White House adviser Peter Navarro: 'Melania Trump is the Jackie Kennedy of her time'

[Arkansas Granny]

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday likened First Lady Melania Trump to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

Navarro made the remarks while speaking to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell about a possible vaccine for COVID-19. His comments came prior to the second night of the 2020 Republican National Convention, when Melania Trump is scheduled to speak.

“You know, tonight, maybe [I will] touch a little bit on what’s going to happen,” Navarro said. “I think it might be useful. I think Melania Trump will be introducing the new Rose Garden.”

“You know, I find her to be the Jackie Kennedy of her time,” he continued, “the beauty, the elegance, the soft-spokenness. I think she’ll deliver a powerful message to the American people.”

I don't see how even one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders could make a statement comparing Melania to Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The Trump cult is totally delusional.

1. Ehhhhh.....

not exactly.

[sunonmars]

2. How dare he compare that lazy trampy arrogant clotheshorse to Jackie O, i'd slap him silly for that.

[2naSalit]

30. Ditto.

[Me.]

3. Will She Be Wearing Clothes?

I Predict the moment she begins to speak the pics are going to hit the net.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Yeah, like Jackie would have ever posed for soft-core porn shots

or worn a jacket that said "I Don't Care, Do U"? Or married a crooked real estate developer for citizenship and money.

[SheltieLover]

8. No way!

Someone should wash his mouth out with soap!

[magicarpet]

26. Have him gargle with gasoline,..

Then someone strike a Bic lighter by his face.

[SheltieLover]

28. Indeed!

[Sneederbunk]

5. Jacqueline Kennedy cared.

[NCjack]

6. Jackie had class and Melania never will. nt

[rockfordfile]

7. lol. That's how out of touch they are

[SWBTATTReg]

9. He is so full of bullshit (pardon language) that I am close to barfing.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. Your language is pretty mild compared to what went through my mind.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Ha ha heh...I thank you for your thoughts that I didn't express. I'm too nice generally to speak

ill of these thugs and goons, but that limitation on myself is rapidly disappearing. Like someone on DU recently said, it's like rump's party consists of the bullies that we all grew up with in days past. No longer will I be silent, be quiet w/ all of the excesses that seem to flow nonstop from these bullies.

Take care!

[JT45242]

11. there is one thing...in which they are alike

They both turned a blind eye to the vast amount of philandering that their husbands engaged in.

Of course one difference was that Melania was both a perpetrator and a victim of the philandering. Jackie was just a victim.

[Mad_Dem_X]

12. !

[Docreed2003]

13. Um...sorry bud

We've already had the Jackie O of our times...her name is Michelle Obama. Your side continues to vilify and try to diminish her. How about you guys try to find your own "icons" instead of coopting ours. Jackie Kennedy had class, something Melania will never have

[Totally Tunsie]

25. +100

[CTyankee]

15. I know she won't comment, but I'd love to hear what Caroline thinks of this.

[Nevilledog]

16. Yeah, they're almost indistinguishable.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Just on a whim, I googled images of Jackie from 50-60 years ago. Her sense of style was so classic

that most of her outfits would still look fashionable today.

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. Excepting of course, that Jackie Kennedy actually was fluent in 2 other languages...

(French and Spanish) and apparently conversational in another two (German and Italian), unlike Melania, who it is claimed speaks 5 but there is absolutely no evidence she speaks more than two.

If Melania is the Jackie Kennedy of our time, our time is warped and our standards have not only fallen, but disappeared.

[2naSalit]

31. More like 1 and a half...

She struggles with English.

[gratuitous]

19. So conservatives think Jackie Kennedy was all right now?

I wonder why Navarro didn't compare the Third Lady to, say, Pat Nixon or Barbara Bush?

[SEMILIB]

20. Maybe....

Nah.

[Iliyah]

21. Why do RWers like to compare themselves to Democrats? . . . .

Also, they love to quite MLK as well.

She is no Jackie O.

[SixString]

22. Yea, She's all class.

My ass.

[magicarpet]

29. That nearly nipple cleavage shot while posing on the white piano,...

.... was definitely not Jackie Kennedy photo shoot.

Jackie was not a white trash low life slut to gleefully pose nude for the cameras

[2naSalit]

32. And that's putting it nicely.

She looks like she was beaten just prior to the shutter click.

[NurseJackie]

36. She looks like a hooker... and not a very good one.

That "Baroque Bordello" decor just SCREAMS "tacky" and "trashy".

It's what people with NO CLASS think that class looks like.

[SixString]

38. Grandpa Trumps Bawdy House.

[JHB]

23. They're like bratty kids pushing a chair under a mantlepiece so they can climb up...

...and smear their sticky fingers all over a fine momento.

Gotta Have!

[warrior1]

24. November 22....

[Tanuki]

27. Unlike the fraud consort we have today, Mrs. Kennedy actually was fluent in several languages.

Here she delivers a speech in Spanish, which she did on numerous occasions:

Here she gives an interview in French:

[Norbert]

33. Jackie had more class in her pinky

Navarro is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs.

[GoCubsGo]

34. Get Jackie Kennedy's name out of your filthy, traitorous yap, you fucking asshole.

That two-bit bag of silicone and botox isn't worthy of cleaning up after Caroline's pony, let alone be compared to Jackie in any way, other than as an example of being the exact opposite of everything that Jackie Kennedy was.

[Cha]

35. STFU & Take a seat, navarro.. here's worst lady tearing up Jackie's garden.

Link to tweet

[struggle4progress]

37. .

[Vinca]

39. Ah, no. More like she's the Gypsy Rose Lee of her time.

[Peacetrain]

40. So that is why she destroyed Jackies Rose Garden.. to replace it with her vision of drabness

think about that colorful garden with the crabapple trees and now the nothingness of one color rose.. (white) that I have seen but just lacks everything

[democrattotheend]

41. I don't really have anything against Melania

I mostly feel sorry for her, TBH. But Jackie O she is not.
