How the Media Disrespects Our First Lady
< < Go Back
RUSH: … about Melania Trump. Melania Trump is probably — I don’t know — the first first lady in our modern lifetimes to be completely, totally ignored in every way. Whatever she’s working on is ignored or impugned and laughed at, mocked. I mean, Michelle Obama, she got cover stories in every fashion magazine in the world regardless what she was wearing and to what occasion. Melania Trump hasn’t had a single one. I’m not making a point other than bias. I’m not trying to extol the virtues of fashion magazines. I’m just talking about traditional first lady treatment.
It all matters in terms of the creation of image, respectability. The media is doing and has done everything it can to destroy worldwide respectability for this particular first family, of course, President Trump himself. But even his wife and his kids. But Melania, because she is from Europe and has an accent, there is an overall flavor to coverage of her that she is not very bright or that she doesn’t really care much, that she was an airhead trophy wife.
She’s not given any human respect at all. And I can tell you, I do not know her well, but I know her enough to know that she is nobody’s fool. And she is not a doormat. She is not a wallflower. And she is by no means a trophy anything. She is assertive and confident. She is opinionated. And she is going to protect everything hers like any other mother and wife would.
