I myself don't have ANY problem with it. I just find it curious that these Bible-waving, scripture-jabbering HORDES find HER acceptable along with her rapist, racist, pussy-grabbing husband.

However. . . Were she a LIBERAL First Lady AND a porn star? It certainly wouldn't bother me.

Ain't that the truth.

This woman's a racist birther just like her racist husband IS. She didn't think twice before she attacked the Pres. over his birth certificate. Guess it was the President's brown skin and her white skin that got her thinking that way and saying what she said.

She gets no pass from me. I hold her accountable for her racist birthirism.

Out of the DOOR and after 8 years, Michelle was just deplorably called an ape in heels by a racist WV official, and her friend, the mayor of Clay WV thought that was funny--saying it made her day. Thank goodness that racist official was forced to resign.

the hook for the cost of separate homes. The Trumps are being fiscally irresponsible. I don't even want to think about how money they will charge the Govt for space in Trump Tower. It will be interesting to see the occupancy rate as condo owners, businesses and stores bail out of the building. I wonder how much debt he is carrying on that building.

I can't imagine the people of NYC being happy about the circus and the impact on businesses in the area. This is the ultimate third finger in tha air to all those who never really accepted the Trumps as one of them.

That being said I'm not planning on any Melania bashing, I think she's trying hard to protect her kid as much as she can.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems to me that calling her "not a lady" is just another way to slut shame her.

Melania really shouldn't be the target at all. I don't have any issues with her, whether she posed nude or even copied Michelle's speech. I don't think she's that bright, but I don't see her as my enemy or anyone worthy of spewing venom at over how she chose to earn her living, even if she married Trump for his money.

I just flat out don't care.

I see this as sexist attacks against her and the right has been far more virulent in regards to Michelle.

What I read here bothers me a hell of a lot as a woman.

Porn is consenting adults having sex in front of a camera. Anything other than that is just a crime.

I don't give a flying fuck if she was in the middle of a basketball gangbang. She is still an adult making her own decisions and she shouldn't be stigmatized for it.

Her posing nude is not an issue and shouldn't be at all.

What should be at issue is her husband and the fucking Reich he wants to institute here in this country.

And you bitch about porn. SMFH.

And I hope (wish?) that the press would watch her business dealings (and her husband's) with an eye out for corruption like a dog watches its owner eat a meat-lovers pizza.

But I will not forget her past which is fact.

I think Donald wants Ivanka in the role of First Lady because he is embarrassed at Melania. He's embarrassed that she has a hard time speaking in public, and she is, after all, on the downhill slide to 50. For a "pussy grabber", a 50-year old woman is an embarrassment to his virility.
