Melanie finally making a statement - what a load of BS.

[kjamison]

So, she started as if she was condemning the riots at the Capitol but immediately made it about herself in the second sentence. She’s a trump all right.

[g.moeller]

Self-pity: A trait she shares with her husband.

"I Really Don't Care, Do U?" - Melania No, I don't care so stop your complaining!

“Poor me. Me, me, me, me, me, me,

Womp-Womp.

I don’t know what’s surprising here, the accusations or Melania pretending she knows the word “salacious”...

[devonjaphet]

Thank God were gonna have a real first lady again soon

[Mugiwarak]

Holy crap, she's literally like that person that starts a rumor about themselves just to get attention. And NOW of all times. Good Lord, she and her husband deserve each other.

Melania : Dooonald why are we not packing yet. I have to be on Tinder hunting for young guys.

[Arigna]

She is the First Lady, really I hardly notice.

[laurencaulton]

The word is seditious, not salacious. She must be confused.

[steadyeddie]

Now they're all trying to save they're own skin. Its every rat for themselves.

"I really don't care, do u?"

"But but... *_I'm_* the most bullied person in the world! Me, _Me_, *_Melania_* "

[DaveAtLittleton]

I stopped watching this when I realised I don't care what MT has to say unless it's an apology

[birderjohn]

Well, the most important thing in all that’s happened is the First Lady.

[michellecalling]

Did she actually write her statement or did she plagiarize it?

[natasharandolph]

Seriously, she barely speaks English. Did she really say all that so eloquently?
