Melania Trump is not oblivious, incompetent, unaware, or tone-deaf. She is a gaslighter and a troll.

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.

From the Associated Press (which now probably makes them fake gnus to some):

WASHINGTON (AP) — Melania Trump was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that occurred in the seven weeks before she had legal permission to work in the country, according to detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago provided to The Associated Press.

The details of Mrs. Trump’s 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 government’s 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 husband’s hard line on immigration.


Nullify her naturalization and deport her ass back to Slovenia. And her parents, too!

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.

Which isn't to say there weren't dissidents (Partisans, etc.) - but the Knausses (Melania's family) were by all acocunts definitely on board with the fascist regime at the time.

...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.

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.

Divorce settlement in the bank. Oh btw,it came from that 170 million Inaugural slush fund.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Girl, u might wanna tell your husband to stop saying white-supremacists are, “good people”, to stop blowing dog-whistle by calling himself a “nationalist”, to stop lying & fanning hysteria re the migrant caravan, to stop leading chants against other Americans. #BeBest...whatever
