84. The working illegally is the part that matters to me.

Tue Dec 6, 2016, 05:34 PM

Dec 2016

I don't really care what she did to support herself. I'm not going to go after her kid, he looks terrified all the time anyway. As far as padding her resume, who knows if she came up with that on her own or not? I'm inclined to look past it (except to the extent that Hillary and Michelle, two highly-educated women, didn't get enough credit on that front).

However - the immigration issue and skirting the rules is a bigger deal to me, not least because of that fact that this seems to be rampant in the modeling industry and should be looked into.

I also really detest her ability to come up with a platform against bullying while she's married to one of the biggest bullies of all time, who's now inciting people to go out and be violent on his behalf.

So I don't feel the need to lay off her at any level - but my own issues with her are the illegal visa and supporting a bully.
