Melania Steps Out

While much of America seemed to be feeling some sympathy for former underwear model Melania Trump as she struggled to fit into her new role as First Lady of the United States, that compassion is now evaporating as Mrs. Trump seems to have suddenly gotten her footing on the political stage.  The woman who was once thought to likely be a "victim" of circumstances well beyond her control - even a "hostage" within the confines of the White House, desperately trying to survive within a sordid sea of prenuptial weeds and hungry young sharks eager to do her husband's evil bidding, is now coming into her own - and sadly, Melania is far from being an Eleanor Roosevelt.

Yesterday Melania stepped out onto the world stage to represent her husband in a matter of great import to the nation, much like Mrs. Roosevelt was often forced to do for FDR due in part to his serious physical handicap.  But the clueless (Or is she?) Missus Trump was in trouble even before she managed to climb aboard Air Force One.  She left the White House, on a very warm morning, wearing a (Zara) long jacket which one journalist described as a "sandwich board" because it contained a full-length printed message on the backside:  ""I really don't care.  Do U?"

Melania was on her way to Texas for a couple of photo ops with older detained youth (teens) - and her message was "I really don't care.  Do U?"  By the time her plane reached Texas she had shed the jacket, but she had it back on again later in the day when Air Force One dumped her back in D.C.

What is it that she really doesn't care about?  The immigrant kids that she flew two thousand miles on the taxpayers' dime to visit?  Or perhaps FLOTUS, a former immigrant herself, doesn't give a rat's ass about immigrants in general - after all, she already has her citizenship - and free public housing to boot!  Not only that, but after qualifying to stay in the United States due to holding a critical job - underwear model - she bagged a rich sugar daddy, got her papers, and chain-migrated several members of her family into the U.S. as well.

To hell with those brown animals infesting her country!

Melania really doesn't care.

Do you?

Some social media noisemakers suddenly began re-evaluating the only First Lady to ever be featured on the Internet in a g-string,  Perhaps she wasn't a prisoner of a ruthless dictator after all, but a coldly complicit and calculating collaborator.  Herr Trump himself coughed up a statement on the jacket affair saying that Melania was not trolling immigrant kids, but instead was trolling the press.

If that is so, Melania Trump, a recently minted United States citizen, might do well to read the Constitution that she swore to uphold.  A free and unfettered press is a necessary component of democracy - especially when the country is suffering under the control of an infantile tyrant.

America is a great land, one that has always cared.  If we lose that sense of compassion, we will be no better than the Trumps.

Shame on Melania for wearing that jacket, and shame on us if we are not outraged by it!
