Melania Trump Is Lonely, Racist and Obsessed With Michelle Obama in Short Story by [tr]
Newsweek ^ | 10/23/2017 | Tufayel Ahmed

Melania Trump is lonely and obsessed with Michelle Obama. At least in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s version of events anyway.

The Nigerian author has penned a short story for the The New York Times’ style magazine, T, which paints the first lady—referred to throughout only as “Mrs T”—as the reluctant wife of the president who displays an unease with her political fame. And she’s a little bit racist, too.

Adichie’s “micronovel,” Janelle Asked to the Bedroom, envisions a conversation between a forlorn Trump and her pilates instructor Janelle. The story was published on the Times website and on the T magazine Instagram page.

In the short story, Janelle is unusually called to join Mrs T in her bedroom, rather than her home gym, and is surprised to find the first lady looking “disheveled, her manner distracted.”

Adichie's fictional account also portrays Trump as envious of her predecessor’s natural ease in the role of first lady. Mrs T shows Janelle a video she’s been watching on YouTube of Michelle Obama visiting a classroom. She also reveals a folder full of pictures of Obama on her laptop. “Look at this. I always look at them for the inspiration,” she says.

In this fictional world, Mrs T’s only source of joy comes from her 11-year-old son, Barron. The first lady perks up speaking to her son, who is described as “sweetly shy and polite, dependent on his mother for his sense of self.”

But Adichie’s imagined Trump also exhibits a casual racism that her husband, President Donald Trump, is often accused of sharing.

Complete Alinksy. Accuse the other of what you know to be true of yourself.

MO was the first racist anti-American first lady. This is why MAGA resonates with so many people. We remember a time when crap like this would not have been published and even though it went unpublished, the person who wrote it would have been held up with scorn. Despicable bitch.

Michael Obama is a gangly, horse-toothed drag queen.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a blatant hater, bigot and has a depraved mind.

She also writes like a child.

And yes, I can judge that.

Even if you imagine this reversed, with a Michelle Obama clone as the main character who is jealous of Melania Trump, this story cannot be made acceptable. The quality of writing would barely have been adequate from my children in 7th grade. The idea is disgusting. The execution is disgusting. Have these people no shame?
