    I think people also forget Melania also wanted to see Obama's birth certificate and advocated for the Birther movement. She isn't a damsel in the White House, but a conscious and avid actor.

    • @vulpixelful
      @vulpixelful 7 років тому +43

      SultanMenzuma I know right? She's wealthy without Trump and this isn't the middle ages, she's not "reluctantly married".

    • @jt5452ohio
      @jt5452ohio 7 років тому +53

      That is a very important point, SultanMenzuma. Melania is where she wants to be. Make no mistake about it.
      I will never understand those who ever believed that the state of Hawaii certifies births that don't happen in their state. It is preposterous.

      Let's face it, Melania's a subordinate of Daddy Trump. He's coached the shit out of her---how to be, how to act, what to say, what not to, etc.

    I've tried to have sympathy. But, I cannot escape the question, "What kind of woman would marry Donald Trump?" He used to be my go to guy for, "If Donald Trump were the last man on earth, I would not marry him." And, I'm not a lesbian. Though, if it came down to it & he were the only male alternative, I would become lesbian faster than he can tell a lie.

    • @sparklemotion1018
      @sparklemotion1018 7 років тому +15

      So, have you seen Melania's soft-core girl-on-girl photos from the 90s? The NY Post ran some of them, and they're still online (on legitimate sites, not porn sites). She made her choice. She picked a greencard, a (heavily discounted) diamond ring, a marriage to Trump (complete with ironclad pre-nup), an unhappy looking child, and (now) a front-row seat to the car-crash that is this disaster of an administration.

      interesting, I'm a lesbian and always thought I could do it with bill clinton and maybe even obama. They wore their power with dignity even through a couple of issues. Now we have 8.3 lies per day via twitter no less and god knows even the hookers had a tough time stomaching trump.

    Why don't these guys guys do a voice acting skit of trump and melania.... stephen with his trump impression and laura with her melania impression.... their duo would be unstoppable

    Would love to see her work with Alec Baldwin on SNL. That'd be so awesome to see.
