When they go low, Melania Trump calls her lawyers

Trump has won settlements against three outlets for “false statements” made during her husband’s time in the White House. Her litigious strategy tracks with her willingness to push back on her critics by issuing harsh public statements.

This weekend, the British paper the Telegraph apologized and agreed to pay “substantial damages” after retracting a story that claimed, among other unflattering things, the former model’s career had been struggling until she met Donald Trump.

That follows the first lady’s $2.9 million settlement with the Daily Mail over its false report in 2016 that she had worked as an escort and an unspecified settlement in 2017 with a Maryland blogger who reported similar unfounded rumors and also was forced to retract a post that Trump may have suffered a nervous breakdown after her speech at the Republican National Convention.

And the list could grow. “First lady Melania Trump will continue to enforce her rights against reckless writers, reporters, editors and publishers who make false statements about her,” said her attorney, Charles Harder, who has represented several high-profile clients, including wrestler Hulk Hogan, who won a $140 million invasion-of-privacy verdict against the gossip website Gawker.

1. She didn't work as an escort?

3. If the Daily Mail had any proof they wouldn't have lost the case I am guessing.

Although thin line between Sugar Baby and escort.

5. You'd never know from all the nude photo shoots

14. Nude photo escort?

Not a definition of escort I'm familiar with.

7. UK libel laws are much harsher than here. You notice 2 of those suits are against English papers.

Has she sued any US papers, I wonder.

4. Now you've done it...you gave her a sad.

11. The micro expression captured on Ivanka's face

shows disgust to the point of nausea. Try pulling your mouth down on the sides at the same time you tighten your lips and you’ll feel it. Disgust with a hint of nausea.

So whatever Trump said or did didn’t just affect Melania. Ivanka reacted to it too, even as she kept looking at him. Melania was too affected to look at him any longer. The fact she looked away was her wishing she wasn’t there at all.

Trump’s look shows he’s already dismissed them in his unconcern about how they feel. I don’t know if he realizes Ivanka was affected, but his dismissal of Melania Is quite obvious. He didn’t even look at her long enough to see if it hit home.

12. They all have the look

of being miserable sleaze balls! 😡☠️

15. I'm sorry, but they are all hideous people.

Inside and out. The fake, plastic surgery "beauty" can't disguise the ugliness of their souls.

[GWC58]

16. And you'll get

no argument from me. 🤔

2. I wish President Obama would sue her golddigging birther ass!

8. there is a reason she and Donny are together: they are both mean assholes.

don't forget the jacket.

[ProudLib72]

9. Hmmmm, I still say she was a high priced hooker

Sorry, Melanie, but the onus is on you to prove differently.

10. Wonder if Hank Siemers' name has come up in some of those sue-worthy stories

I’ll bet Melania’s long-rumored boyfriend, Hank Siemers, vice President of security for Tiffany and Co., comes up occasionally in those lawsuits.

[UniteFightBack]

13. This is a great money maker for her. She is just as disgusting as her foul fake husband. nt

[GWC58]

17. Most First Lady's are either loved, or the feelings

are neutral. Not so with this one! My least favorite president, and the absolute worst, is married to the worst, least favorite 1st ladee. What a pair. They go together “like peas & carrots.” 😂🤪
