I watched ABC’s entire special with FLOTUS. It was addicting. I’m just fascinated by Melania. She’s mysterious, fashionable, composed and classy. She’s fiercely independent but not in an obnoxious third-wave feminist way.
I loved the way she answered tough questions. It’s pretty clear that her number one complaint is MSM always picking her apart. They suck, but she’s really good at giving them the world’s classiest middle finger.
One of the most interesting takeaways? As it turns out, part of the motivation behind her “Be Best” campaign is the bullying SHE has received. She knows what it’s like.
