Jackie Kennedy Onassis would “never have entered the country illegally to become an escort and never would have considered spending a moment with vile trash like Trump,” one critic tweets
President Trump sparked angry criticism on Friday, this time by comparing his wife, Melania, to former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis during a “Fox & Friends” interview.
The president made the comparison while talking about his decision to switch the paint job on Air Force One, which has been around since the early 1960s.
“You know the baby blue doesn’t fit with us,” Trump said. “It was Jackie O and that’s good, but we have our own Jackie O today, it’s called Melania.”
Air Force One will move towards a navy color scheme that also includes shades of gold and red, the president said. “We’ll call it Melania T, OK?” he added.
As you’d expect, Trump comparing his wife to a beloved icon who has been synonymous with grace and style for decades didn’t sit well with many of his critics.
“Jackie O was an educated woman of integrity and grace who gave mightily to this country. She would have never been a birther,” one Twitter user said. “She never entered the country illegally to become an escort and never would have considered spending a moment with vile trash like Trump.”
“If Melania is Jackie O, then today Stormy Daniels should sing a Marilyn Monroesque ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ right before drawing a pic of Trump’s weird mushroom penis,” said another.
Melania is 100 steps up from Jackie....at least.
Jackie O was a fashionable, low IQ political trophy wife Joe Sr. picked for JFK.
Its an insult to Melania, IMHO
There was a Facebook post from a friend in which my friend praised Melania. One of his Leftist friend called her a Russian Slut who posed for nude pictures. And all I was thinking was ‘Wow, and I thought Leftists ignore the past (true or false) of people AND even if true, I would rather have Melania as First Lady than the trashy First ‘Ladies’ who hated our country. Melania so obviously loves this country, she really is a terrific representative of the USA’.
One of my many minor grudges against the leftist Biased media (”MSM”) is that they refuse to acknowledge and act kindly toward our gracious and good First Lady.
No gentle words in quiet interviews as with every past FLOTUS.
No covers of magazines. Someone even said “She is missing opportunities to connect with the voting public for her husband…” by not being the subject of cover stories. SHE had no chance to do so. THEY are undermining her.
Just more justifications for what they deserve as punishment later.
Poor libs. I wonder if they are aware their previous Jackie O was screwing around behind her husband’s back?
Seems she was well aware of Jack’s Hound Doggin’ and indulged in a bit of payback.
It would be interesting to compare first ladies treatments by the media.
How many magazine covers and powder puff interviews were done for Michelle Obama? Versus how many for Mrs. Trump?
How many were done for Hillary back in her first lady days? Laura Bush? Barbara Bush? etc. Melania is basically ignored by the women’s magazines and mainstream media.
“She is missing opportunities to connect with the voting public for her husband…” by not being the subject of cover stories.”
Very true. I’ve started taking note of the tabloid covers in the grocery checkout. Zero President Trump. Zero Melania.
Think back to the nauseating covers we had to endure with the kenyan in office. And his gorilla wife.
Jackie’s married boyfriend was with her when she died.
The comparison does not favor Jackie O.
How to rate Melania? History will tell, but in two and a half years, as First Lady, she wins grudging respect even from CNN. CNN hates the Donald, of course, but of Melania, they could only nitpick on little things (particularly that jacket with the writing in the back, “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?”). Like everything else, CNN does not give the context for that “fashion statement”.
beloved icon = media invention
Never cared for John, any of his kin or camp followers.
Who was that and is it the same guy who she was running around with while was with JFK?
Yes.
Although there are only a few print bookstores left, try walking through one these days.
Coffee table Michelle books, piles of her other books, the golden era of Obama and Michelle, not counting the magazine covers. Enough!
It seems that there is only so much narrative shaping you can push on the peons.
I don’t remember any protests when Michelle Obama was compared with Jackie O.
Except here on FR, of course.
I can see Frank Sinatra; but not Marlon Brando...
His name is Maurice Tempelsman........he wasn’t around in the JFK days.
Jackie O was a gold digger. After JFK she hooked up with Onassis.
You got that right.
