This post has garnered a number of comments stating that it is offensive and should be removed. I have read it over in light of these comments and truly don’t see what in the substance of the points I tried to make they find so objectionable. On consideration, however, I do think that including the revealing photo and link to other modeling photos was over-the top and unnecessary. I’ve substituted the photo Wiki uses. I also thing the “big guns” reference in my title was sophomoric so I’ve changed that too.
My major point is that his thinking that his wife will prompt women who doubt that he is, as he says, so respectful of women, to change their minds is unrealistic.

In what might seem as a desperate and tone deaf effort to repair his image with women voters, Trump brought Melania onstage in Wisconsin to address the audience.
That’s what Huffington Post concluded.

I beg to differ. The women who have jumped off the Trump Carnival Cruise ship because of his chauvanism are hardly those who would influenced by such an insulting effort to rehab his image. Who does this influence? It is the men who want to live fantasy lives about how they too can trade in their wives for newer “models" just like Trump has done and may do again.

I’m tired of Melania apologists who say how intelligent she is, and critics who think otherwise. I don’t doubt she is smart, maybe smarter than her husband. She certainly was smart enough when she saw a way out of her modest life in Sevnica when she was 16 by making the most of her physical assets. If she managed her own modeling career, she certainly made smart decisions along the way to becoming a top model.

I have no reason to doubt that her relationship with Donald was one of mutual attraction leading to love and what most would define as a happy marriage. Sure Donald was old enough to be her father, but then lots of women have a “daddy thing” and their marriages work out just fine.
.
Whether Donald will look for a new cookie when he thinks he can do better remains to be seen.

As an aside, how many people are looking for photos of Trump’s lovely wife? To find the photo I used here, all I had to do was type in “m" and “e" in a Google Image search, and the first name that came up was her’s.
