LMAO
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."
Questions began to surface earlier this year about whether this resume was entirely accurate.
Blaz Matija Vogelnik, a professor who said he briefly taught her at Slovenia's University of Ljubljana, told NBC News in August that she did not complete his course.
"She hasn't finished university, at least not in Ljubljana," he said. "My personal opinion is that, because she was very beautiful girl ... I believe that she realized that she could gain more with that, than to have long studies."
Vogelnik noted that his former student had passed a rigorous test to gain entry to the college, and based on that he believed "her IQ was very high."
Had she completed the course, Melania Trump's research would ordinarily be in the university's library, but it could not been found there when NBC News visited the college this summer.

(4,835 posts)It was a news blip around the time she plagiarized Michele's speech. A big deal was not made of it at that time. It probably goes into the plus column for a lot of conservative voters. She was smart enough to go to college, but she didn't want to put up with the bullshit, much like many of them.

If it means so much to her, do it. It would be a grand example for women.

(18,124 posts)while First Lady Michelle Obama is racistly disparaged by a mayor of a small town in trumpfuhrerland and one of her friends and in MANY other ways for 8 years by many other trumpfuhrer followers. I don't give a fuck if they lost their jobs, it is who and what they represent as the New Order in this country. I guess the upcoming first lady is a liar like her husband.
