'OK birther': Melania Trump flops with tweet celebrating Juneteenth

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Mosby (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Published 3 mins ago on June 19, 2020


Melania Trump marked Juneenth with a short film posted on social media, but the reception didn’t go over as well as she probably hoped.

The first lady celebrated the anniversary of the end of slavery in the United States by reading from the children’s book, “All Different Now,” by author Angela Johnson and illustrator E.B. Lewis, which tells the story of the first Juneteenth.



However, her efforts weren’t widely appreciated.

Ok, birther. We believe your sincerity. We know you didn't really traffic in the racist birtherism conspiracy theories.

Birthers vehemently hate the 14th amendment, which was one of the reconstruction amendments passed after the confederate losers lost the civil war. This is why racists often are in open denial that nonwhites could possibly have been born in the USA or be US citizens. Birth certificates enrage certain people who desperately wish we had race-based citizenship. While Obama was facing birtherism, I was busy stealing jobs away from Americans. (I'm American)

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

especially when she's dealing with children online. Those narrowed eyes are an unmistakable signal for "oh shit, Mom's really angry" and every kid knows it.

I don't fault her accent, she came by that honestly. It's one reason she didn't want to be presidential arm candy, what is exotic on the cocktail circuit is awkward on the national stage, she had that much sense.

Once she's away from Big Dummy, she will likely change quite a bit, living with a malignant narcissist is walking on a knife edge, flattery and compliance are essential.

a human face prop.

Still...a known birther should be the last one picked.

I think she entered into marriage with her eyes wide open. I don't feel any sympathy for her. I also think because they both viewed the marriage as a mutually beneficial arrangement they will remain together unless Trump becomes completely unhinged. Oh, he is already unhinged but it can, and probably will, get worse.

that marriage to a rich toad seemed like a gift from heaven. She produced a kid, who fortunately turned out to be male, so her ticket to a soft life is punched. No, there will not be a divorce, but there might be a quiet separation if he goes completely around the bend and starts to take it out on the kid. All she has to do is outlive him.

I think she's trying to keep as low a profile as possible and trying to be non controversial. Unfortunately, First Ladies are always lightning rods for criticism, so whatever she does will be slammed.

who thought that would be a nice, warm, kid-friendly setup to tell a childrens' story? Why not tell the story with an actual bunch of kids in front of you? And show real emotion?

Or something like this:
