She did, at some point, realize she should look at the camera occasionally. You can tell when she looks at the camera that she only says a few words that she remembered from the last teleprompter she looked at.

Melania trump had immigration advantages that she didn't deserve, and others aren't given.

She didn't have to wait in a damn cage, either, and doesn't really care about those who do.
