In praise of Melania Trump, the first lady treated terribly by the media
The New York Post ^ | September 1, 2019 | Miranda Devine

A new book comparing Melania Trump and Michelle Obama has brought out predictable slaps against the current first lady from bullies who seek to attack the president through his family.

Pitting two women against each other just never gets old, does it?

“Melania & Michelle: First Ladies in a New Era,” by Tammy R. Vigil, is presented as a mere bipartisan assessment of the public images of both women. But it thinly veils its criticism of one and its admiration of the other. No prizes for guessing who’s who.

Vigil, a Boston academic, notes that Melania “ranks among the least liked of all modern first ladies, [and her] professional life prepared her to serve more as a visual adornment.”

The afterword belatedly acknowledges that “pitting the two women against one another is a troublesome (though common) practice.”

But, hey, if it damages the Trumps, go for it.

Well, there’s nothing like a First Lady who has a deep hatred for her own country. Melania does not live up to that expectation.

They cannot stoop low enough, can they? The Mooch is not even a woman, has no class, is ugly as sin, totally free of grace and charm. Etc.

I’m getting so tired of this. Michelle Obama was a fashion joke. The fawned over her when she began wearing wigs and trying to emulate white women. Instead of representing her own race she appropriated white culture. What is praiseworthy of that

Joan was definitely the funniest woman in the world and definitely right about the Obamas.

Some idiot doctor gave her too much anesthesia and killed her.

Melania has done nothing to deserve any of this. Nothing. I didn’t even believe how many low class/no class people we have out there until she became First Lady. The socialist media supports and eggs it on- so that tells you everything you need to know about them too.

All that you have to know about the so-called “national media” is that they have anything but PRAISE for Melania Trump. = ANYBODY who cannot see that she is SUPERIOR in EVERY way to Michelle Obama is BLINDED BY UNTHINKING HATE & PREJUDICE.

Melania is head and shoulders above the dour, jealous and America-hating former first lady, Michelle. I still remember Michelle exiting Airforce One in her shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes and tied-back hair! NCAA - No class at all - and no respect for the position she now held!

If the Mooch had any class she would, along with Barry, fade back into the woodwork and enjoy her multi-million dollar jet setting lifestyle instead of disrespecting President Trump and all the people who voted for him. If Melania is supposedly the least admired FLOTUS it's not due to anything other than the left's hatred and rage for Hilliary being denied the Presidency. I think Melania is an excellent first lady and she sits at the top of the list of admired women in America. It always galled me that Hilliary could ever show up on that list at all!

I’ll see you and raise you.

Melania is the world’s most beautiful woman — middle-aged division.

And every inch a gracious lady ... unlike her predecessor, who always showed a shocking degree of ingratitude for her distinctly comfortable life. And there are few things more unbecoming than ingratitude among the well-off.

I think the Hildebeast, is even more evil than Slick Willie. I hate to think what it would be like, if that wench had gotten elected. I think she would have been worse than the Obungler. 👎

This is not the first time for the press. Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford, Pat Nixon.

The last time the press was NOT intentionally nasty to a Republican first lady was Mamie Eisenhower.

There hasn’t been a nasty thing said by the MS about a Demonrat first lady ever, in my memory.

"Pitting two women against each other just never gets old, does it?"

One real woman, and a Wookie is more like it.
