22. I pity Melania - she really has made bad choices all her life
Tue Jan 24, 2017, 01:32 PM
Jan 2017

And now she is in the spotlight because of where those choices led her.

She chose to pursue a modeling career rather than complete college. She chose to appear in soft porn photos. She chose to date a much older married man and then chose to marry him despite knowing how he had treated his previous wives.

I pity her because her self worth is so tied to her appearance that she spends over an hour a day with her stylist to maintain her looks.

I pity her because she does not have a way out without losing everything - her looks (because she would not be able to afford the artificial means to maintain them), the luxurious lifestyle and most likely access to her son. Those seem to the most important things in her life other than the tyrant she has to appease to keep them.

I agree. Just because she supported the weird birther claims doesn't mean she deserves to be abused. RedWedge Jan 2017 #11
