She's working for free.

So whatever she chooses to do or not do is fine with me.

Whatever she has as a result of being married to Trump she had before.

The fact remains that First Ladies are not paid.

So anything they do is done for free. Are you demanding that she work for free.

I am not. If she chooses to that is up to her.

There is nothing to suggest Melania is smart, let alone incredibly smart, just as there is nothing to suggest she's a dummy.

Trump was interested in her physical beauty and she was interested in his money. Works for them. Who am I to judge.

She was a B list model, sharing an apartment she furnished on her own from Crate and Barrel.

She chose to agree to move into a unit in Trump Tower to be available to Trump, as he saw fit, long before marriage.

She has no particular marketable skill beyond the Trump name.

As far as I am concerned no FLOTUS needs to have a cause.

Well, she is being a mom as far as we have all seen, so that's definitely something. I was talking in context of the First Lady having to have a cause, per se.

The current Flotus can speak 5 languages fluently. You are right, there is no comparison.

Melania was the sole source of the claim she had a university degree in design and spoke 4 which morphed into 5 languages.

Media exposed the fake educational claim and it was subsequently deleted from her web page. Most Europeans are bi- lingual and able to get bye in multiple languages. That she was able to take direction from a photographer, in a multitude of languages does not mean she is fluent. No one knows.

Good point. Melania Trump is good at taking her clothes off.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that some people would call Michelle Obama "classless," yet it's Melania who has done nude photo shoots and has pictures on the internet of her and another women laying in bed together naked.

You believe the only type of attorney is a trial lawyer?

Most attorney's like MDS and accountants, limit their practice to specialized areas. That less than 2% of civil cases ever go to trial, most attornies are not trial lawyers.

As an aside, none of the Supreme Court Justices were trial lawyers and not all were judges before their appointments.

You may now resume with your next episode of Perry Mason.

As for the Machelle Obama program to help the obesity problem in children...we all know what happened there. She started off with a good plan... teach kids to eat whole fresh foods, get parents to look at cutting out processed foods altogether. Then companies like pepsi and kelloggs got involved to make it look like they were helping and then her program dropped the nutrition aspect and focused just on the being active aspect.
Most, if not all, of the first ladies programs have been failures. Generally speaking, Michelle ended up being okay. We are six months in and Melania has been a pretty gracious first lady. That's good enough for me.

People believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.

Contrary to the fake news reported on the Internet:

Michelle Obama put her license to practice law in an inactive status in Illinois. She was never disciplined by the state.

Same deal for the former POTUS.

Both could reactivated their licenses at any time, should they intend to practice law. Doing so would be inappropriate for any former POTUS/ FLOTUS.

Good luck getting Obama haters to believe your FACTS. Anti-Obama people HATE facts.
