Conservatives are outraged, and I mean outraged, by this video from T.I. speculating why Melania skipped out on a weekend with Donald at Mar-a-Lago. Maybe it is just the audacity of the rapper taking a seat in the Oval Office because I can't imagine they would be so upset about the Melania look-a-like. She's bared it all before. But, I guess we should afford her more respect now that she is FLOTUS.
Melania would have us believe she is one of the most bullied persons in the world, which apparently was the reason for wearing that notorious jacket a few months back on her trip to the borderland to commiserate with the caged children.
For the most part, the media has been quite gentle on her, considering her relationship with Donald. Most on-line periodicals focus on her fashion sense and have given her some credit for her philanthropy efforts, even if her "Be Best" campaign has seemed to have little affect on her husband. For all the talk of bullying, she has yet to say word one about the tyrant-in-chief.
I suppose that's understandable as she wouldn't be where she is had not Donald picked her up in a nightclub 20-plus years ago. It was quite a coup for the Slovenian model, who eventually landed a "genius visa" for her extraordinary ability. People are still trying to figure out what that ability is other than being in the right place at the right time and becoming Trump's third trophy wife. She managed to achieve what the two others didn't, access to the White House. This roiled Ivana, who considers herself the true first lady.
The White House realizes that the best thing it has going for it right now is Melania. Until this recent bout of self-pity, she had generally favorable reviews across the board, but people have been slow to warm to her, largely because she is seen as a bit of a cold fish. No matter to conservatives, especially males, who fantasize over her as they would a glamorous porn star. I mean princess.
On the surface there isn't much to Melania. She never had a chance to establish herself. Her fame is entirely linked to Trump. She apparently started out in architectural studies in Ljubljana then switched to modeling after winning an international contract through Jana magazine. She no sooner touched down in New York than she was introduced to the Donald and the rest as they say is history.
If one didn't know better one would almost think she is a spy. Her accent gives her a bit of a "Natasha" feel, and the way it all happened so fast in her relationship with Donald feels like it was ripped from the pages of National Lampoon. Of course, he had to get rid of Marla first.
As we are finding out in his presidency, Trump is a sucker for foreign dictators. Useful idiot I believe is the term. There isn't a single autocrat he hasn't complimented, yet takes umbrage with elected leaders every chance he gets. Vladimir Putin would have been a relatively high ranking official in the KGB back in 1995, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if he had interest in Donald, as the real estate mogul was a highly visible figure. Exactly the kind of guy you could use.
Russians had already been investing heavily in Trump properties, largely to launder their money during the chaotic early days of post-Independence Russia. He had already turned to Russian banks for loans to cover his real estate ventures. So, why not set him up with a beautiful Slovenian girl who could act as a mole.
There is very definitely something shrew-like about Melania in the way she puckers her lips, and those narrow eyes further add to her covert looks. She even liked to play up this look in photo shoots like this one, although now she would probably say she was bullied into posing for those pictures.
Most Americans still give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who questions her character. Others have tossed around conspiracy theories as well. Of course, it is mostly in jest but you really have to wonder what lurks inside those cold eyes of hers? Maybe she just needs someone like T.I. to bring out the tiger inside her.
