(4,066 posts)That Melania is championing anti-bullying and morality is just too rich.

(18,837 posts)I have no issue with "prepared remarks" and speechwriters...very few political figures go 100% commando.
But someone like Michelle Obama owned the words she spoke...you never sat there and thought "Who the hell WROTE this?"
Melania took a lot of heat in the initial months of the Trump presidency for doing little more than hanging out in Trump Tower with Barron. With hindsight, maybe that wasn't such a bad thing at all. She's really not cut out for this.

(1,301 posts)Big time. There was never a question. Great depth and always in concert with her true perspective on what she was discussing.

(60,010 posts)It is clear from her robotic tone she has no understanding of what she is actually reading.
Several times she mis-reds and has to back up and hit again.
Wonder what sadistic WH minion wrote that out for her?
same one as "Nambia" maybe?

(7,888 posts)I gave members of the President's family a pass, as long as they stayed out of political discourse. She crossed the line and the entire family (minus the minor children) is now in my cross hairs for derision and shame.

(4,483 posts)I tried to listen to her talk, but her voice is very soft and was not amplified enough for me to be able to understand much of what she was reading. Something I did hear, though, puzzles me.
She said (speaking of the joys and importance of raising children): "Show me your civic lesson, and I will show you the civic leaders of tomorrow; show me your history lesson, and I will show you the political leaders of tomorrow."
Anybody tell me wtf that means?
She also said it was important to bring up our children so they would be willing to sacrifice for our country.
She should have stolen yet another one of Michelle Obama's speeches. Not to mention one of Mrs. Obama's outfits.
