Commentary: Melania Trump is not a delicate flower or a victim (barf alert, feminazi hater alert)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 2/6/2018 | Petula Dvorak

Posted on 02/07/2018 5:47:48 AM PST by simpson96

Nope, ladies. No more mulligans for Melania.

Thanks to recent revelations of an alleged affair her husband had years ago, a bipartisan sisterhood is coming to the first lady's side. She has been defended and protected. Even a "Saturday Night Live" skit over the weekend gave her the closest thing to sympathy that merciless crew can muster.

The truth is, Melania Trump is not a delicate flower or a victim.

She is a grown woman, an immigrant who made it in a cutthroat industry.

She is capable of tackling tough issues, of respecting the responsibility and opportunity she's been given.

And yet — she hasn't.

America deserves better.

Women say we shouldn't focus on her clothing (like when she wore stilettos to visit Texas after a hurricane); they say it's not right to criticize her for not smiling (the fallen face behind Trump's back at the inauguration); and there's the old "women-have-been-criticized-enough-for-their choices" chorus after she waited so long to move to Washington.

There are the hopeful women trying to find encrypted feminist messages embedded in her movements, her clothing, her rare public statements.

And finally, there's that SNL bit about first ladies comforting Trump, played by Cecily Strong, who confirms that she wore white to the State of the Union address just like the suffragists, just like sister Hillary!

Puh-leeze.

Is being a flower or a victim (real or imagined) a requirement?

I’ve always witnessed the outright hatred ugly women have towards beautiful women. It’s like the denouement of the film “Freaks”.

Did Melania head up a Bimbo-eruptions task force to squelch the myriad accusers of her husband?

>>they say it’s not right to criticize her for not smiling (the fallen face behind Trump’s back at the inauguration);

Don’t the smarmy jaded left refer to this a “RBF” (Resting Bitch Face) and even apply it sarcastically to themselves?

Urban Dictionary: resting bitch face
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=resting%20bitch%20face
a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to.

Scientists have discovered what causes Resting Bitch Face
By Caitlin Gibson February 2, 2016

“All of them have been mocked by Internet commenters for having a certain unintentional expression when their faces are not in motion — a look best described as vaguely annoyed, maybe a little judgy, perhaps slightly bored.”

We don't even need to bring up the Sarah Palin angle M.M.

This hatred for Our First Lady has turned into a true social disorder.

Have you noticed how frequently libs cite SNL as a source in their published criticisms of the Trumps?

I thought that ‘Stormy’ chick stated there was no truth to the affair and she just did it for the publicity?

These hags on the Left are SUCH a bunch of hypocrites! They cheer and drool over ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ who has enabled a serial rapist her entire adult life...and still does!

And last night I caught another episode of ‘Hand Slap Gate’ where they claim Melania is always slapping PDJT’s hand away from her.

Good Lord. These people are nuts!

I'll never get over the vitriol that was lodged against poor Sarah and her family. The left at its ugliest. And, to be frank, Sarah also was the victim of the rise in right-wing hatred. It's now reached its apotheosis with Melania and Trump.

What a hog. And a lying hog at that. Melania did NOT wear stilettos to the hurricane area in Texas. She wore tennis shoes. Is there anything more disgusting than these Democrat women, as ugly on the inside as on the outside?

I don't think she stated it so clearly, but that appears to be the case. The week she was to appear on Kimmel's show, it was reported that she had denied the affair. On Kimmel's show, she said that she had not issued that denial, but she would not confirm whether or not they had an affair. I think she was either paid by the 'rats to start the rumor, or started it to attract more fans to her pole-dancing act.

She's at least smart enough to know that this kind of crap only works during a Republican presidency. If she had accused a 'rat, the "press" would never mention it.

I have the opposite.

I have learned over the years that when I am smiling no one can tell. It wasn’t until my wife complained I never smile in pictures and am so serious in all our photos and videos that I discovered it.

I actually went as far as asking my co-workers “am I smiling right now?” and being told “no.”

Kind of a version of that disorder where people can’t smile I guess.
