Fox News’ Howard Kurtz thinks the media is too mean to Melania Trump.
During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday evening, Kurtz admitted that all first ladies are political figures “by definition.”
“But Melania is subjected to a particularly brutal kind of treatment and mockery, whether it’s Jimmy Kimmel making fun of her accent, to all this media chatter about, well, why didn’t she go on this trip with her husband and did she swat his hand away?”
He added: “She’s got a thick skin, but no other modern first lady has been treated like this.”
During the Obama years, a Fox News medical analyst said former first lady Michelle Obama should “drop a few” pounds, Ann Coulter said her next hashtag should be “I’m married to an idiot,” and Matt Drudge said he ran a seven-minute mile by imagining she was “chasing me with a long needle and syringe.”

She’s free to get a divorce.

O no, that’s true - you treated Michelle Obama MUCH MUCH worse! You fuckers.
She didn’t get a very good start being a nude model with a marriage of convenience to a corrupt “businessman”. Start with that and tell me the last time we had anyone of this caliber in the WH. As far as I can tell all she does is prance around in her high heels and expensive clothes. And, in fairness, I think she gets a lot of trickle down disgust from her disgusting criminal husband.
