Kellyanne Conway: "This country is so lucky to have superior and excellent First Lady Melania."



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/kellyanne-conway-says-melania-trump-superior-michelle-obama/

Kellyanne Conway says that Melania Trump is a “superior” first lady compared to Michelle Obama.

TMZ caught up with the senior White House counselor on Monday and asked her about President Donald Trump’s wife. Conway was asked about reports that magazines have shunned Melania, while Michelle was featured on dozens of magazine covers.

“Melania Trump is such a superior and excellent First Lady,” Kellyanne told TMZ. “This country is so lucky to have her.”

Melania speaks 2 languages; her native language and English. Her knowledge of the languages such as French and Italian is about a month into high school. It has been pointed out that she was unable to speak French with the Macrons and that while in Italy she needed an interpreter to speak Italian with school children.

Seriously, "superior and excellent?" I'd think twice about using that kind of terminology in a positive review for a new luxury car I just bought; I sure as hell would never use those terms to describe another human being. This is really the sign of a deranged mind. I was going to add that she must be paid very well, but I'm guessing he doesn't give her much of anything. Why? She gets her ego fix by being on TV every day, she gets invites to the White House, and she thinks she's important. What a disgraceful excuse for a human being.

I understand there is a language barrier (she is obviously less fluent in English than other languages), but certainly she could take up some cause other than being a trophy First Lady (posing for photos in full makeup and dress while attending/hosting events). Until that time, there is really no reason for the media to give a damn about her. When she was asked to speak of her relationship with her husband before a national audience she obviously had nothing to say, so she just plagiarized what Michelle said about Barack. That got plenty of media coverage. Has she said/done anything really since?

at various events dressed weirdly and inappropriately and looking like she'd rather be somewhere else. Her gig is essentially being arm candy for her bloated, creepy old husband, whose funeral she was probably planning while she observed Barbara Bush's memorial (which might explain while she was smiling). But she's "superior" to her predecessor in the goopily mascaraed eyes of Kellyanne "Skeletor" Conway because - TA DA!!! She's - you know - white.

She "knows her place", and stays out of sight until she is needed, unlike all those other uppity women who proceeded her. None of this promoting literacy or healthy eating and exercise habits stuff to distract from her husband.

Campaign and early days of tRump’s Administration. They knew she HAD to endorse a cause of some kind or another, so ironically, Bullying was selected to be her “cause”. As she stood at the podium declaring her devotion to this important and worthy cause, I wondered if she caught the irony of Melania Trump being the person leading the fight to end bullying. With her husband having a well deserved reputation as Bully in Chief, it just struck me as very odd and inappropriate for her to be the spokeswoman for that cause. Maybe if she left that bastard due to his bullying, I might buy it. But standing by him, strolling across the lawn, holding his hand and saying nothing? Giving tacit approval to the things he says and does will not be compatible with an anti-bullying campaign.

And just in case anyone has not noticed, she has done little or nothing in a big way to kick off her campaign. So for being the outspoken leader on the topic, she has remained strangely quiet about it. Since she has the bully pulpit, based on her standing as First Lady, we’re waiting to see her step up to the microphone to speak out loudly and forcefully on the subject. [🦗🦗🦗chirp, chirp, chirp]

Melania: White, therefore "superior".

She's done NOTHING else except make appearances with Trump.

IIRC, she attempted ONE story reading and we never saw another.

The cyberbullying campaign is a sham when her own husband is the #1 troll on the Internet.

The only measure of her "superiority" is the one thing we see consistently: Her color.
