First lady Melania Trump on immigration, family separation and 'the jacket' (NIGHTLINE)

The first lady told ABC News' Tom Llamas that she disagreed with the policy of separating families and told her husband. "I said to him that I feel that's unacceptable. And he felt the same."

[freaky]

I never knew how private her life was and I just realized I never heard her speak

[ericsagala]

I like her, I don’t think she likes politics. Poor melania.

[juliakhalil]

Im confused how come the First Lady is way better then The president

[ella.q]

I wonder how trump and Melania speak to each other. 😂

[diongswa]

Monolingual people are making fun of multilingual people. Amazing!!!

[hazelbeth]

Start treating Melania as a separate Individual. Melania is Melanie. Donald is Donald.

[lizr.g]

She never wanted any of this ... she truly does seem like a nice lady and good mother...

i can’t believe that he hates immigrants when his wife is an immigrant

edit: for those who couldn't tell I was joking I understand that he doesn't like ILLEGAL immigrants but IMO it's not okay to separate kids from their parents at all and I also think it would be better if there was some organization to help them get jobs and become citizens so no one is mad that they are stealing jobs and they can be able to pay their taxes so no one is mad at anyone. it is also not okay to smuggle drugs and they should get background checks for that before coming into the country. honestly, if he lets these immigrants in and help them come in legally without drug smuggling, separating parents from children, and having background checks and helping these people become citizens, have jobs, and pay taxes, america could have benefited from it. again just my opinion you don't have to agree with it. sorry for the huge misunderstanding 💜

I just watched a Michelle Obama interview and there is clear difference

[Megan-dico]

Sometimes I wonder if she feels trapped. Both as a First Lady and a wife.

[mayosalt]

She’s not happy you can see it in her face

[jennyferhatala]

I only found this interview because I wanted to finally hear her voice.

[dchakra]

People should really stop bashing her and comparing her to Michelle Obama. Michelle was a successful lawyer who was familiar with the political industry and Melania does not have that background or knowledge which should not be held against her. Melania was a model and she's now trying her best to make that transition. People should be supporting her effort to be a good first lady instead of constantly abusing and harassing her for being a former model. They constantly post her modelling photos with derogatory comments about her body, looks, and intelligence. Imagine making a career out of something you love doing and you work hard for it and then people use it bring you down just because its so different than from a first lady " is supposed to be like ".

This isn’t about Melania. Sadly this interview is about Trump.

[jswift]

she’s probably the most powerful person in the country and doesn’t even know it..

[buteful]

I just know she’s going to write a bestseller after this presidency is over and she divorces Trump.

[sapekuugames]

"I know I will get criticism but it will not stop me from doing what is right"

wow, best quote from a first lady.

[jenniekrystal]

I think Melania Trump is a smart and independent woman. She has her own takes and opinions on issues she felt were important. The media portrayed her horribly because she is married to Donald Trump. We only see one side of her through the media, and obviously different sources will say different things about her. Instead of getting blinded by the media and other people's opinions, we should view her objectively. She is a nice lady, we should at least respect her as a person.

[danalopez]

She beautiful and she looks like a really nice person, all this hate to her is coming because she married to Donald 👎

[AlmostHeaven]

I’m a very “left” person and honestly I genuinely like her and feel for her. She very clearly does not understand the things he understands and you can tell that her role in her world is genuinely just to do basic things, I find myself having a lot of empathy for her. Didn’t expect that at all.
