Kellyanne Conway: Media wants to "poke, dissect and wonder" about Melania

[Miles Archer]

Kellyanne Conway defends Melania Trump after Hollywood tabloid prints ‘nonsense’ story



“Melania has plenty of a public role. The woman is beautiful inside and out. She’s brilliant; she speaks five languages,” Conway said. “She is a loving and supportive wife and mother. And I have to say a great friend and great role model to many of us who work closely with the president and first family.”

Conway went on to explain that the media “can’t stand” the fact that Melania doesn’t want to be a super public figure and be completely open with the details of her personal life.

“They want to see, they want to poke, they want to dissect and wonder. I so admire the fact that Melania Trump, our first lady, is so comfortable in her own skin that she doesn’t have to disprove anybody’s negative stories or even positive stories,” Conway explained.

“She has nothing to prove to anyone,” she added. “As she represents this nation, she will do it with dignity and class and elegance and eloquence.”

4. Melania Trump is busy fighting against cyber-bullying

That was her intended pet project, no?

She has been a little slow in the rollout but the short-fingered vulgarian keeps taking his phone back.

13. Whatever Happened to Melania Trump's Anti-Cyberbullying Campaign?

Whatever Happened to Melania Trump's Anti-Cyberbullying Campaign?

No one in the anti-cyberbullying world has heard from her. Not even Monica Lewinsky.

On November 3, Melania Trump gave a rare speech on the campaign trail for her husband, Donald. At the end of the speech, she made an announcement: If her husband were elected, she would focus on combating cyberbullying from the White House. "We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other," she said. "We must find better ways to honor and support the basic goodness of our children, especially in social media. It will be one of the main focuses of my work if I'm privileged enough to become your first lady."

The announcement was met with derision by people who noted that her husband was perhaps the world's most prominent cyberbully. Lady Gaga tweeted at Melania directly:

Three months later, Melania Trump is indeed first lady. But what of her pledge to take up cyberbullying? Mother Jones contacted a wide range of organizations and individuals who work on cyberbullying, and not a single one of them reported being contacted by Trump or anyone in the Donald Trump administration.

"No one has reached out to us as of yet," says Sameer Hinduja, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center and a professor at Florida Atlantic University. "People are posting unsolicited editorials in our space, asking Melania to do this or do that in an open letter on various sites, but her and her team have not reached out to us or anyone we know. And it's a pretty small circle of experts, so you'd think we'd have heard by now."

[Solly Mack]

14. Exactly! Nothing. Zilch.

Just another lie.

[rufus dog]

35. She is prepping for her Press Conference where she will explain plagiarizing Michelle's speech.

Now she is six months and counting late on that effort so......

[tblue37]

40. That ambiguous modifying phrase--LOL!

. . . focus on combating cyberbullying from the White House."

Yes, a lot of cyber bulling is from the White House!

[Miles Archer]

42. Trump probably thinks "irony" is something you do to a wrinkled shirt

[greymattermom]

5. the media should just ask her a question

in one of those 3 languages she speaks that is not English or Slovenian.

[July]

28. Do we even know what languages she claims to speak?

And can we believe her, after her claims to hold a degree she never earned, and after her plagiarism of a Michelle Obama speech?

[blm]

6. Yes - she learned to say, "That will be $1000 for 3 hours" in 4 different languages.

.

[HipChick]

11. Yeap..and as 3rd Whatever...she's reached her Trump expiration date....

[vlyons]

7. well maybe not with elegance, unless

she plagiarizes someone eloquent, such as you-know-who

[gademocrat7]

8. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Melania is grifter with no sense of decorum.

[napi21]

9. HEY CONJOB! She's "the First Lady of the US! People WANT to know about everything about her.

Many First Ladies of the past have hated the publicity the position requires. Most recently Michelle Obama HATED being in the spotlight. Hated public speaking. But she did it for Barrack, and proved to be VERY GOOD at it. Malania's going to have to put up with it. If she's everything you say, all will work out fine. As long as YOU stay the hell out of it!

[Retrograde]

20. Kellyanne-ism of the week

Slightly edited.

“They want to see, they want to poke, they want to dissect and wonder. I so admire the fact that Melania Trump, our first lady, is so comfortable in her own skin that she doesn’t have to disprove anybody’s ... positive stories,” Conway explained

Why anyone would want to defend a positive story I don't know, but I don't speak Conway that well.

[EffieBlack]

44. And if they didn't, she whine that they were ignoring her ...

[Turbineguy]

10. If I was all those wonderful things

I would not want Conway as my press agent.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Well, I , for one, certainly don't.

I couldn't give a crap.

[rickford66]

15. We've already seen her "personal details"

What's she got left to keep private ? "our first lady, is so comfortable in her own skin" As long as it's a nude photo shoot.

[pandr32]

16. "She is..a great friend and great role model to many of us..."

"...who work closely with the president and first family."
What about the rest of us?
First Ladies may have non-elected roles, but they traditionally have played a public role not just as hostesses, but because of their relationship to the president have often been approached to advocate for certain notable causes. Over our history First ladies have come to have their own staff and typically have demanding schedules beyond being "...a loving and supportive wife and mother." We have come to expect to see First Ladies take up important community service roles with at least one of particular focus, which can be anything from advocating to remove the stigma of mental health (Rosalyn Carter) to better health (through food) and fitness of our nation's youth (Michelle Obama).
Of course they play important role models and everything they do and wear is of interest--they can be trendsetters.
If Melania wants to keep her life private, as Conway claims, she should probably have made it clear that she had no wish to step into the very public role of First Lady from the get-go, or told Donald that she had no desire to support him as he ran to become POTUS.
Perhaps she should start putting her ability to speak several languages to good use.
Meanwhile, she should move into the White House and stop passing on the extra expense of maintaining security for her and Barron at Trump Tower to the rest of us as we all get jack shit from her.

[Miles Archer]

18. $1 million per day. That's the price of her being a "role model."

And my guess is that when Barron finishes this year's classes, she'll stay right where she is.

[pandr32]

21. 100% agree

I think we are all supposed to be impressed with her so-called beauty and that is her contribution...a botox-injected frozen face wearing expensive clothes that enhance her large, surgically enhanced breasts. Hey--she's a 10 according to Donald. We should all foot the bill for his arm candy score AND be envious of him and/or jealous of her.
Meanwhile, we can remember how when Hillary Clinton was First Lady she led a task force on health care reform.

[mnmoderatedem]

36. "role model"

nothing says role model like a woman selling out her ideals and marrying into wealth.

as far as public speaking goes, Michelle Obama is apparently Melania's role model.

[Kali]

38. I don't think she sold out her ideals, I think marring wealth IS her ideal.

[pandr32]

39. I tend to agree

[delisen]

17. Comfortable in own skin is a phrase used by Republicans who said it of GW Bush

frequently.

Both Ari Fleisher and Karen Hughes said it of G W.

Jeb Bush said it of himself,

Republicans accused Gore, Kerry, and Clinton of Not being comfortable in his/her own skin.

Being comfortable with oneself may not be the best recommendation for positive achievement.

[Retrograde]

19. As long as we're paying for her

to sit around in her gilded tower and occasionally fly on AF1 for a photo op I think we're entitled to know what she's up to.

Although there is no formal definition of a president's wife's role, traditionally she (or her stand-in) has been responsible for supervising the White House and planning state dinners; in the last half-century the role has expanded to include advocating social actions that were important to her (Johnson's Highway Beautification, the Bushes' literacy programs, Obama's health and nutrition advocacy, Clinton's health care programs, even Reagan's anti-drug stance). Ms Trump doesn't seem to stand for anything, though. So her English isn't up to Michelle Obama standards - she can find an interpreter to help her if needed. She doesn't like being a public person? She can open a Twitter or Facebook account and advocate there.

Come to think of it, immigrants' rights would be a great topic for her!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Bullshit on the 5 languages. Like she spent time modeling somewhere and learned

the language. Doubt it seriously. She wasn't brilliant enough to know not to steal MO's speech.

[Generic Other]

23. That ship done sailed

Once we see her buck naked, she can't pretend she has something to hide from prying eyes. And "dignity and class and elegance and eloquence” are not the adjectives I would use to describe a gold-digging, plastic, amoral strumpet. Sorry. One can be all of those things and still hold one's head high, but not if one is a phony about it.

[LenaBaby61]

30. Once we see her buck naked, she can't pretend she has something to hide from prying eyes.

AGREE.

I've seen about as much of the Third Spouse naked as her pig of a husband--money-bag has. CONway can't now say that the Third Spouse wants prying eyes to not look at her. And imagine, the birthing hussy claims that she wants to stop cyber-bullying, and her husband aka money-bag is one of the, if not THE biggest, nastiest cyber-bully out there in the WORLD.

[Mr. Ected]

24. When I think of all the horrible things these people said about Michelle Obama

I would like to sew their lips shut.

They have no right. No right at all.

[LenaBaby61]

41. When I think of all the horrible things these people said about Michelle Obama.

[latinaliberal]

25. Melania

Brings nothing to the table. The only time she speaks up is when Fredo tells her to.
And to bring forth lawsuits. I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

[nolabear]

34. Points for the Kanye reference!

[WinkyDink]

26. They don't GET it. Melania isn't some celebrity who has a right to "vant to be alone." SHE IS THE

FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES.

[Wounded Bear]

27. One woman I could give a shit about praises another woman I could give a shit about...

On a channel I won't listen to.

[nikibatts]

29. I might be alone in this but I believe Malania is almost hostage to 45 and the Tower.

He does not really respect her and he behaves as though he thinks she might embarrass him. He seems to always be directing her under his breath between the fake smiling teeth. She forces smiles when camera are on and she is aware of public eyes scrutinizing her. When she lapses into moments of unawareness she looks very bored, if not sad. I don't think she wanted 45 to be President and she longs for her privacy. I also think she is an emotionally and verbally abused spouse. I volunteer with a counseling group to abused women and she exhibits a lot of the signs.

[Tikki]

31. deflect, deflect...I have heard and read really nothing about that wife...

Most talking is from him about him...or from you about you or his daughter.

Come on conway...speaking of role model...who could you possibly be a role model for?


Tikki

ps that wife could actually be a role model, if she would unpause her pause from University
and go back to a brick and mortar college and finish her degree.
I won't be holding my breath.

ppss I can ask "Where is the bathroom?" 4 languages.

[Freethinker65]

32. ?? hahaha Fox, the Blaze.com, and Conway begging the media for a Melania destraction

Nobody cares.

[ismnotwasm]

33. Ew---Melania is FRIENDS with KellyAnne?

I doubt this. No one could act like the Sewage one and be friends with anyone

[Miles Archer]

43. I think Kellyanne's "friendship" with Melania is part of her daily aggressive kiss-up regimen

Every word out of her mouth is designed to charm Trump into a juicy Cabinet position. I don't think she cares if Melania is happy or climbing the walls in Trump Tower.

I don't know anything about Barron. I don't want or need to know anything about Barron. But my guess is that he is the only source of love in her life. She probably knows she's Trump's trophy, and since she's not the biological mom of the other offspring, they probably view her as dad's trophy too.

My guess is that the amount of genuine "friends" Melania has is "0."

[MFM008]

37. i would like to never see her again

ever.

[dflprincess]

45. Remember the scene in "Arthur" when John Gielgud meets Liza Minnelli

and says "Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a women of your stature."

I have a fantasy that Queen Elizabeth will say that when she meets the Trumps on their state visit.

(and don't jump on me, I have been known to enjoy bowling a few games.)
