She tried to plagiarize Michelle Obama's "Be Better" campaign, but due to her lack of English skills she botched it. Oh, if only she had spent some time during her decades in this country to try to learn the language. Too bad she couldn't be bothered. So much for the right's cries that immigrants need to assimilate. I guess that only applies to brown people.

It is likely that the people Melania talks with the most are her parents and her son. Hence, the reason why her English skills are so awkward after 20 years.

To be fair, she does't speak much better Italian or French.

A guy who really does speak five languages analyzed whether she can speak either French or Italian.

John Aravosis analyzed two clips of her speaking to French and Italian children.

In both , she uses a couple stock, guidebook phrases, "Hello. My name is, ..." and then switches to English.

At the Italian hospital, even one of the few Italian phrases she uses is incorrect. In the background you can hear someone translating her English. Why didn't she just speak in Italian. She is fluent in it, no?

Though why someone didn't advise her to name her campaign "Be the Best," is beyond me. Even though she doesn't speak English all that well, certainly she has someone around her who does.

Michelle Obama speaks in complete sentences, uses proper tense and agreement, etc.

Did you all forget?
I'm old enough to remember poor teenage Chelsea Clinton not being "off limits" to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and his ignorant, classless ilk.

What success has Melania Trump (who I agree is a beautiful woman) achieved other than marrying a rich man?

Why? What's wrong with posing nude? Are we supposed to be ashamed of our bodies? Inquiring minds want to know.
