Was Melania Trump hung out to take incoming mean tweets?

Seems likely. I recall Palin was easily attacked and the right rallied around her because the big, bad liberals made fun of her. Melania's ridiculous remarks seemed like "Gaslighting". Now I think they wanted her to be attacked.

if she had just told some stupid lame story even if it was made up it might have passed without much thought.

but bringing up bullying and people who attack others on their looks make people automatically think of the obvious hypocrisy .

it seems every time he parades Melania in public this is his thought. But I get the feeling Melania knows she's playing a game for the moment. Does anyone else wonder if Barron has been bullied this year?

Just saw ABC morning news show her part of speech about bullying and then ABC shifted immediately to especially nasty and false Trump tweets. Media is not letting go of the ludicrous irony of her speech when her husband is most disgusting prominent bully out there.
