The media trained Melania to lay low in Trump's first term. She's probably without a doubt the most beautiful first lady we've ever had, an ex model for crying out loud. Yet how many magazine covers was she on in Trump's first term, absolutely zero. How many invitations did she get to speak to women's groups, almost zero. Compare that to other first ladies. Look at Vogue magazine as an example. Melania was on the cover when she married Trump in 2005 yet as first lady she was not invited even once to do that again. Uggo Jill Biden has been on the cover of Vogue three times since Biden took office. Michelle Obama was on the cover three times. In fact every first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt has been on the cover of Vogue magazine. Why would Melania Trump struggle to become any kind of public figure as first lady when all the media does is mock her and ignore her.


Because she is an uninteresting person otherwise. She's a college dropout whose only success is (a) her looks and (b) marrying a very wealthy man. Jill Biden? An interesting person-former model with a multiple degrees and an EdD. Hillary and Michelle are interesting people-both woman lawyers. They are so interesting the GOP still can't stop talking about them.

You are totally ill informed as usual. I've seen her a bunch of times now talking about her book on podcasts and news programs and she's very interesting and very well spoken and extremely intelligent. Her book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 12 weeks and was number one for a while. She wrote it herself, no co-writer. Just the way she raised her son Baron shows how smart she is. She made sure he learned at least three foreign languages fluently. She has totally prepared him every day of his life for becoming an heir in the Trump family. The reason Baron carries himself so well in public is because of his mother. You are absolutely wrong about her but what else is new.

Uninteresting? She speaks multiple languages and has a great life story to tell. Who cares about degrees? Just paper. Simple fact is if Trump were a left winger the media would say she is a de facto royal Queen. She would be on a nag cover every week. The left wing can’t stand that Trump has her while Bill and Obama were stuck with Hillary and Michelle. Two hats that make Skylar White look like a dream wife.

"Last month it was reported that "Melania" was one of Amazon's best sellers since its release in October. This means that the memoir has been consistently performing, with new people gravitating towards it following Donald Trump's win in the elections this past November. The book was also one of the best sellers at Barnes & Noble, revealing that it's been a success across different sellers and platforms."

It's all a question of morality and what people really value.

If a lawyer gets convicted of a felony they get disbarred; Trump got convicted and he gets elected president.

If a husband cheats on his wife she usually concludes "enough of this cheating P.O.S., I'm out of here" and divorces, but not here: they say "power corrupts," and we see corruption to the max with this "power couple:" their marriage is riddled with disease, propped up solely by a pre-nup and the hope for a huge payday.

To her credit Melania seems to eschew the perks of being first lady, i.e. she remains very private, which I respect.

I'm tempted to feel sorry for Melania but "Why?"

She's a big girl, she knows exactly what she's doing...staying out of the Oaf's way, and getting paid for it: not exactly the recipe for "a happy marriage."

I struggle to move past how largely static and bloodless this memoir is considering the chaotic context in which it arrives. The book is only interesting insofar as it actually introduces us to Melania, who often seems like a kind of phantom


WOW. How many times have you read it Evenbob?

Taking Trump’s money and apparently not required to spend much time with him. I call that a win.

LOL!. Super easy to go to Amazon where the book has thousands of reviews and go to the one star reviews that were left by obvious Trump haters and TDS victims where they trash the book endlessly. Point is, it's been 12 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list for a reason. It's on Amazon's and Barnes and Nobles best seller list for a reason. It's interesting, it's well written, it's a darn good book. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it mostly cuz I don't have much time to read but I'm enjoying the heck out of it. This is an extremely intelligent woman and Trump knows he's damn lucky to have her.

Trump farts are all golden if you ask a Trumpie. Who else would buy all that crap he sells.

We've been through this. SHe speaks multiplelanguages becasue she was born and raised in a Eurpean country, where multilingual is an almost requisite for any kind of academic or vocational success. SHe was taught multiple languages as a primary schoolgirl because that's the way they do it over there. Here in the US, we don't even want to teach ESL and we cry "America First". You can't have it both ways.

Let me know when you hire an accountant to do your taxes, or a lawyer to help with your will, or a physician to give you medical care, who dropped out of college.
