Melania Trump to visit Detroit middle school to combat bullying

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/356665-melania-trump-to-visit-detroit-middle-school-in-first-move-of-anti?amp

Look who she married.

[niyad]

1. yes

[Irish_Dem]

2. She has zero awareness of anything beyond Prada stilettos. nt

[SHRED]

3. I don't about that

But on this issue the disconnect is stunning.

[Irish_Dem]

5. I know, it is mind boggling. Can she really be that clueless.

We know he has bullied her.

[HipChick]

4. He's currently bullying a Gold Star family

The optics on this is she should have stayed home..

[Hortensis]

6. It gets better. DeVos is going to be with her.

If she's blind, she's going to be stumbling over her morally deaf, dumb and blind companion. "teaching children the values of empathy and communication that are at the core of kindness, mindfulness, integrity, and leadership."

Well, the sixth-graders and their teachers will handle it, and then the teachers at least can go home settle in with a good drink.

BETSY DEVOS RESCINDS 72 DOCUMENTS THAT OUTLINED RIGHTS FOR DISABLED CHILDREN
“All of these are meant to be very useful … in helping schools and parents understand and fill in with concrete examples the way the law is meant to work when it’s being implemented in various situations,” said Jones."

In other words, they didn't convey rights, only assisted local districts in understanding how to apply and protect them. Had to go!

DeVos is completely shameless.

12. I can never get to Washington Post.

They ask for money to read the article. Either they want a subscription or to pay a dollar to read the article.

[greymattermom]

13. Try putting the article title into google

and sometimes you see the article for free.

[Doreen]

14. Thanks

[Achilleaze]

7. Willfully blind. It's a republican THANG

Meanwhile her draft-dodging, casino-hustler husband continues his public bullying of a grieving widow of a fallen US soldier. Disgusting.

8. Mannequins are not known for their vision

[Doreen]

9. My kids would be gone that day.

I would never allow them to be in an area without me there to explain what is "really" being said as I would not trust the teachers to give a proper explanation. I also would not want to be there and be around any of those monsters. The note will say family emergency but the beach or something fun would be the actual truth. I would never knowingly expose my children to hate.

[Beringia]

10. maybe she thinks she is getting what she wants

by marrying a rich man. And that covers any flaws he has. Choosing a topic to be involved with like bullying children is an easy one for a first lady.

[PearliePoo2]

11. 3rd Lady is a phony piece of shit, just like her husband.

Remember she was all 'Birther' on Obama too. She even demanded to see his college transcripts. Fuck her.

[lunasun]

15. IKR . The boldness of these BSers . Just because she was lying about her degree thinks Obama must

be a fraud too and that bigoted birther crap. She is from a bully klan what tips can her or her husband give? Watch out for young versions of us??

[3catwoman3]

16. I refer to her, in my mind, as 3W.

3rd Wife. Or, when I am feeling really pissed, 3rd Whore - she did sell herself for the money, IMO.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Bad headline. She's not visiting a Detroit middle school.

Bloomfield Hills is geographically close to Detroit, but other than that, there's no similarity.

Bloomfield Hills is home to many more people who will benefit from Trump's tax plan: They're more likely to be affected by the soon-to-be-gone Alternative Minimum Tax and the soon-to-be-gone Estate Tax.

[Leith]

18. You're Right

The article is flat-out lying. The headline and first paragraph both say "Detroit," and it says West Bloomfield in paragraph 4. Like you said, there is a difference - a hell of a difference.

According to Wikipedia:

According to a 2007 estimate, the median income for a household in the township was $98,832, and the median income for a family was $113,191.[9] Males had a median income of $74,557 versus $45,339 for females.

As for Detroit, from mlive:

Median household income in the city dropped to $25,193 in 2011, according to the new figures.

That number dropped each year since 2007, when it was $30,412.

The nationwide median household income was more than twice Detroit's, at $50,502.

Melania and her pal Betsy would rather eat a bug than visit a school in Detroit.

19. Besides this wasn't her idea

Like all the sacred women near a Trump, she was told to go out there like a dog. Kelly didn't help him, he's going to the 2nd tier.

[gratuitous]

20. Her eyesight is fine

She reads her bank statement cover-to-cover every month.
