What a class act! After what had to be a traumatic occurrence with the plane, she did not cancel her scheduled visit.

“Opioid” They never say “heroin” do they because we cannot allow Trumps wall to look like a good idea. Yes, 65,000 people a year are all dying from an “opioid” overdose. Let’s not mention heroin and the fentanyl mixed in with it that comes directly over the border from Mexico flooding the country. It’s an absolute epidemic that is mass killing teens and young adults but to hell with the wall right?

‘Class’ re-defined. Melania has such poise and grace as she faces the hate she must deal with daily - she has the heart of a lioness.

May Almighty God continue to bless her, and protect her!

I’m known as a tough guy around here {tons of evidence] but I don’t think I would have the guts to visit newborns withdrawing from opioids. She is a tough old girl!

Behind every great man is a great woman? Something like that.

I truly believe that Melania is heaven-sent to keep President Trump on task to right so many wrongs that are tearing our nation and all of civilization apart.

Check out Winston Churchill’s biography and his wife’s role in it. I think great people attract each other. Ronald Reagan and his wife. Then look at the Clintons.

You may be right. I sometimes sense the hand of God working within the Trump Presidency, and could any other woman be a more perfect FLOTUS? [at the most critical time in our history] We have a woman who is up to the task, she has handled it brilliantly, and I am personally grateful to her.
