Melania Trump hasn’t done much this year. She acted like she was a furloughed federal worker for more than a month, and she only made a handful of appearances in February. One of those visits was to a children’s hospital on Valentine’s Day, and though I’m loathe to give her credit for anything, the photos from that event were really nice. It just shows me, again, that Melania really only feels comfortable when she’s around kids and she hates her taxpayer-funded gilded cage the rest of the time. So, Melania is generally lazy and useless, and now she’s going on another tour. This is a three-state tour for her stupid Be Best anti-bullying campaign. Just FYI: Melania will not be answering questions about Michael Cohen’s testimony.
On Monday morning First Lady Melania Trump embarked on a three-state tour to promote her “Be Best” campaign on children’s welfare, which is her signature work inside the White House. One thing she did not want to talk about?
A very public apology about Stormy Daniels made to her by President Donald Trump‘s former attorney Michael Cohen during marathon Congressional testimony last week. Melania, 48, ignored a question from reporters traveling with her on her tour as she prepared to fly out from Washington, D.C.
On Wednesday, Cohen testified before the House Oversight and Reform Committee that he had been instructed by the president to lie to the first lady about the president’s affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Daniels alleges she and the president had sex beginning in 2006, a year after he married Melania. He has vigorously denied any affair. Speaking before Congress last week, Cohen said he deeply regretted keeping the truth from Melania.
“He [Trump] asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did,” he said, adding, “Lying to the First Lady is one of my biggest regrets. She is a kind, good person. I respect her greatly — and she did not deserve that.”
I bring this up because I was watching cable news a few days ago, and some Republican operative was going on and on about the Clinton impeachment and how it was such a dark time for America (it was not) and how Bill Clinton Lied, etc etc. And I was just like… remember that time? Remember how the Clintons’ marriage was dissected on an hourly basis for like thirty years? And Melania gets to breeze in and out, refusing to answer questions about her sham marriage and her cheating fatass husband.
I also think about this a lot too: Melania has never had to answer substantive questions about her sham modeling career. Quinn Cummings broke down how odd it is that we’ve never really been able to account for an entire decade of Melania’s life (follow the Twitter thread):
I keep thinking about Melania's zed card.
If you aren't near the modeling business, a zed card or a comp card is the modeling equivalent of a headshot. It's slightly different, because their stats will be on it and headshots are mostly of the actor's, well, head.

I remember the Clinton years as a time of peace and prosperity—for everyone, not just the billionaires.
It wasn’t for those in the military.
We were used as world police and babysitters and although, we volunteered to join, that’s NOT what we volunteered to do: ” I will support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic…”, meanwhile, the draw down and “work smarter, not harder”.
Of course, it’s good to go help in times of disasters and all but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m all for work smarter but the military was drawn down too quickly, benefits were cut and military personnel had to do the job of 2 and 3, 4 people AND MISTAKES WERE MADE and it still pisses me off when Clinton and now Trump ignores a military person’s salute when they leave AF One.
That military soldier, airman, marine, sailor has to hold the salute until it’s returned.
BUT, that’s the reason you can retire after ONLY 20 years of service.
You are hoping you can make it and they are betting that you don’t.
Also, I don’t care what, “Slick Willie”, “Teflon Bill”, did in his personal life but constantly lying to everyone wasn’t okay.
Why are you talking about Bill twenty (20) years after he left office. Don’t Don the Con gives you enough to talk about? He lies over 8,000 times in the last two years, you can start there, do you think that is something to be mad about. Nothing coming out of this man’s mouth we can believe.
Kaiser brought Clinton into the story and Minx brought Clinton into the thread…., Nancypants gets to respond…🤷♀️
It actually isn’t normal for the President to return a salute, because he is very deliberately a civilian Commander-in-Chief. Reagan and Trump in particular have done it for political and play-acting reasons, like Trump pretending to vroom vroom drive a big truck. Sometimes Presidents have done it in non-routine circumstances, but I don’t think they should. It means something only in a military context and the President being clearly a civilian is a very important part of our history and traditions.
So if those military are holding a salute, it is because it is part of their protocol and they are not actually supposed to expect a civilian President to return the salute. If it’s a problem, the protocol needs to be changed and clear instructions should be given about when they stop the salute. But it is really important in our system that the CiC be clearly recognized as a civilian and not military in any way, shape, or form even if the President was once in the military. So a President should avoid making military salutes.
jwool: The President is the Commander-In-Chief.
He is supposed to return a salute.
Tell that to literally every President before Reagan. Eisenhower was a 5-star general before he became President and even he didn’t seem to think it was some kind of rule.
Headshots?🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just google images melania trump nude photos. It wasn’t her head they were shooting.
I remember the pearl clutching that went on when Michelle dared to bare her arms. Fuck ALL trump supporters.
This! Obama was heavily criticized for wearing a brown suit but Trump says he’s a white nationalist and no one blinks.
All I have to say is, she knows the man she marries is a liar, and a thief who stole the presidency and she still holds his hands. She’s no better than the rest. I could care about her.
I actually forget this woman exists. What is she doing all the time in hiding?
That was the most interesting Twitter thread in quite a while. A friend and I jokingly speculated that she is his Russian handler, but at this point, I’m not sure it’s a joke.
omg I’m gonna latch onto that theory! too good lol
Mr. Phelps has been saying that for awhile now too.
Thank you for that Twitter account, I started following her. I have said the same exact things, and I like seeing someone who has also put one and one together and gotten to two regarding Melania. Sometimes I feel like I am crazy. She was no model.
And when she says it’s no shame on her but it’s another connection between donny and the sex trade, I wanted to scream YES PREACH PREACH!
That is exactly right. This isn’t about Melania. It’s about him.
It’s true and I’m surprised no one has asked this before – where is her Work? When I was modeling I had a new card made with the new headshot and samples of work every year. I don’t know any model that didn’t have a card but it is possible that her agent submitted her directly, without casting. Their story has been consistent in that he, her agent brought her to America and signed with the agency he was the head of. You don’t need a big stuff to run one, just a ton of good connections so it’s very plausible that he submitted her to the people he knew directly.
It is also possible that she has a few cards but just never released them to the media. She was never a big name and at this point her modeling career is ancient history. But yes, we’ve seen her with a rubber dolphin and a couple of exotic looking shots in lingerie. I can’t remember much else besides her early b/w and that pseudo lesbian erotic stuff.
In any case, it doesn’t sound seem like she did that much work in the US anyway. I would even say that we’ve seen most of what she did and all of it was after she had met trump. “Golden Handcuffs” by Nina Burleigh talks about trump hustling on her behalf and asking his buddies to get her this cover and that ad.
Well of course she’s not going to answer those questions! If she did, she would have to admit she’s married to a sexist, cheating, bullying POS that she just married for citizenship and money!
No First Lady has been expected to acknowledge her husband’s sleazy infidelities. Hillary was unfairly dragged for sticking by her cheating husband and father of her child, since everything was so public, but did any reporter actually ask her directly? Can’t remember. I know that Jackie Kennedy was left alone about her husband’s chronic cheating and likewise for the rest. It has been relatively rare to have a President completely faithful to his wife.
Melania is the first one I can recall routinely being criticized for not publicly opposing her husband’s policies and behavior. First Ladies are generally left alone about such things and not expected to do anything seriously political, especially in opposition to their husband. Wives of politicians typically don’t do anything but at most support their husband even if they privately disagree. Wives of anybody don’t usually criticize their husband’s job performance in public.
The main difference being that her husband paid a lot of money to cover up his affairs so as to avoid losing voters right before the election.
She’s a KGB plant.
I think you linked the wrong article and pictures from Melania’s visit. The article that pops up is from 2018. Did she do the same this Valentine’s Day or just more of her usual nothing?
Her eyes are demonic.
