Melania was booed at a Be Best event in Baltimore today.

[demmiblue]

At youth opioid awareness event in Baltimore for a speech to attendees mostly of high school and middle school age, @FLOTUS was loudly booed upon introduction. Talking continued throughout her five minute remarks.

In my three years covering @FLOTUS at events, that was the worst booing she has received at a public event where she has given solo remarks.

1. K n R ! Thanks for posting!

[dewsgirl]

2. This is delicious.😋

[hlthe2b]

3. The victimization shall now commence in earnest...

1..2...3..

May even require a trip to Fox from Stephanie whatever her name...

[onecaliberal]

4. I don't really care, do you?

[snowybirdie]

18. You win

the Internet today!

[progressoid]

5. It's almost as if they wanted to pick the least friendly (to potus) audience in the US,

knowing this would happen, just to get the MAGAts riled up.

[demmiblue]

11. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. n/t

[Gothmog]

6. Melania is a a birther and so this does not surprise me

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. Birther Barbie doesn't care about kids in cages nor climate crisis

Looks like the high schoolers recognize one of their enemies in the battle for survival.

[catbyte]

7. Why would she choose Baltimore, of all places, after the terrible things that thing she married

said about the city? Unless, of course, she is playing professional victim so she can whine about "how awful those people" were being to her. She's just as vile as that thing she married.

[fierywoman]

32. She actually said, (on her African interview) "I'm one of the most bullied

people in the world."

[Scarsdale]

41. So, her husband bullies

her, too? No big surprise there. She has little self esteem, or stays for a paycheck. Guess it pays better than "escorting" or even nude modelling.

[fierywoman]

46. Every time she steps out, it's in a $700+ pair of shoes and a $3-5,000 outfit.

[Initech]

8. Wow, I'm surprised she would set foot in Baltimore.

Given her asshole husband's relentless attacks on the city. Those boos were well justified. Be best!

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Short Drive

Since she really doesn't care, a longer trip would have been too inconvenient!

[Initech]

22. Yeah god forbid they actually do any real work.

On second thought, you know what? Keep them from doing any actual work.

[IronLionZion]

49. Easier to get to than West Virginia, which has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic

Baltimore is closer and the Trumps associate drugs with cities full of minorities

[smb]

60. Boo Best nt

[demmiblue]

9. VIDEO:

[gratuitous]

10. A "complicated and . . . tenuous relationship with the city of Baltimore"

I guess that's one way of putting it. It's a pretty mealy-mouthed way, to be sure, and works to let Trump off the hook (again) for all the hateful things he's said about Baltimore and its citizens.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. She's a WRETCHED CREATURE and that campaign slogan is the lamest freakin'

pile of STUPID I've ever seen in my life.

[smirkymonkey]

14. No kidding!

"Be Best" - WTF? How about "Learn English!" She has to be the laziest, dumbest and most useless first lady in the history of this country. I wish that entire family would just disappear from the face of the earth.

[dewsgirl]

24. Oh but she speaks 6 languages...🙄

[magicarpet]

27. And she has six doctorate degrees from Oxford...

.... and her IQ is 150 points higher than Albert Einstein's.

[dewsgirl]

28. LOL😆

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Just because she learned to say "Get off of me, you troll-under-bridge!" in four languages

other than her standard Shitty English (emphasis on Shitty, hence the capitalization) and her native tongue, does not mean she speaks six languages.

[dewsgirl]

34. LOL

[Midnight Writer]

35. I heard the first time she played golf she got six holes in one.

And when she was a baby a snake got in her crib and she strangled it.

An extraordinary woman. An extraordinary human being.

[dewsgirl]

36. She's extraordinary alright. 🙄🙄🙄

[fierywoman]

33. I wish they would yell, "speak english!"

[dewsgirl]

37. It makes me nuts to hear her.

[pandr32]

26. + 100000000

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. Someone should put her dumb ass and her grotesque meat goblin husband's ass, on the

"Be Literate" campaign. Before setting them loose in public.

[dewsgirl]

38. Meat goblin😆

[Maru Kitteh]

64. It would be less grating if at least *one* of them spoke English. nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

39. Just the fact that she arrogantly continued on with her "Be Best' slogan.

There had to have been someone who suggested perhaps before she went public with her little contribution to her office, that she change it to "Be the Best" You know, the way we actually talk in this country. Even after it went public, she could have changed it. But its like the bubble she and her orange dotard live in will not allow them to be seconded guessed.....ever.

Be Best sounds like how a 3 year old would talk. It should be embarrasing to her to keep using it, but like her husband her arrogance dictates that everyone else is wrong, and She Right!

[Maru Kitteh]

58. "Be Your Best" "Be Our Best"

"Be best over flabby coconut-hair husband."

[LiberalLovinLug]

61. Good ones! those would work too.

At least the first couple.

[maxsolomon]

13. Really poor idea, handlers.

Putting Melania out there to take the heat for President Sociopath.

Or maybe that was the plan; gin up sympathy by having minority youth "attack" her?

In that case, poor planning, Youth Opiod Awareness event.

[Dennis Donovan]

15. They weren't booing, they were saying...

"Boooooooooooooooooo fuck you, Clara Petacci!"

[bluedye33139]

16. Trump's power came from the fact that he violated norms

while expecting everyone else to obey norms.

Trump's presidency has changed our country. In some ways for the worse. But as this shows, he can no longer rely upon other people to obey the norms he rejects.

Melania Trump does not have a right to pretend that she deserves respect.

[Pachamama]

17. She is so phony and her soft brown Gestapo Fashion Look doesn't work to cover up what she really is

If the monotonous tone of her voice doesn't put you to sleep, you can hear the insincerity in the way she reads off the written speech.

She left her jacket on because she couldn't wait to get out of there.

Watching her with Conan the Dog at the White House was very telling. She and her even worse half clearly don't like dogs. I predict that if she had to "interact" with any of the youth there in Baltimore at this event, her body language would be very much the same as it was next to Conan the Dog - disdain and distance.

[OliverQ]

19. That's where I graduated.

Glad to see them boo her.

[TeamPooka]

20. Smart kids

They know what’s what and who’s full of shit

[eleny]

23. Smells like a set up

He disses Baltimore. She follows up down the road and gets dissed in return. It doesn't smell right to me.

[dewsgirl]

25. I agree.

[gibraltar72]

31. Not one of his enablers

should be free to mingle with good folks.

[Scarsdale]

42. Obviously she was a nude model.

She has terrible taste in clothes. Shit colored outfit. Looked like she was going to flash the kids if they had treated her better. Wearing a coat like that, like a flasher.

[Mersky]

43. You mean, the *be best* tag scrawled in dry erase, 'I really don't care...'

font didn't win over the crowd? Gasp.



Hey, flotus, how about you quit pretending with your trolling hypocrisy tour?

Leave them kids alone!

[Cha]

56. "..with your trolling hypocrisy tour?.. " Exactly!

Freaking gaslighting sociopath.

[Mersky]

57. I will never fully understand how republicons and this 'administration' have so much energy

To be so continually awful.

That ‘be best’ image hit me viscerally - instantly disgusted me with a resounding,... c’mon, seriously?

[McKim]

44. It Is So Sad that We have stooped....

It makes me so sad that under the Trump regime we have all stooped to this level of discourse.
The vehemence and hate that this regime has stirred up is so unseemly. Part of me is glad they are booed when they go out of their bubble, but another part regrets the anger, hate and nasty feelings that are encouraged by our conflicts.

[Takket]

45. wow.... it is almost as if........

It upsets people when lying, condescending, insincere, pieces of shit who's equally awful husband call their homes rat infested; come and try to bullshit them.

[ChiTownDenny]

47. HAHAHAHAHA.

[IronLionZion]

48. Maybe next she'll go to Alabama

and students will be threatened with punishment if they boo, just like her hubby did after being booed at the world series game.

When it comes to damaging people's well-being, threatening their online safety, and profiting from opioid abuse, this administration always strives to BE BEST.

[Farmer-Rick]

50. She is all buttoned up so nobody thinks she loves to take off her clothes for money.

She should own her profession and help others in similar situations. But no, she pretends she isn't a Slovenian sex worker and plagarises a true first lady's plans with first grade slogans, Be Best????

Who would of thought that when you willingly sleep with a wannabe facist dictator and actively promote his baby caging plans, that the people of the nation would Hate you too? Who would ever think it?

[The Genealogist]

51. I doubt she wanted to be there anymore than her audience wanted he there

I imagine her as someone who prefers go spend money on overpriced clothing and jewelry, and to hoity-toit around a country club showing off and making the staff's lives miserable.

[napi21]

52. I don't remember any first lady being booed. No matter how much people hated their husbands,

The first lady was usually respected. I DO understand why Melania was booed though. Most first ladies stay out of politics!

[lunasun]

59. Sorry can't respect a birther. She had no respect for our prior POTUS

But I understand where you are coming from. Both trumps have truly degraded the honor usually bestowed on occupants of the WH on their own.

[brettdale]

53. haha

Im sure once again the trumps was thinking they were saying Boo Urns.

[Cha]

54. melania deserves it.. she has a lot of gaslighting nerve.

[Blues Heron]

55. Boo best!

good job Baltimore!

[Upthevibe]

62. This "family" is so COMPLETELY

clueless. dt (this is how I refer to him-lower case initials) has said HORRIBLE things about the city of Baltimore. Who could have possibly expected this would go well?!?!

[FloridaBlues]

63. Couldn't happen to a nicer person, don't care either

Of all places why go to Baltimore?
