Melania Trump says she is one of the most bullied people in the world; distrusts some in the West Wing

By LUCIEN BRUGGEMAN

First lady Melania Trump told ABC News in an exclusive interview that she has told her husband there have been people in his administration she didn't trust who worked for him. She also said she believes she is one of the most bullied people in the world.

Asked by ABC News Chief National Affairs Correspondent Tom Llamas whether there are still people in the president’s administration "he can't trust," the first lady said yes.

"It's harder to govern," the first lady said in a clip set to air Thursday on "Good Morning America." "You always need to watch your back."

The first lady's comments come on the heels of a recent op-ed in The New York Times by an anonymous senior Trump administration official who claimed that many senior officials are trying to "frustrate parts of [Trump's] agenda."

To say this when you are FLOTUS is disgusting.

What of the kids who are gay, or transgender, or have been abused or are being abused lessens their hurt. Those kids and teens who commit suicide or attempt it, all while she lays with the biggest bully.

Now I know why they are together. Both narcissistic greedy woe is me garbage.

If she hadn't married Trump she'd be turning tricks in the Ukraine. What an example for our daughters. Nude model, escort, prostitute, college drop out and gold digger. Now she's being bullied....poor abused little sex worker, she gives all sex workers a bad name with her all her poor little me routine.

Bernardo you beat me to it.

With her husband saying President Obama wasn't born in this country, and also said nothing as her husband appointed a sexual predator who'll hurt women's rights for decades , yet said nothing against this possible gang rapist. No I don't care for this woman,and her whining now she's somehow being mistreated is more BS from another lying and corrupt trump person who thinks they can claim moral high grounds on anything they want whenever it suits them. She acts like she's on something sometimes also. Her credibility is zero for me, and can't be trusted ever for anything coming from her. Has she ever apologize to the Obama's for her lying remakes and accusations she made? Nope. Has she ever attacked trump for putting babies in cages, or ripping children from their parents trying to lose them forever in the system , and she wants sympathy now. Not a chance.

"I could say that I'm the most bullied person in the world," Melania Trump said.

Pressed by Llamas on that assertion, she responded, "One of them -- if you really see what people are saying about me."


People say mean things about her so she feels bullied. Maybe she should get her dear husband to take it down a notch.

always make themselves out to be victims. I actually believe she is one of the most bullied persons on the planet. Look at the disgusting piece of filth she is married to. But do I feel sympathy for her? NOPE. She prostituted herself in order to get trump's money and despite all the ways he objectifies and demeans her (see all the interviews he did on Stern LONG before all this politics nonsense on his part) she stayed. Why? This is no victim, she is an enabler.

and that they finally see who and what she really is: a person who (like her husband) has no empathy for any American, and believes she is entitled to be worshiped. I hope every republican-leaning voter in any red-state hurricane-stricken area (including those affected by the last hurricanes) will hear and remember these words and the disdain that is behind them, and use them as an incentive to forego voting republican ever again.

She married a dirt bag who does business in such a corrupt and crooked way (always has) that they always have to be looking back over their shoulders.

As to these 'resistors' inside Trump's own administration - we STILL have a Constitutional crisis. When the people surrounding a sitting president contravene his decisions 'for the good of the country,' it stinks to high heaven.

We have to take the House and Senate to at least hold this monster in check until 2020. Best case scenario? We get a supermajority in the Senate, the House impeaches Trump, the Senate tries him, and he's taken out of the WH in cuffs. What a nice thought!

Not gonna happen, though, so we need enough of a majority to hold him in check and keep him from doing stuff that would truly be disastrous. It's already gonna take decades to clean up the mess he's left behind.

Chances are good that he inherited his dad's malignant personality traits (which seem to run in that family). Combined with the mother's phoniness and preference for manipulation over substance, I feel sorry for the young people of this country who will have to put up with the next generation of Trumpian spawn.

of course she is miserable, but if she quit, he would probably 'off' her.
