Melania has not done a thing to introduce herself to the Nation, promote a cause she is passionate about, go on shows for interviews, or get to know the American people. We see her as an ornament to a brutish man getting in and out of cars, AF1, with the ocassional world leader. The seems to be a lack of interest on her part.

Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama were as visible as they could be and we admired them for their work and commitment to the country.
