Melania's unhappy with "opportunists" (comedians, journalists) using her name "to advance themselves





Hannity: “What’s been the hardest thing that you have to deal with?”

First Lady Melania Trump: “I would say the opportunists who are using my name or my family name to advance themselves—from comedians, to journalists, to performers, book writers.”

You signed to be a trophy wife. You've got money, fashion, a child with a sick piece of sh!t. BTW, you probably come in on a visa you have violated.

Well, I'm here to tell you, that they are making money off your name is just got me all torn up inside. On the outside, I'm laughing my ass off at your issue with your last name. On the inside, I'm laughing my ass off too.

That's really funny, Botox Barbie, because the only reason ANYONE knows who you are is because you married some repulsive psychopath with a lot of name recognition.

Support from hostile foreign powers and individuals.

Sexual assaulters, rapists, and abusers.

Racists and bigots.

A long list of individuals and corporations that have been indicted or convicted.

The backs of hard working Americans who completed good work for Trump and were never paid.

The average American taxpayer who they have made clear they loathe.
