grew up as the daughter of a party member who was given a relatively high standard of living. And she was a successful model before she took up with him. She had more options than most people.

You can't hear him speak for more than a minute or two without knowing what he is, so she knew what she was signing up for.

And finally, she was an outspoken birther.

She wasn't a victim of anything. She made choices from a position of comfort and autonomy, and her decision was Trump. Nothing to pity or empathize with there.

I think her parents are well off anyway.

I don't know what you mean that she "sought a better life". She came here on a work visa. She was a model, she could have married numerous decent men. Nobody forced her into this marriage. Maybe she "sought a better life" by coming to the US, but what does marrying Donald Trump have anything to do with "seeking a better life"? Just because she is a foreigner, she isn't stupid. She knew who he was and what he stood for.

I do not think she is a victim. She is an attractive woman who is married to a super A-hole. She will be set for life if she chooses to leave him.

She is not a victim.

not me. I think she is just another self-centered, idiotic trump.

The only thing I have seen her show compassion about is bringing 2 WH workers with her to the bush funeral.

Her anti-cyber bullying campaign is going great. Well if her goal was to effusively praise her husband as he was tweeting about "crooked Hillary"

She feigns the hurt wife when she finds out about trump affairs. Which have been in the media from at least 2011. IOW she knew, but we get the pay the price for her separate travels to the same destination.

and act independently. She chooses to remain quiet, enjoy all the privileges her husband actively takes from others. There is no way she is completely in the dark about how abusive her husband is -- she has a television set, and yet she stays and enjoys the wealth. If the world were just, she would be stripped of all her wealth and left penniless while her husband rots in jail.

She’s cold and distant. She’s never uttered anything remotely interesting,original or intelligent She did not have the decency or grace to apologize to Michelle Obama when caught plagiarizing her. She’s done zero to earn the nation’s respect.

Just because she can rock a dress doesn’t mean we have to look up to her.
