Great article on Melania, past and present, mentioning this:
Kati Marton defines the Presidency as a two-person job, a live/work gig that, combining executive and ceremonial roles, necessarily replicates aspects of the royal court. “If we suddenly had as First Lady a model, whom we would look to for fashion tips alone, that would be a transformative moment, and I think with serious consequences,” Marton told me recently. “If the President has got a smart, plugged-in partner who can get his attention and tell him what’s going on in the land, and when he’s being an idiot, as the best ones have been able to do, that is in our interest. Everybody else serves at his pleasure.” A passive First Spouse, Marton said, can hurt not only her husband but the nation.
Melania Trump, she added, would be “the least experienced and the least prepared First Lady in history.”
The Model American: Melania Trump is the exception to her husband’s nativist politics

This is the kind of non-sense that in a reverse way tries to elevate people like Michelle who really have nothing to offer, but think they are suddenly qualified to run for office when they are done being first lady.
The worst first ladies were Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, who saw themselves as the queen of America. I never was the biggest fan of Dumbya, but Laura was a class act, she knew she was not elected by anyone to ruin healthcare or become the national lunchlady.

Can we knock it off with the model whatever shaming of Mrs. Trump, please? I think she'd do just fine, if The Donald gets elected. I don't agree with his politics, but throwing shade at his wife is messed up.

Reason: bypassing the profanity filter

I am not real thrilled about her posing, but at least she wasn't dealing drugs. What experience does it take to be the First Lady?
I kind of like it she has her own money and has traveled the world. This may eliminate spending as if she was always broke, which will be a breathe of fresh air.
I am counting on Trump to take us out of debt.
