‘Do they think we’re stupid?’: Melania Trump backs abortion rights just before election

“It is pretty craven and pretty disgusting to see,” says Jessica Valenti on Melania Trump coming out in favor of abortion rights just weeks before the election—as her husband is trailing in the polls with women. Valenti is the author of “Abortion: Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win.”

Melania can say, “Leave the money on the dresser” in 6 different languages.

Melanie didn’t want to speak because she wasn’t able to get her hands on a recent Michelle Obama speech.

[fnievez]

She could have done this right after Roe v Wade was overturned. 🤷‍♂️

[niclewis]

"I really don't care, do you?" So sick of transactional Trumps.

[NicoleAZ]

I hope this backfires bigly and the evangelicals decide to not vote at all. It would serve Trump right, pulling a desperate stunt like this.

It doesn't matter what the feIon's wife says. Abortion is a private healthcare issue.

[joerogain]

I find it more than coincidence that Donald tRUMP happens to be flying around in deceased, Jeffrey Epstein's aeroplane.

[joerogain]

Melania got into America on a ''Genius Exemption.'' What are her talents that make her, Genius?

[lee]

She is starting to have the lion look...has to be careful with the surgeries

[gratefuljr]

Everyone please donate to Trump’s charity to help hurricane victims. Only 99% of the donations go into his pockets.

[glennsmith]

How much did trump's campaign pay her for the public statements?

[joerogain]

Melania is fluent in languages, 5 different languages. She can say : ''Leave the money on the dresser'' 5 different ways.

[joerogain]

25 years in America and she still speaks broken English in a thick accent.

[mdwoolsey]

The only thing I want to here from this 'working woman' is, bye, im leaving, Vlad gave me a better offer.

[DonnaCallahan-sh]

I don't trust any word she says. What does she want? I don't trust her at all. She is just like her husband, a liar

[joerogain]

''I've known Jeffrey Epstein 15 years. Terrific guy.''

Donald tRUMP

[DavidNGoodman]

I think that video is a Stephen Colbert skit every time I see it.

[Melania.Melanoma-cx]

Melania may have 2 or 3 languages in her experience; it is unfortunate that her command of English, is barely above Donnie's 200 words.

They don't THINK you're Stupid; they're absolutely certain you

[judysoderlund]

Melania doesn’t even seem like a real person so I don’t think she has any real convictions about anything. I feel sick whenever Trump says how much we love her because that couldn’t be further from the truth. Vote 🗳️ blue! 🇺🇸💙🌊🇺🇸💙🌊🇺🇸
