Melania Trump agreed with her husband that 'John McCain isn't a war hero,' a former aide says

Former first lady Melania Trump shared her husband's low opinion of the late Republican Sen. John McCain's military record.

She agreed with then-candidate Donald Trump when he said during a 2016 GOP primary event in Iowa that the Arizona senator was "not a war hero," according to Trump's former campaign manager Cory Lewandowski.

Lewandowski, who spoke to Insider as part of an oral history project on Trump's takeover of the GOP, said he and Trump met up with Melania Trump in New Jersey as political pundits and conservative talk-show hosts were saying Trump had to apologize. He thought the comment would end Trump's campaign.

"As we walked in the door, Mrs. Trump was waiting for us," Lewandowski said. "She said: 'You're right. John McCain isn't a war hero. What he has done for the veterans has been shameful.'"

She's as fucking dumb as he is, so I don't find this news in the least bit surprising.

And 2 or 3 is totally normal in most of Europe. There are some countries where 2 and 3 languages are spoken and those countries are small. Slovenia, where she is from, has 3 official languages, Slovene, Hungarian, and Italian. It's a tiny country the size of New jersey or Massachusetts. So if you grew up in New Jersey and there were 3 official languages within your state, chances are you'd learn all 3 in school. And she picked up English when she was learning to be a prostitute. So there's 4 languages right there.

Children who learn multiple languages can pick up other ones very easily. It's possible she learned a 5th or 6th language as many Europeans speak the language of their neighboring countries. Slovenia is known for languages, 92% of the population speaks a foreign language, 71% speak more than 1 foreign language.

She's a snake, just a disgusting and heartless human being.

Can you imagine any Democrat every running for office with a wife like her? Former escort and nude model, has done full frontal nudity photo shoots including lesbian porn. Literally an illegal immigrant at one time. Someone from an Eastern Block that was part of the Axis in WWII, but that also was strongly aligned with Communist Russia after that. Just a filthy mouthed plastic person with zero warmth or compassion for the world. If she was married to a Dem candidate they'd be calling her a Red Sparrow (Russian Spy) from the get go.

He spoke to her in Italian and her face was blank. An interpreter stepped in.

Irony meter overload since Dump took credit for legislation McCain sponsored.

As with birtherism, Melania just parrots her husband's bullsh** talking points.

You can add this one to her standing 100% behind DOLT45 on his Obama birther bullshit.

From my understanding, she is a woman who came here illegally as a paid adult worker, and from there she was able to secure a marriage arrangement with a criminal thug. Then the couple arranged for her parents to come to our country as well. Ironically, the thug that she married also had a foreign-born parent, just like President Obama. Nevertheless, she persisted in her birtherism. It's no surprise that she agreed with the thug's opinion of McCain. Birds of a feather flock together.
