama to see his birth certificate thinking hers was the shit because she was WHITE and EUROPEAN, I was through with that alleged escort/racist right then and there. I caught flack on this very site for it. Welp now I guess folks see what I saw on the View and are no longer fooled by her shit.
She's a complicit, racist POS=let me spell it out: A piece of SHIT.

(32,644 posts)Omarosa seems to think that Melania may feel trapped but she's getting back at him whenever she can. Omarosa thinks she's counting the days til this Presidency-hell is over and she can divorce his ass.
Lots of gossip in her book "Unhinged" - I just mentioned a few of her milder comments.
