Melania Trump is a plagiarizer, which Republicans suddenly don’t think is a terrible thing anymore. But aside from pretending to have lived Michele Obama’s childhood, there were other clues proving that yes, Melania shares the same … let’s call them “values” … as her husband.
First there was the pretense that she had written the speech herself. Asked if she was nervous about delivering it, she said:
I read it once over, and that's all because I wrote it with as little help as possible.
Now anyone that has ever delivered a major speech knows that writing it yourself doesn’t negate having to review it again, and again, and again. Look at the speeches on the podium of many orators and you’ll see printed paper scribbled with edits and cross outs. So right off the bat we knew she was full of shit, because the entire Trump clan is full of shit, but little did we know that Trump’s very own campaign would call her a liar less than 24 hours later:
[[Manafort] told ABC News’ “Good Morning America”:] "In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking.”
So from “I wrote it” to “Melania’s team of writers.” Given that the GOP spent all last night calling Hillary Clinton a liar (along with murderer, etc), you think they’d want to try to stay on the right side of honesty. But they are Republicans and Trumps, so oh well. And that’s not all!
After reliving Michele Obama’s childhood, Melania tried to “humanize” her husband:
He is tough when he has to be but he is also kind and fair and caring. This kindness is not always noted, but it is there for all to see.

Yet … no one can see it. No has stepped forward with evidence of this kind and caring Don. He used his private charity as a slush fund to buy himself shit, and the charity certainly can’t prove any actual charity. He’s marketed various business ventures by claiming he’d donate proceeds to charity, then didn’t. He had to be shamed into donating to veteran’s organizations after he promised to do so, then didn’t follow through. He won’t release his tax returns, and we’re all pretty sure they’d show zero donations to any real charity (beyond his own personal slush fund one).
It is quite remarkable for someone to live as many years as Trump has, and have so few people willing to step forward to defend his kindness. That’s because it simply doesn’t exist.
Now Trump was probably “kind” to Melania. Bought her diamonds and jetted her to exotic places. She was hot and he was married, but showing some of that “loyal” thing by being ready to move on. But that’s not really kindness. That was his penis talking. We know what Trump thinks about women he doesn’t deem attractive. And it really is telling that while Melania claims her husband is kind and caring and that it’s there for everyone to see, she couldn’t scare up a single anecdote to make the point. Not one.
That is one reason I fell in love with him to begin with.
Ha ha, sure. There are other reasons she “fell in love.” Bigger reasons, obviously.
Donald is intensely loyal. To family, friends, employees, country.
She doesn’t even believe this. She is wife No. 3 for chrissakes. She is not allowed to believe that Trump is loyal to anyone who is not himself. Certainly not his wives. He certainly isn’t loyal in business, using his bankruptcies to get out of commitments to his creditors, contractors, and people who trusted him with their money. He’s never given a shit, because there isn’t a loyal bone in his body.
If you need further proof, just listen to Trump himself:
This was a response to Hillary Clinton’s claim that Trump bled Atlantic City dry before he screwed untold many people over. And he confirmed it! HE made money! HE had great timing! Who cares about the trail of lost jobs, unpaid contractors, and screwed investors he left behind? HE got his! And just in case anyone was left wondering, his spokesman further confirmed it!
Trump is not someone who pretends to give a shit about anyone else. It’s not in his personality. It’s so ingrained, in fact, that he doesn’t even bother to hide it: He brags about it.
And Melania knows all this, lying in bed with that asshole every night hearing him boast about all the people he screwed over. And rather than recoil at that horror, she has embraced it.
Moving on ...
He has the utmost respect for his parents, Mary and Fred ...
He loves his parents (and his siblings)! We’re supposed to be impressed at that most basic tenet of humanity. But hey, he has cleared that lowest of hurdles.
His children have been cared for and mentored to the extent that even his adversaries admit they are an amazing testament to who he is as a man and a father.
Show me these critics that laud his asshole children as “amazing testaments” to how great Trump is. I mean, who talks about their children as being “cared for and mentored”? What the fuck kind of language is that? My kids are loved and nurtured. They’re not “cared for” and “mentored.” How clinical can these people be? Maybe that’s why they’ve grown up to be assholes like this?
But having read the speech she wrote but didn’t write, I’m struck by the absence of one word: “honest.” There’s nothing referring to her husband as an honest person, or any word with the same meaning. She doesn’t pretend he’s not a liar, an exaggerator, a braggart, a philanderer, a cheater. She doesn’t pretend that he’s open and transparent and wiling to open up his finances so voters can get an actual read on who he is as a person.
That omission was the most honest part of Melania’s speech.
