Melania co-signs Presidential Executive Order today

Right wing news reports that Trump signed an executive order to help teens transition from foster care, then invited his wife to add her "ceremonial" signature to the order -- after bragging that they didn't use autopens.

The reports say that he asked her to sign because of her concern for youth and because, he said, "she speaks five languages -- which are her native Slovenian, English, French, German, Italian and a Serbo-Croation legacy language." (For the record that's six languages.)

Imagine the meltdown if Jill Biden, an educator, had done that for any cause....

she signs an Executive Order. Well, I guess that makes sense to Trump anyhow...

The number of languages she speaks (sort of) must be related somehow to the number of wars Trump has stopped.

Why else would he mention The First Trollop's supposed language skills...unless those are not languages but sexual positions I am not familiar with.
