Trump has won settlements against three outlets for false statements made during her husbands time in the White House. Her litigious strategy tracks with her willingness to push back on her critics by issuing harsh public statements.
This weekend, the British paper the Telegraph apologized and agreed to pay substantial damages after retracting a story that claimed, among other unflattering things, the former models career had been struggling until she met Donald Trump.
That follows the first ladys $2.9 million settlement with the Daily Mail over its false report in 2016 that she had worked as an escort and an unspecified settlement in 2017 with a Maryland blogger who reported similar unfounded rumors and also was forced to retract a post that Trump may have suffered a nervous breakdown after her speech at the Republican National Convention.
And the list could grow. First lady Melania Trump will continue to enforce her rights against reckless writers, reporters, editors and publishers who make false statements about her, said her attorney, Charles Harder, who has represented several high-profile clients, including wrestler Hulk Hogan, who won a $140 million invasion-of-privacy verdict against the gossip website Gawker.

So whatever Trump said or did didnt just affect Melania. Ivanka reacted to it too, even as she kept looking at him. Melania was too affected to look at him any longer. The fact she looked away was her wishing she wasnt there at all.
Trumps look shows hes already dismissed them in his unconcern about how they feel. I dont know if he realizes Ivanka was affected, but his dismissal of Melania Is quite obvious. He didnt even look at her long enough to see if it hit home.
