College Degree Vanishes From Melania Trump's Official Bio

The official bio of Melania Trump now suggests that she did not complete a college degree in Slovenia, as she previously claimed on her own website.

The future first lady's bio on President-elect Donald Trump's government website says that she "paused her studies to advance her modeling career in Milan and Paris." It does not say whether she resumed or completed the degree.

As recently as July, Melania Trump's personal site said she obtained a degree in design and architecture at an unspecified university in Slovenia, her country of birth.

It did not say when or where she completed the degree but said she was working as a model at the time and "jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan."

"Trump attended the Secondary School of Design and Photography in Ljubljana[13] and studied at the University of Ljubljana for one year before dropping out.[14][15][16]"

They are still being dishonest. "Paused" implies she took some time off but then resumed her studies, which is not what actually happened. I wonder how she feels about the fact that her husband is so ashamed of her history that he has to lie about it.
