First lady Melania Trump said the most difficult part of being in the White House is dealing with the “opportunists,” like journalists, comedians and book writers, who use “my name or my family’s name” to “advance themselves.”

“I would say the opportunists who are using my name or my family’s name to advance themselves, from comedians to journalist to performs, book writers,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, when asked about the challenges of being a first lady. “They like to focus on the gossip and I would like that they focus on the substance and what we do, not just about nonsense.”

    Amazing projectionist. Another thinly veiled confession, or maybe a cry for help from a lifetime Trump hostage.
    Gotta wonder what sort of humiliation, disrespect and deceptions she’s suffered at Trump’s hands, just so she could advance herself.

  3. “I would like that they focus on the substance and what we do.” Well, what they do is exactly what we talk and write about. It sounds like gossip to this ignoramus however, being another clueless, bubble-de-Trump.

    Remember, Trump’s a habitual Bunny-Hopper, he isn’t interested in their brains. I’m not calling her or any Bunny stupid, but that is definitely not a factor in Trump’s hunt.

  5. Very odd that the supposedly very private former stripper, pornstar and model would suddenly want to do a rigged interview on an right wing extremist, pro-Russia television channel on the very day Cohen was sentenced.

    I would not be surprised if the Preshitident Skanky-Manslut’s current fixer, bagger and procurer Lara Triump has promised his First Stripper and Pornstart with a six-figure dollar amount of Trump Foundation and conservative donor money before she agreed to this interview. Hannity probably gave the dumb stripper the questions in advance.

    I “don’t care” what this nest of traitors has to say “do you?”
