Who cares about morals when you have money
Remember when she wore a jacket with the words “I really don’t care. Do U?” when visiting a migrant child detention facility in Texas?

Oh boy, here goes some whitewashing of Melania. Wait until she starts painting.
I know someone wanted by the HAGUE that loves painting!
Well . . . Jeez I hate to be the one to tell her this but
Oh Donald, they're playing your wedding song...
Melania is a self-admitted trophy wife (when asked if she would have married Donald if he wasn't rich, she responded that he would not have married her if she wasn't beautiful). Trump's base, especially the mysoginists, probably wouldn't care what she says anyway.
Trump's base in a few days: Melania? Isn't she an immigrant? She only married Trump to get citizenship! Deport her!
Absolutely this as soon as she starts to divorce him. And I think she will right after the election, whether he wins or not.
I honestly don’t understand anything about that woman. Like, it seems like she’d stare you right in the eye while eating your children, but then compliment you on your wonderful family and beautiful house on the way out.
Pick a lane!
Let's not look too deeply.
Someone's contacted her saying they'll give her a few million if she let's them write some bullshit memoirs.
No one has cared about the insignificant experiences of this vapid bimbo since she progressed from lamb to mutton, so the book needs some controversial opinions or it just won't sell.
I suspect that someone thinks this will make Trump seem more balanced on women's rights which is why they've leaked this prior to the book release.
That and a way to launder money into their campaign, easy to buy lots of copies of a worthless book
Any publicity is good publicity... Trump is very aware of that adage.
Pick a lane!
Why? I don’t think she ever wanted to be in the spotlight and having to pick a lane; she is pretty close for Donny hitting the bucket and her finally getting a slice of the grift pie.
I don’t think she ever wanted to be in the spotlight
Marrying trump seems like an odd choice then. Sure, he wasn't president at the time, but he was a big public figure.
Maybe she should endorse Kamala then.
If this happened it probably wouldn't affect much of anything, but it would definitely get a chuckle out of me.
Who gives a fuck what the former 3rd lady attempts to say?
I do when it totally goes against her own husband's campaign.
Nah the campaign has released this prior to the book release because they think it makes trump look more balanced on women's rights.
Remember, they're not trying to win your vote, but "low information" swing voters who will decide who to vote for based on whatever meme they happen to remember.
I agree... the fact that you have people arguing about it instead of talking about Trump wanting to literally shit on democracy is a good thing for him. He believes in all publicity being good.

Lol what a 3 page memoir? Born, pretty, modeling, meets rich old man, marries him and rich forever. What a life
You forgot something. She paid someone to ghostwrite a memoir for her.
You are missing her major in sociology from Princeton, her degree from Harvard law school, her time as the assistant to the mayor of Chicago and her role as associate dean of student services at the University of Chicago.
What?
He’s kidding, wikipedia says she has a few months towards an architecture degree
Well she did get a "genius visa" or whatever it's called, so she's obviously brilliant.
/s not needed hopefully.
Just to lay it all out, because I was thinking about this earlier... About how far we've fallen (even including Clinton's BJ, and JFK's dalliances) with regards to what we are collectively willing to accept as character traits in our leaders. These are people that are supposed to be role models for our kids. Literal, unrepentant racists. Literal, unrepentant rapists.
The former (and possibly future) First Lady is a mail order bride/sex worker that a rich, gross old man (the President, btw) basically bought for all intents and purposes, by providing the means for her to fraudulently come to, and stay in, the US... Why should we give a shit what she has to say (unless it's on a witness stand)?
No judgement for the sex work specifically (though the Republican hypocrisy is on full display as always). Her trashiness is independent of her past sex work.
Always best to add the /s, just in case.
As long as people don't think the part about the visa was sarcasm, because that's definitely real.
You see, Melania, unlike most women that haven't whored themselves out to a mushroom dicked mango with more money than brains, you can choose where you want to live at will, and even if that place doesn't let you do what you want, you could be on a private jet to anywhere else that would.
You ridiculous clown.
And I, Oil Executive, say it is an imperative climate change does not destroy nature.
I actually have more respect for her now than in 2016, and it’s not cause of this headline.
She honestly stayed out of things waaay more than I thought, still a shitty person but better than ivanka.
She also apparently asked for $250k to agree to a CNN interview. I wonder if she's trying to stab Donald in the back in exchange for a golden parachute.
