A Gallup Poll released this past Friday found that First Lady Melania Trump is viewed favorably by 54 percent of Americans. That amounts to a remarkable 17 percent improvement since January, which the pollster attributes to Mrs. Trump becoming “better known in her role as first lady.”
But I think there’s another factor Gallup has completely overlooked – the grace with which the First Lady, a committed Christ follower, has evinced in the face of unrelenting attacks from haters, many of whom are members of the so-called Fourth Estate, who think no attack too vile or too petty.
Indeed, at a party last February at New York’s Fashion Week, New York Times features reporter Jacob Bernstein, scurrilously claimed, “Melania is a hooker.”
In August, Washington Post associate editor Elizabeth Breunig disinformed that the First Lady wore heels (rather than the athletic shoes she actually wore) while surveying the damage wrought by Hurricane Harvey.
“Melania’s shoes are impressive,” Bruenig sneered, “but perhaps not what I would wear to a city submerged in floodwaters.”
And just last month, New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino presumed to lampoon the First Lady’s taste in Christmas decoration.
“With the White House Christmas,” snarled Tolentino, who has absolutely no background in interior design, “The image of Melania Trump transforms from fairy-tale prisoner to wicked queen.”
Unlike her husband, The President, the First Lady doesn’t respond to haters like Bernstein, Breunig and Tolentino. She suffers the fools gladly, as the Apostle Paul put it in 2 Corinthians, seeing that she herself is wise.
Indeed, most members of the so-called mainstream media are soulless secularists. Many profess to believe in God. But as the Apostle James admonished, “You believe there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe – and tremble.”
The First Lady, a devout Catholic, is wiser than her attackers because she abides by the word of God: “Repay no evil for evil…do not revenge yourselves… ‘I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
So Melania Trump simply and faithfully lets her light shine among men (and women) – as Jesus himself encouraged – that they may see her good works and glorify the Father who is in heaven.
That’s why she visited a children’s hospital this month in the Nation’s Capital. It’s also why she returned this month to Houston to visit with Hurricane Harvey’s first responders. And it’s why she made a surprise visit to a suburban Detroit school in October to decry bullying.
Melania Trump’s detractors may not acknowledge her good works. But the majority of the American people are well pleased with their First Lady.
She has detractors?
Our lovely Melania is winning hearts like crazy. All she ever has to be is exactly who she is. Her love and sweetness come through.
At last, a wonderful role model for our girls.
Hard to believe, isn’t it? But there are emotionally immature skanks out there who can’t manage their envy any other way.
Remember when the Left and never-Trumpers were saying she would never move to the White House, and their marriage was on the rocks?
Fools will be fools...
I’m waiting for tasteful magazine coverage of our President, First Lady, and/or First Family. And waiting... Maybe then I’ll consider buying a magazine again.
She is indeed. Third time was the charm for the Donald. Can anyone imagine either of the first two Mrs. Trumps being in this role? Because I can’t.
Ivana would have probably wanted to help run the country and Marla...she’d probably would have giggled the whole time.
She is one classy LADY. Lady being the key word
and it could very well be that Donald Trump accepted Christ as his Savior between #2 and Melania.
While initially suspicious, I now have no doubt that Donald Trump is a Christian.
She lights up the darkest of rooms.
Only a woman of true beauty, intelligence and grace could have tied down an Alpha Male who has bedded so many beauty’s as Trump.
I think Ivana would have been good.
Who could detract from this beautiful, graceful, reticent woman??? 54%? It should be 95%! The American people are idiots.
Our lovely Melania is winning hearts like crazy. All she ever has to be is exactly who she is. Her love and sweetness come through.
At last, a wonderful role model for our girls.
That is so beautiful..........and so on point.......thank you for that...........;)
The left responds by referring to her as "Malaria."
Melania bump!
