The Lie at the Heart of Melania’s Speech

The first lady lamented the divides that her husband foments and exploits, and that she herself has done little to overcome.

In order to fill the White House Rose Garden for Melania Trump’s Tuesday night speech, COVID-19 safety procedures were ignored. Attendees did not socially distance and did not mask, and not all were tested beforehand. The speech violated historical conventions about how the White House should be used during a president’s reelection campaign. If, as seems overwhelmingly likely, government resources were used in any way to produce the event, the speech violated laws as well. Melania Trump’s speech did all these things in order to tell a lie. The lie, in this case, was not one of the flamboyant, paranoid lies told by her stepson on the first night of the Republican National Convention. Nor was the lie, in this case, one of the casual misrepresentations of specific checkable facts that filled so much of the convention’s second night. The lie was a more existential one, and one somehow even more symbolic of the Trump presidency than the other kinds of lies. What is uniquely Trumpian about this first lady is that she has done far less for the American people than any first lady in a century—while spending far more public funds on her personal upkeep.

When Donald Trump was elected president, Melania Trump at first refused to move to Washington with him at all. The purpose of the delay, Mary Jordan reported in her book about Melania Trump, was to leverage a more advantageous prenuptial deal out of Trump. Once the money was secured, Melania Trump relocated. Doing as little for public good as possible, grabbing as much as possible from the public Treasury: That has been the approach of the whole Trump family during the Trump presidency. The story Melania Trump narrated in the Rose Garden was, of course, just the opposite. There, she spun her very occasional public acts as a public contribution on the scale of her predecessors’, who all did far more, at less expense. To do the spinning, she violated an important restraint on the use of the White House, and almost certainly involved her staff in violations of federal election law. The text of Melania Trump’s speech was rambling, vapid, and disconnected from reality. It mixed sad laments about the partisan and cultural divides that her husband foments and exploits, and that she herself has done little to overcome, with partisan slams at opponents and the media.

Despite pledging to battle bullying over the internet, Melania has never said a solitary word about her husband's constant Twitter bullying and personal smears.

Melania's recent 'spend money' project was to "beautify" the White House garden. She removed cherry trees and gorgeous flowers planted by Jackie Kennedy. Now it's drained of all color and boringly bland.

The trumps don't like anything that might draw attention away from them.

So a beautiful garden must be rendered "meh" so it doesn't eclipse the trumps.
 
The divine Trump*® is the arbiter of reality itself. If reality displeases the Donald (praise him!), or an any way shades the divine Orange™ glow, he recrafts it; how then can anything the holy concubine says not be gospel?

Libs, such dummies, whadda ya gonna do?

Well Jackie O was just a demoncRat anyway, and real 'muricans understand how much better Melania is than any of that trash family. And Kennedy wasn't half the man any of the Trump® klan is, so there's that.... :coffeepap[/Trumpanzee Mode]
 
Melania is a flower murderer!!!
 
Was great, could watch her all night ......
 
they're putting flowers in cages!

I understand those flowers were held by secret federal agents and water boarded but it turns out they liked that.
 
Your avatar is offensive...and hilarious.

Sorry about that ... Joe is the short version, maybe I will change it to Blow and the Hoe .. not so offensive eh?
 
"The first lady lamented the divides that her husband foments and exploits."

Like peddling the birther conspiracy theory? Melania got "good girl" points for appearing to be the quiet and emotionally neglected wife, but she's married to the mob and is just as horrible as the rest of them.

And you expect to be taken seriously?

It's just a constant river of **** from you people. Idiocy, lies, extreme hackishness, that's it. All you're here to do is send up tribal flares and **** on everything. You'll be the ones openly wondering when democracy finally comes crashing down.

"How could this happen to me?!" you'll be saying.








You did it.

That was absolutely not intended to be taken seriously.

You’re right. Moving flowers around is very serious and should be taken as such.

Cool story, lmfao
 
She's really a completely inconsequential Third Lady. Her #BeBest campaign is a complete failure. Probably because her goldmine husband is a douchebag bully. She has otherwise done nothing but stand there when needed.
 
In case anyone was wondering who her outfir reminded you of....
