It's sad that needy lose out on charitable donations because the leftists let politics get in the way.

Perhaps they're also offended by what would appear to be her insincerity. She's been married to Trump for a dozen years. So if she had any genuine interest in any worthy cause, she's had ample time to get involved. I can understand that some charities wouldn't want to be pawns, used for Trump's PR. Of course, nothing prohibits her from making anonymous donations.

It's sad that some are so Trump deranged, they spend day & night looking for the most trivial things to turn into outrage because they have nothing else.



(of course what the OP says about the needy losing out is nothing but nonsense)

How do you figure? The needy may have donations, but they would have more help if they would accept Melania's offers.

Of course the REAL nonsense is the BS that "It's sad that needy lose out on charitable donations because the leftists let politics get in the way." It's sadder that some are so taken in by Trump's continual lies they believe that baseless crap.

Of course the hypocrites on the right had NO problem letting politics get in the way of investigating credible allegations of Kavanaugh lying under oath to Congress. NICE job hypocrites!

Funny how she refused to name any of the charities. I don't think they exist anywhere outside of her head.

It is lying Christine Ford that needs investigating. Yes, there are those in need who are losing out on the help Melania is offering because of the leftist hypocrites who refuse her help. What the left it is all about the glory, getting media attention and buying votes, not about truly helping the needy.

That's okay though. Her jacket told you all what she thinks of your opinion.

That was a nice article. It's great to read an article that isn't comprised of low-brow attacks. (it's a shame some [tds suffering] commenters can't seem to do the same)

She had been involved with a good number of charities before and after becoming FL. Some of those before 2016 -- "honorary chairwoman for the The Boys' Club of New York and the Martha Graham Dance Company. She is also affiliated with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Police Athletic League and the American Red Cross". Offhand, I don't remember the charities she's been involved with since then, but I've seen her name attached to various other charities. No doubt she could do more for charities in her current position than she previously could...if the left would just get over it.

Hang on. I thought liberals like myself are leeches and don't actually have money because we like free stuff? How can we donate to charity if we are poor and want free stuff?
