Where’s Melania?

[Anonymous]

Look, if she's sick, it's NBD. But if she's not, she needs to step up. She has a public position and has responsibilities. The First Lady doesn't just get to opt out.

Maybe all of this is a sign as to how outdated the role of FLOTUS really is. Michelle Obama has been open about how she chafed at the idea of the role and the responsibilities it carried.
It's time to lay the idea of First Lady to rest.

Melania Trump Derangement Syndrome
The first lady—and her extended withdrawal from public view—have been weaponized. To what end?


“But for some detractors of her husband and his party, Melania Trump’s disappearance has provided fuel for all manner of wild conspiracy theories: She was physically abused by the president. She has given up on their marriage and moved back to New York. She is holed up with the Obamas. Though the curiosity may be genuine, the theorizing also reflects Melania’s role as a magnet for the fever dreams of tumult and chaos among Trump’s opponents.”

Awesome last phrase. Liberals are most definitely clinging to their "fever dreams of tumult and chaos." These are the people who truly hope for unrest and divisiveness in the U.S. In their tiny minds, the more chaos and infighting, the better. You can see that in exquisite detail here on this forum and it's pathetic.

Like the unrest and divisiveness fomented by the right under Obama?

How is this a sign? All it's a sign of is that this president doesn't want to do the job he was elected to do, and neither does his wife.

She wasn’t elected to do anything. I don’t care what she does. If she isn’t living with DJT though they should cover additional security costs.

Executive time?

She's just another lazy immigrant, suckling on the taxpayer teat.

I could not care less about Melania or her health or her facelift or her marriage. She lost me when she went on TV to push her husband's birther lie about Obama. She's deplorable, like the rest of the Trumpskyites.

Oh, gosh. I am no Trump fan, but I hope this isn't the case.

No one wishes cancer on someone and I hope she’s well, too, but a competent staff would have a story. Betty Ford dealt with cancer in the WH. Melania would have had the well wishes from all as well as the expectation that she should take it easy and not do engagements.

"Well wishes from all"?? Yeah, right. You people have shown your true colors and the notion that you would wish any member of the Trump family "well," even under sad circumstances, is laughable.

Eh, just confirmation that there are not very fine people on both sides.

"She has a public position?". WTF? she's married to the President, but she doesn't get a salary. The first lady's office gets a budget to deal with invitations and managing state dinners, but she could decline every public invitation and delegate all hostess decisions to her office staff. Do we really need the wife of the President to make flower, meal and decoration deciaions for State dinners? Fine if she likes doing it, but if not, then plenty of other people can (beside aspirational rrlatives like Ivanka).

IMO, she doesn't owe the USG one bit of her time or energy.

And I voted for Hillary! Twice!

Then we don't owe her seperate transport, security, residences, etc.

Wtf? This thread is full of liberals who are genuinely concerned with her well being - and an a**hat of cons bent on pretending that this is totally normal! Don’t project your weird hatred on us. We’re worried about her. You aren’t.

Melania is receiving compensation from the government, so stop the BS that she doesn't receive a salary. She does, and anyone who has served in the military can confirm it.

Yes, I can see concern oozing out of posts claiming that Trump has "beaten her to within an inch of her life," or that she's had a tummy tuck or face lift, or any number of ludicrous, mean comments. All of which are discussed breathlessly, hoping some drama really will manifest itself so you people can continue your hatred of everything Trump. The only asshats here are you libs, excitedly waiting to catch a glimpse of her "bruises," which have (hopefully!) been given to her by her husband. So don't claim you're worried about her. It's a bunch of BS that we can all see right through.
