Full title: British Newspaper Publishes Massive Apology to Melania Trump; Will Pay First Lady ‘Substantial Damages’ and Legal Costs The British newspaper The Telegraph published a massive apology Saturday to First Lady Melania Trump regarding an article published January 19 that began with the admission, “we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published” and concluded with a promise to pay “substantial damages” and legal costs. “We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these...

Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she...

Melania Trump epitomizes the qualities that Americans should admire in our First Ladies. While clearly both fashionable and beautiful, Mrs. Trump’s most impressive qualities are her toughness, determination in the face of a hostile media environment Every year on the Ringside Politics program, we award our “Turkey” of the year during Thanksgiving and our “Champion” of the year in late December. This year, the “winner” of our turkey award was House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fitting choice for such a failed leader. However, our “Champion” award was a more difficult selection. During the past year, many fine people distinguished themselves...

Is there anything, anything at all, for which President Donald Trump won't be faulted by a press corps that despises him so much they are making a mockery of themselves in front of the world? They slammed the president for failing to visit troops in a war zone. Then, on Christmas night, Trump snuck out of town with Melania to bring Christmas cheer to troops in Iraq. So they slammed him for signing "Make America Great Again" Hats that soldiers brought him, turning the trip into a "campaign stop." It gets even more ridiculous. The scribes at Yahoo News discovered...

Filling out the Trump music videos for the Christmas season, another Melania Fashion Video set to Telemann's "Concerto In D-Major For 3 Trumpets." She SHOULD be on every fashion magazine cover and praised to the sky for the grace she brings the office of FLOTUS. YouTube up-arrows always appreciated for any Trump video. And in case you've forgotten it, here's last year's Melania Fashion Video to the music of Joseph Blanchard.

Melania Trump’s spokeswoman penned an op-ed Monday slamming the media for focusing on “trivial and superficial” matters, like the first lady’s marriage and fashion choices, despite her continued work benefiting children and military families. Stephanie Grisham, Mrs. Trump’s deputy chief of staff for communications, took issue with an opinion piece by CNN contributor Kate Anderson Brower, who accused the first lady of throwing herself a “pity party” for lamenting how she’s covered by the media during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity last week. “This condescending opinion, apparently written in response to a single answer Mrs. Trump gave in...

On Don Lemon's show CNN Tonight on Wednesday, liberal analyst Joan Walsh slammed First Lady Melania Trump for "whining" in a Sean Hannity interview about how the media mangles history on this presidency. Fox's Gutfeld Blasts CNN's Joan Walsh JOAN WALSH: She continues to whine about a situation that she's part of, and it's a great honor to be first lady. And I'm sure privately, you're allowed to grouse, but you know, if Michelle Obama had done half the complaining that she has done in her -- in her limited interviews -- She doesn't do many -- she'd be skewered.I...

First lady Melania Trump on Wednesday criticized journalists and comedians as “opportunists.” In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump accused media figures, authors and “performers” of “using my name or my family name to advance themselves.” “It doesn’t hurt,” she said. “The problem is they’re writing history and it’s not correct.” The first lady told Hannity that despite criticism “from the public or from the media,” she tries to “stay true” to herself and do what she believes is “right.” “I will do what is right and what I feel is right for the country and for...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something filled with the coagulating blood of one’s enemies. The Trump household apparently wasn’t content turning the White House into a dark alternate dimension where all hope dies for just one year—this house of horrors has now become an annual holiday tradition. The White House has shared an official look at First Lady Melania Trump’s latest holiday decor at the White House. Last year, Mrs. “Be Best” turned the hallways of the presidential residence into a living nightmare straight out of Get Out or Voldemort’s bathroom. Shadowy branches crept over the walls, reaching forth...

Initially, Obama chose not to comment on Melania and her role in the White House, saying “I’d prefer not to, you know, speak on what she’s doing versus what I did.” But being the bitter individual she is, Obama couldn’t help but portray Mrs. Trump in a negative light, claiming she offered advice to the new occupant of the White House but was rejected. It is nearly impossible to convey the disdain on Obama’s face when explaining to Roberts that she has never been contacted for advice.

<p>A transoceanic personnel crisis that engulfed the National Security Council this week is partly rooted in a bureaucratic dispute over the seating arrangements aboard first lady Melania Trump’s plane to Africa last month during her maiden solo trip abroad.</p> <p>As the East Wing prepared the flight manifest for the marquee trip, deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel became angry that seats on the first lady’s government jet were assigned to a larger-than-usual security entourage and a small press corps with none for Ricardel or another NSC staffer, according to current U.S. officials and others familiar with the trip and its aftermath.</p>

President Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly may soon be pushed out of the White House after clashing with first lady Melania Trump. The top White House aide and the first lady have had disputes over staffing issues and travel requests, NBC News reported Tuesday. "There have been instances where the East Wing staff were not treated as equals to the male-dominated decision makers in chief Kelly’s office," one White House official told the news outlet. "Promotions were denied then finally granted after months of requests.” Some of the arguments have escalated to the president. The first lady brought up...

The White House and President Trump took some heat on Saturday after it was announced that he would not make a previously scheduled visit to a cemetery in France for Americans killed in World War I due to inclement weather.

Somebody, please! Free Ari Melber from the isolation chamber in which he has been cruelly confined! We say that because the apparently obliviously misinformed Melber unctuously praised View co-host Joy Behar -- a guest on his MSNBC show The Beat Tuesday evening -- saying that she cares in a "nice way," but "you don't demean."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“I think if someone were to step down or retire and I thought I could do a good job and it matched my talents, I’d have to think if it’s the right choice for me.” Chelsea Clinton told The Westchester County Journal News  Well let’s see Chels, maybe you could persuade your Mom that it’s time to “retire” and “step down.” You could slide right into the “most-disliked-Clinton-perpetually-running-for-president” role.  I’ll bet you could do a good a job at that, and I’m positive that it would match your talents – it’s in the genes.Or if that’s not what you...

First lady Melania Trump revealed during an ABC interview aired Friday night that the jacket she wore getting on and off a plane to visit the border was a jab at left-wing media and critics. “I often asking myself if I would not wear that jacket if I would have so much media coverage,” Trump told Chief National Affairs Correspondent Tom Llamas in the interview conducted during her recent trip to Africa. The jacket in question was one she wore only to walk off a plane and again to board the plane that transported her to and from the border...

We Too: First lady Melania Trump sat down with ABC News‘ Tom Llamas on “Good Morning America” for a rare interview without husband and POTUS Donald Trump to answer questions on the record that even the network admits were unscripted and not pre-approved. During one portion of the interview, Llamas asked the gracious first lady if she stood with the #MeToo movement, which, of course, is just the latest Left-wing anti-male narrative. “I support the women, and they need to be heard. We need to support them,” Mrs. Trump replied, adding, “And, you know, also men. Not just women.”

Like the president, Mrs. Trump has eschewed long-held American ideas of how those who make the White House home ought to conduct themselves. And like him, Mrs. Trump is comfortable showing the world that she does not know what she does not know — and that she does not necessarily need to find out. On one of the most consequential days of her husband’s embattled presidency, as the Senate approved his controversial choice for the Supreme Court, Melania Trump traveled to the edge of this sand-colored city and posed before the Great Sphinx, one hand in the pocket of her...
