The current Flotus can speak 5 languages fluently. You are right, there is no comparison.
You are aware that most people from her region of the world speak multiple languages, right? It doesn’t make then all geniuses.

Michelle Obama has a law degree. Quit pretending she’s not an educated woman. She was a Sociology major who graduated with honors from Princeton.

Do you know anything about lawyers? Most of them aren’t trial lawyers.

As far as I know, it's just a culturally accepted thing. She might get flack for not doing it (change is hard. I mean this benignly on my own part...it's ok with me in the end if she chooses none), so she can see if she wants to or not. Might be nice to have First Ladies choose what their role is like.

Me, either. Yuck.

I rather like Melania. I think she could work this FLOTUS gig into an advantageous social position that would make her pretty much Teflon in the event Trump hits the major skids.

"Buys into 'machismo?' And you know this how? But, I'd rather have a real man for President than the limp wristed effeminate that just left.
You're going to have to explain how Michelle, a Princeton and Harvard Law graduate with a successful career in her own right, is "ignorant," and how Melania, a college dropout who only had a career in modeling, is "incredibly smart."

And, nice thinly veiled homophobia.

I think she will try to make the mail order bride business socially acceptable.

.
You say the former first lady isn't smart....but you're aware that Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard Law School, right?

What has Melania Trump accomplished? We all know she did some nude modeling back in the day, which included naked photo shoots of her in bed with other naked women. Other than marry a rich man billionaire more than 20 years her elder, what has Melania done?

Any facts behind your statement about Melania being smarter than Michelle? I'll wait.

She's white and good looking. To that poster's mind, that equals intelligent and accomplished. That's really all there is to it, because if you listed their individual accomplishments side by side with no identifying pictures or labels, Michelle comes out head and shoulders above Melania.

One thing I will say about Melania, she has presented herself well on the world stage in the trips abroad. She has more class in her little finger than her husband has in his entire obese body. Granted, it's a low bar, but even so...

Yep, agree with everything but especially this bolded part.

I will give that to Melania. She does conduct herself with grace.

I imagine that she is probably disgusted by Donald, but his money helps suppress her gagging.

For what it's worth, outside the obvious fact that Melania is probably golddigger (unless she married Donald for his boyish good lucks and charm), I have nothing personal against her whatsoever. NO issues with the First Lady at all. She seems like a nice enough person, from what we can tell.
