Melania Trump keeps getting vilified

LETTERS LETTERS@USATODAY.COM

If there ever was a vilified first lady, it would surely be Melania Trump. No matter what she says, does or wears — it is wrong. Almost all of those against President Donald Trump are against Melania. And no doubt, women love to hate Melania for her stunning looks.

While Melania may be ill-informed about foreign cultures, I seriously doubt that she would intentionally say or wear anything to offend anyone — as she was accused of doing during her trip to Africa, where she wore a pith helmet during safari in Kenya.

It can’t be easy being in the public eye. Nor can it be easy living with, arguably, the most critical man in the world. But if you ask me, Melania is “getting it” from all sides — the public, the news media and probably her family.

Even though Melania may have no monetary concerns, I can’t help wondering if she truly is happy.

Melania Trump’s advisers should work harder on learning what the local customs and meanings of certain clothing items are, then they would have to work less on fixing “misunderstandings.” But I guess that’s hard to do with a gutted State Deptarment.

Melania’s appearance is all she gives us. Who goes to plant a tree or a disaster site in high heels? It’s always about her glamourous appearance, even if it’s insensitive and inappropriate. There is no substance. If she ever followed through on any projects, then maybe she’d get a thumbs up.

Sorry, Melania. What you wear or what you do doesn’t matter. The left is going to twist anything you say, do or wear to criticize you — and your husband through you.
