What are your thoughts re Melania Trump?
Independently evaluated. Not measured against any past FLs.
Some random thoughts...
- I have read that she's something of a "gold digger", and has allegedly admitted before to being with The Donald only for the money and lifestyle. I can believe that. (Seriously, can't be his charm.)
- I sense that she's not particularly enamored with being First lady.
- I sense that The Donald never discussed it with her even once. He just told her what he was going to do after he decided (and probably talked with others).
- She doesn't put forth exceptional effort at being FL, but what she does do is nice and well-intended, I think.
- I think she catches a lot of unnecessary dumb ass crap that she doesn't deserve. I.e.: shoes.
Bottom line: I like her. She's not perfect, or enthusiastic, but I think she's just fine. She certainly shows more decorum and dignity than pretty much everyone else around her.
I agree with all this. I've frequently said that she was dragged into the campaign against her will. However, she has always conducted herself with a measured class that her husband lacks, conducts herself graciously and appropriately, definitely doesn't seek out the limelight for herself, is above average intelligence, well educated, and speaks five languages. She's probably Donald Trump's biggest political asset here and abroad.
I have nothing negative to say about her whatsoever.
