Navarro made the remarks while speaking to MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell about a possible vaccine for COVID-19. His comments came prior to the second night of the 2020 Republican National Convention, when Melania Trump is scheduled to speak.
You know, tonight, maybe [I will] touch a little bit on whats going to happen, Navarro said. I think it might be useful. I think Melania Trump will be introducing the new Rose Garden.

I don't see how even one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders could make a statement comparing Melania to Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The Trump cult is totally delusional.

(22,225 posts)ill of these thugs and goons, but that limitation on myself is rapidly disappearing. Like someone on DU recently said, it's like rump's party consists of the bullies that we all grew up with in days past. No longer will I be silent, be quiet w/ all of the excesses that seem to flow nonstop from these bullies.
Take care!

(2,320 posts)They both turned a blind eye to the vast amount of philandering that their husbands engaged in.
Of course one difference was that Melania was both a perpetrator and a victim of the philandering. Jackie was just a victim.

(16,906 posts)We've already had the Jackie O of our times...her name is Michelle Obama. Your side continues to vilify and try to diminish her. How about you guys try to find your own "icons" instead of coopting ours. Jackie Kennedy had class, something Melania will never have

If Melania is the Jackie Kennedy of our time, our time is warped and our standards have not only fallen, but disappeared.
