Melania Trump defends rights of Baltimore teens to boo her
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Melania Trump on Tuesday defended the rights of teenagers who booed her when she addressed them in Baltimore, a city her husband, President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
, has disparaged as "rat and rodent infested."
and Feral Youts
She traveled there to urge hundreds of middle and high school students to avoid misusing drugs, saying that would make it harder for them to achieve their life’s goals. But her remarks drew a mix of boos and cheers, and the audience remained noisy throughout her five-minute address.

It is highly unusual for a first lady to be booed at a public appearance. Mrs. Trump released a statement hours after she had returned to the White House, defending the principle of freedom of expression while reaffirming her commitment to the issue that drew her to Baltimore.

"We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse," Mrs. Trump said.

#4 She has more class than the last five first ladies combined.
It is striking how different the coverage of First Lady Melania Trump (*Boo!* Hissss) VS First Lady Jackie Kennedy (*Kiss* Swoooon). What a difference a letter makes ('R' vs 'D').

#5 You don't even have to go back to Jackie Kennedy to see the R vs D hypocrisy. The last first lady was swooned over and even courted to run as president despite doing nothing but pushing school lunches that kids tossed in the bin and for finally being proud of America because it elected her hubby.

#6 What Murcek said.
A strong, elegant, beautiful lady.
A better-looking Jackie O with steel in her spine.

#7 My mother and her wooden spoon are still available to teach the little brats some manners. Mom was *quite* effective in her methods.

#8 The boosh wives have been overtly anti Trump. Nancy Reagan was the sort of opportunist who certainly would have been if she were alive today.

How many languages does Big Mike speak?

(Ebonics doesn't count.)

How 'bout the other last four First Ladies?

Melania reportedly speaks German and French, in addition to English and her two native languages of Slovene and Serbo-Croatian, plus some Italian.

She's a swan among ravens.

#13 Is that 'toned' as in 'can bench press a cab-over Peterbilt'? toned

#14 I would suggest an alternative News and entertainment media. A 24 hour conservative media home. Trump and the family Camelot. Melania could invite the worlds rich and famous. Glamor, fashion and arts. Who needs Hollywood. Nobody wants the liberal media. Would anyone deny themselves needed exposure. We truly have a Camelot story here. Build what people want and they will come.
