With many First Ladies across several centuries, how do you think Melania will be viewed in the history of First Ladies? I know not even a year has passed since she became First Lady, so the jury is still out. This is more of a forward looking question.
We only have history books (oh wait, I'm old - let's make that modern and say Google) to decide amongst all of the First Ladies ever. Since 1960 when I was born, based on many factors from simple "stage presence" to their involvement with being a representative for our country and active across many fronts, I think we've had several decent ones despite of their POTUS husbands (good or bad). Kennedy, Obama, Reagan - all I feel were decent in their "roles".
In my opinion, because of Donald Trump I don't believe Melania stands a chance of being thought of as anything but a trophy First Lady for Donald, even if she is capable of being something really good.
Melania has style, no substance! She's a trophy wife, nothing more.
Trump worked harder on the campaign than any man ever, and he didn't rely on TV ads or celebrity endorsements.
And by June, President Trump had signed 37 bills into law, while Obama only 24.
I feel like Obama was a show horse.
Trump signed 37 executive orders, exactly like the ones Obama was excoriated for using. He has yet to sign but one actual piece of legislation, which may be due to the fact that he has no idea how the government works.

Don't know and don't care. First ladies don't do anything. I'm more concerned about how The Donald does in his 4 or 8 years.

Or more likely, it may be because Congress hasn't actually, you know, passed any legislation.
It showed that Hillary has no respect for women, she said harsh things about Bill's accusers and dismissed them without thought.
Plus I'm sure she know what kind of person Bill was, so she had to have an idea that the accusations were legit....
Nonsense. Those are unfounded claims. The only comment clearly made towards any woman sleeping with her husband was toward Monica Lewinsky and it was accurate. Hillary was poised through it all and those pathetic indivduals looking for ways to attack her due to her husband's poor behavior are upset about it.
Such as what? Get back to us on that; I'm sure you'll have to think about it long and hard.
36 pieces of legislation, compared to Obamas 24 at this time in terms.
