Melania Trump Just Gave Her Farewell Address Amid Backlash For Snubbing Dr. Jill Biden

Source: Glamour

After four years, Melania Trump has given her last address as First Lady of the United States.

In the six-minute pre-recorded speech, Melania promoted “love over hatred,” a somewhat befuddling message to come from the administration that peddled lies about the 2020 election results, encouraged insurrection, and refused to attend the upcoming Inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. “Be passionate in everything you do,” she said. “But always remember that violence is never the answer and will never be justified.”

-snip-

It's important to remember that Donald Trump's wife is hardly a passive part of his legacy. All the way back in 2011, Melania actively peddled her husband's racist birtherism conspiracy that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. And, of course, we all remember the “I Really Don't Care” scandal of 2018.

As recently as today, January 18, Melania Trump is facing backlash yet again for snubbing Dr. Jill Biden. For the first time in 100 years, the First Lady did not invite the incoming president's spouse to visit the White House, despite the fact that Michelle Obama welcomed her four years ago.

She tested positive for gonorrhea but does she still have both still? Sorry the news goes so fast these days.

One less infection vector for Dr. Biden.

Yep. They are the worst. I remember the term "the ugly American" when I was a kid. I think it was based on boorish, entitled behavior demonstrated by some when traveling to other countries.

Well, there goes the biggest one of 'em, with Wife #3, who's a piece of work in her own right.

We'll be rid of him in what Brian Williams said was 37 hours, at the start of tonight's MSNBC show - about a half-hour ago as I post this.

I take it as a message to the boyfriend she left in New York that she'll be back soon and rid of Donnie.

Remember the rumors of a "double" to fill in for her? That does not look like her legs or figure, and I actually have never seen her dress that tacky (with the exception of that famously stupid jacket). Hair seems too blonde. Posture off - Melania doesn't stand like this or close her fingers. I could be all wrong, but I just feel that this isn't Melania and that the outfit is a distraction.

Anyway, buh-bye, Melania!

She gets to move into the White House and doesn't have to talk to Melania. That's a win. I'm sure Joe doesn't give a rat's ass that he won't have to see Donald either.

the layout of it, other than her shitty Christmas decorations and her destruction of the rose garden.

I'm not at all surprised that even though the Republicans were apoplectic about the failures of Hillary and Michelle to be whatever the fuck they wanted them to be, and/or to despise the fact that both first ladies tried to do things that helped the country, and/or took abuse for not being visible enough as First Ladies in myriad situations... that the Republicans haven't given a shit that Melania basically never stayed at the White House, never did anything of any value as first lady, and rarely had any public face at all.
