What an odd quote, it praises communism and says that communism values equality,
in the same way that "I grew up in America so I know all about freedom" would be a positive.
Maybe something got garbled in her broken English.
Actually someone that grew up under communism and has then lived in the US understands about equality and freedom wayyyyy more than the average person that just grew up in the US does.

Your tacky attempt driven by politics to rebrand her statement as "praising communism" just makes you look desperate and unethical.

Just goes to show that all their talk about pulling one's self up by the bootstraps is only relevant for a certain segment of the population.
Yup, nailed it. Reserved for the lighter (or Asian) colored people in this country, everyone else, affirmative action.

Their mindset:

Two people who reached their accomplishments without power, money and connections, but oh, they happened to be black = affirmative action

A man who was born into money and received a small loan of seven figures = that's a great guy I can relate to, who really cares about/relates to middle America

Give me a bleepin' break.

These types of comments usually come from people who tend to observe others from the outside. Always thinking women who are with their children are rarely talented beyond the cookie stage.

Checkmate.
Not the same........families are suppose to help each other. One should never get special treatment, isn't this a progressive thinking point? The problem with the left they're embarrassed to tell their supporters they made it with the help of money. Nothing wrong with parents leaving money behind for their children, its what the children do with the money that makes them who they are. From what I have heard, President Trump has given thousands away to children with cancer and other things. While the children in Haiti have seen nothing from all the money donated to the Clinton Foundation.


Hillary for one can't decide if her dad was rich or poor, a good husband or father, until she sees which one best suits her poor me story.

You don't even want to go there. Oh wait, you did, so I'll follow through on comparing the biographies of Melania and Michelle Obama. Just like Donald Trump vs. Barack Obama, Melania and Michelle can't even BEGIN to compare in their accomplishments. Michelle is a Princeton and Harvard Law School graduate, former lawyer at a law firm and associate dean at a university, and Melania is a former model and college dropout.

She's a legal immigrant and trophy wife to Donald Trump, elegant and beautiful to be sure, but definitely not as accomplished. As for all the supposedly unflattering pictures of Mrs. Obama, that's a joke too. Mrs. Obama is a real human being who likes to dance and have fun, not a plastic Barbie doll whose only purpose is to be arm candy for her husband. But of course, women still suffer the old double standard of always being judged by how they look and nothing else, which does them a grave disservice. Education, job experience, and brains matter.

Thanks for addressing this......it was an off the wall response, goes with those who think she is a spy. The stories they think of making up just to share some Trump hate.

It's sad\funny to watch so many people grind political axes attacking the other parties first ladies....whom are by any unbiased observation are smart and successful with kids that are educated and thriving.

In short, they've all accomplished much much more than the vast majority of half-crazed political nutjobs posting here.

Michelle Obama and Melania Trump haven't done anything to earn such hate from either side.

It says more about the people posting than it does about the First Ladies.
It truly does.

Please. The amount of "hate" Melania receives doesn't even come close to the disgusting remarks about Michelle's appearance, the immature nicknames given to her and the ease in which they discredit all of her accomplishments.

I also didn't realize being a college dropout and a model were accomplishments.

I have nothing bad to say about Melania.

Here's a towel to wipe that egg off your face.
