A beautiful, in many ways, First Lady. She is a role model for all ladies. The disrespect shown to her from this once great country is sickening. I pray God Blesses America and with The Trump's and JD Vance we get back on track.

Attacking someone's marriage partner is not legitimate journalism by any standards, just as attacking someone's birth family is off limits. Though it is true that the American "first lady" i.e. president's wife--has occupied a special place in the minds of most Americans....a lot of this pertaining to the decorating choices that are made in regards to the White House etc. This subject is petty and verges on the idiotic. My personal impression of Melania was she is elegant as well as intelligent. How can these be negative qualities? I find it sad that those with any influence could stoop to such a crass level of personal defamation. Have they no shame?

Sadly, elegance and intelligence are no longer respected qualities in a failing society based upon DEI and the false concept of "equity."

Yeah, Communism kind a sucks that way. Maybe now after six decades of elites making them “besties” to become wealthy by selling their junk to the middle class as they build their army with our money Boomers on the way out will finally figure out why we went to Vietnam.

Agree Kathleen. Melania's intelligent, elegant, dignified, and she seems to have rock-solid values. I too, detest the media that finds anything to criticize her about. It's true, the derision coming from MSM crosses the line into outright contempt. It's outrageous. MSM ought to be ashamed. MSM makes me sick.🤮 My grandmother came from Novo Mesto too, escaping to USA as WWII broke out. Though she was proud to become a naturalized citizen, she remained homesick for her beautiful hometown in Slovenia the rest of her life. Those were difficult times, as Slovenia was attacked by both Hitler and Stalin. The beautiful Slovenian women of Novo Mesto have a very unique look. 😍

Thank you for writing this piece about Melania and Marie Antoinette. Melania, our Former First Lady, has probably has been treated the worst of any of our First Ladies by the Media. It is one thing to go against a Presidential candidate. It's another thing to go after his wife. Melania has taken the slings and arrows to her heart with grace, and most likely forgiveness.

I believe that I read somewhere that for the entire four years that Melania was the First Lady at the White House, she was not asked to be on the cover of a women's or other magazine even one time. And she is a former model. Yet it seemed to me that Michelle Obama was (and still is) featured on women's and other magazine covers repeatedly. This makes media bias completely obvious.

I've made the same observations. I'd suggest envy plays a significant part in these editorial choices. And pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Well, we see men on the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions and men winning Miss America. What else would you expect?

Mikhail O is not fit for any magazine covers, women's or otherwise.

Thanks a lot. I ate only a couple of hours ago, and that graphic of the 3 Democrat first ladies has made me nauseous.

I find it interesting that the naturalized citizens of America show more respect and loyalty to their new country than the citizens who are born here.

Melania has done nothing but good since she came here, and she was an outstanding First Lady, working with underprivileged children and raising awareness about child trafficking. I have nothing but disdain and contempt for the American media, who are nothing more than liberal attack dogs who worship their fascist masters. The German slur “Schweinehund” comes to mind every time I see their hit pieces.

They fawn and slobber over the worst people like little Nazi sycophants, telling us that Joe Biden not only is mentally fit, “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap buildings in a single bound.” Then they present his replacement, the most disliked VP in history who earned her lofty status wearing knee pads, as the savior of democracy. What they don’t realize that they’re the “useful idiots” that will be the first ones loaded into the boxcar when their overlords get bored with their brown nosing.

Her grace style and elegance compared to Jill Biden or the horror of Kamala the air head Cackler is a

illustration of the lefty loon DemoRat media to attack their opposition.

You did not give sufficient notice to her superior intellect of being fluent in five languages.

Melania has exhibited more grace & decorum in a single afternoon than any of her detractors could ever hope to accrue in a lifetime.

A classy lady. Contrast that with the vileness of the former First Lady, Obama, who screams about privilege as she is exalted for some of the most inane commentary.

My brother got a hold of her masters thesis paper. He said it made it clear that she was an affirmative action admission. He rated it about Junior High level.

I read it and felt the same. Jr High level at best. Letters after people's names means diddly squat when you realize the low low bar for passing.

Why, no, that can’t be because Malania speaks Five languages because everyone says she can and therefore it’s the Truth. Notice there’s not one single video of her actually engaging in proficient conversations with Any natural foreign speaking person, but it’s a known fact so THERE!

I've also come across a lot of people where English is their only language and I don't think it is fair to say that they are fluent in it.

No videos of me doing a lot of things that I once could do or currently can do. Does that mean I can't do them. If you aren't on "reality tv" do you even exist?

That vile screaming Obama pretending to be female, lying to the American people🤮💩. No comparison to the true feminine elegance, intelligence, grace and class of real First Lady Melania Trump❤️🙏.

The New Yorker. I used to enjoy the literary essays and cartoons. During covid this became a total propaganda rag. They printed anything pro vaccine, anti scientific inquiry, pro government narrative, pro censorship that they could find. I've written them notes when they send their solicitations to re-subscribe. I hope someone on their brainwashed staff actually reads them.

This is a testament to the power of the pharmaceutical influence on the mass media. Sadly discredited now for their part in the "vaccine holocaust" now upon us. Who does not know someone seriously harmed by these "vaccinations".

Expand full comment

If I want to see someone seriously harmed by the jabs, I look in a mirror. Fortunately for me, a few months and over $10K later, I not only recovered but also took the steps necessary to get off all medications for chronic conditions. Life is so much better without Big Pharma being an unsafe and ineffective part of it.

That is totally wonderful Ominous....you took a bad choice and made it a good one!.

I hope you continue your quest for better health. It is never ending. I agree with you about the "medications" sold to us by our health industry. Really what they have done is a crime. Someone...I think it was 5timesAugust wrote a song...."No one is Safe....until we have GATES behind the bars."....

Big pharma conned the entire country with their horrifying murderous "vaccines"....They owe every vaccine injured person an explanation. I agree with Dr. Mike Yeadon....these b*stardos knew very well what the results would be. It was all planned ahead. I hope as a country we have learned something from this travesty.

As a side issue....one of the reasons I can never "believe" in pharma again is that twenty years ago I suffered terribly from rheumatic arthritis and had to rent a wheel chair as I contemplated what to do....luckily I used it to head on over to a huge local bookmart and I found a copy of THERE IS A CURE FOR ARTHRITIS"....BY airoli (or something like that}...

Anyway....I was desperate and so I subjected myself to his dietary cure. It worked. I still watch my diet...but no longer need to have the stern vigilance I once had. I also availed myself to help from a modified Gerson Therapy. Both approaches can improve your health. I hope the numerous vaccine injured now among us can use these dietary measures, herbal methods and others to "detoxify" from these faux "vaccines". They will need all the help they can find!

And Dr. McCullough has products that are natural and could detoxify as well....God Bless you !

Marie Antoinette was The Scapegoat, carrying the resentment of the poor for her excesses. I don't know if she committed treason in her dealings with Austria who were at odds with France. I think without the propaganda disseminated by the pamphleteers at the time, she would not have lost her head. She was so underestimated; she was smart, and Mirabeau said she was 'the only man at court' as a compliment for her decisiveness and clear thinking. She was born into Royalty, an innocent mistake but mob mentality has the consciousness of rabid dogs. Melania seems to have performed the most important job in the world with excellence, motherhood. The fact that scandal mongers are determined to shred her character is a reminder of just how nasty and cruel the public can be. I think the last French Queen would concur.

On your recommendation, I have just pre-ordered Melania's book. Thank you.

I have pre-ordered this book on Amazon and I’m very excited to read it. Fortunately, I do not read the New Yorker since 2015.

Hmm…other former New Yorker readers in this thread. I let my subscription lapse when the long time cartoon editor resigned.

Around 2014 or 2015 the magazine gained the “distinction” for me of publishing perhaps the most disturbing article I’d ever read. This piece took a morally “neutral” & uncritical perspective on the latest trend among fashionable New Yorkers of trans-ing their teens, and went on to suggest that the practice would start to be considered for preschoolers.

Highly disturbing, if prophetic.
