Melania Trump Decided To Endorse Ben Carson’s New Book – Big Mistake

Remember Ben Carson? Sure you do. He’s the guy who went from doing brain surgery on kids to being the worst Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in U.S. history. Carson’s only qualification for the post was that as a child he’d lived in government housing because his family was poor.

And now Dr. Carson is back, but not to save anyone’s life, which he’s really good at, but to plug a book he’s written entitled Why America Matters.

What’s the book about? Here’s a brief synopsis from Google Books, which was likely written by Carson’s publisher:

Why America Matters is a children’s book about the Judeo-Christian values of America and its founding, and the importance of the Four Pillars of the American Cornerstone Institute: Faith, Liberty, Community, Life.

Through rhymes and colorful illustrations, readers understand how our founding values continue with today’s patriotic Americans.

That certainly sounds like a very noble endeavor. The “pillars” of faith, liberty, community, and life have indeed been essential to this republic since we declared our independence from Great Britain back in 1776.

Is Ben Carson the best person to write such a book? That’s debatable, but he has as much right to pen a tome as anyone, and he is indeed a well-known man who has a accomplished a great deal in his life.

To help sell the book, former First Lady Melania Trump decided to write a glowing “review” on Twitter (along with a staged photo sitting next to Carson that looks like something both of them probably hated immensely.)

Also, Melania’s review of the book consists of two sentences she tweeted along with the photo:

If you look closely at those two sentences, you’ll notice that Melania didn’t even manage to get the book title correct. She has it as Why American Matters. Is her English really that bad even though she’s been living here for decades?

Also, be sure and catch the two hashtags Mel used: #FosteringTheFuture #BeBest.

Here’s one she needs to add: #IDontRead. That would cover her and the dunce she’s married to.

Want to know why America matters? Because when this country takes a turn towards fascism and autocracy, we vote the grifting douchebags out of office.

Yeah, that includes you, too, Melania.

The Auction Of Melania’s ‘Iconic’ White Hat Results In Totally Humiliating Her

Just like her husband, former First Lady Melania Trump really only cares about one thing: The Almighty Dollar.

Sure, Mel pretends to care about issues such as children and cyber bullying, yet she never criticized the Trump administration’s policy of ripping immigrant infants from their parents and placing them into modern-day concentration camps. And she never once criticized her husband’s constant bullying of others via Twitter that eventually led to him being banned from the social media platform.

Melania was dreaming of big bucks today as the online auction of what is known as her “iconic” white hat was being held, which was reported by USA Today:

The centerpiece of the auction, the custom white hat, which Trump has signed, was created for Trump by her personal stylist, Hervé Pierre, to match the $2,105 white crepe Michael Kors Collection suit Trump wore for the daytime ceremonies at the White House attended by Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron.

However, you can’t actually buy the hat. Instead, you bid on something called nonfungible tokens (NFTs.) What’s an NFT? It’s digital money of a sort:

An NFT is a piece of data verifying that you have ownership of a digital item, such as a piece of artwork. The items can also include a video clip, a tweet and more.  

NFTs are recorded using blockchain technology. A blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that tracks transactions of items and assets.  

The hat, along with the other two items, was going for an opening bid of $250,000, which was set by the seller.

But with just a few hours left for people to bid, The Washington Post notes, bidding fell far below the jackpot Melania had been hoping for:

When The Washington Post checked the hat auction exactly two days before its indeterminate ending time (advertised as Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time — 2:59 a.m. Wednesday in the East — although a countdown clock on the website ran 24 hours faster than that), the starting bid had dropped to $155,916, and continued to fluctuate around that level. At an earlier point in the 14-day auction, the bids had reached more than $275,000.

Oh, and one other snag the hat auction encountered: Bids could only be made in one specific form of cryptocurrency, the value of which has fallen greatly in recently:

The only cryptocurrency accepted on Trump’s website is Solana (SOL), which has been one of the hardest-hit, falling more than 40 percent over the previous week. The Solana blockchain (a distributed database that stores a secure and decentralized record of digital transactions) also had an outage on Friday and Saturday, further adding to its free fall. Had this auction taken place in December 2021, Trump would have been accepting bids in Solana during a surge in which its value had increased 11,150 percent since the beginning of the year.

Seems there’s one other thing Mel has in common with her husband: They’re both terrible businesspeople who can’t make a buck to save their lives.

Oh well, if things get bad enough, maybe Mrs. Trump can do some more nude photo shoots and see if anyone is desperate enough to pay more than 50 cents to catch a glimpse.

Strapped For Cash? Melania Is Suddenly Selling All Sorts Of Things

Something very strange is going on with former First Lady Melania Trump, and it’s setting off speculation that she’s trying to cash in on what little celebrity cache she still has left before her name fades into complete irrelevance.

A couple of weeks ago, Melania announced she was offering up a non-fungible token (NFT) piece of artwork featuring her eyes, as USA Today reported:

Former first lady Melania Trump announced on Thursday that she will begin selling NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, becoming the latest personality to embrace the hot digital collectible trend. 

“I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts, and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative,” she said in a Thursday statement shared on social media.  

Trump  confirmed in the statement that she is starting a platform that will “release NFTs in regular intervals.” 

An NFT is a piece of data verifying that you have ownership of a digital item, such as a piece of artwork. The items can also include a video clip, a tweet and more.  

And now we learn that the ex-president’s wife is auctioning off a white hat she wore when French President Emmanuel Macron visited the United States in 2018:

In a statement from her office, Trump said that, in addition to the hat, the auction lot will include a watercolor by Marc-Antoine Coulon — a French artist who drew her eyes for her NFT last month — as well as what the statement defines as “an exclusive digital artwork NFT with motion.” The NFT, the second Trump has sold in less than a month, features the drawing of the hat with some animation.

The centerpiece of the auction, the custom white hat, which Trump has signed, was created for Trump by her personal stylist, Hervé Pierre, to match the $2,105 white crepe Michael Kors Collection suit Trump wore for the daytime ceremonies at the White House attended by Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron.

Why the sudden rush to sell off memorabilia by Melania? Twitter users had some thoughts on the matter:

The most important question of all: How much is Melania hoping to raise with these auctions before she files for divorce?

WATCH: Melania Looks Absolutely Miserable As She Stands Next To Donnie At The World Series

On Saturday evening, failed, one-term former President Donald Trump made an appearance at Game Four of the 2021 World Series in Atlanta, but his wife, Melania, looked like she’d have just as soon been anywhere else.

At one point during the game, Donald and Melania joined the crowd in doing the controversial “tomahawk chop” cheer to rally the Atlanta Braves, who went on to win the game:

But another video of the Trumps shows a much different scene, as Melania appears to be smiling and then looks away as if she’s disgusted and wants to get the hell away from the con man standing next to her:

Does she look happy to you? Twitter had some thoughts:

Looks Like Ivanka Is Behind The Tell-All Book That Has Enraged Melania

HarperCollins Publishers recently released the book I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in the Trump White House, by Stephanie Grisham — who served as White House press secretary and chief-of-staff to Melania Trump — and some of the excerpts have caused incredible controversy:

At 1:25 p.m. on Jan. 6, soon after rioters had broken through barricades outside of the Capitol, MELANIA TRUMP received a text message from her then-chief of staff, STEPHANIE GRISHAM.

“Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?” Grisham asked the first lady.

A minute later, Melania replied with a one-word answer: “No.” At that moment, she was at the White House preparing for a photo shoot of a rug she had selected

In response, Melania’s office fired off a statement which read in part:

“The intent behind this book is obvious. It is an attempt (by Grisham) to redeem herself after a poor performance as press secretary, failed personal relationships, and unprofessional behavior in the White House.”

But could Grisham’s book have been written at the urging of Ivanka Trump?

That’s the word from Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was once Melania’s BFF and knows what the Trumps are like.

Wolkoff told CNN’s Anderson Cooper:

“(Grisham) wasn’t there to have Melania’s back. Stephanie was there as an Ivanka loyalist … Stephanie Grisham started out in the West Wing.”

Really? Yes, and that led Wolkoff to note:

“I have a hunch … this might be Ivanka’s next step for her bid for the White House. Having Stephanie Grisham do a little dirty work on Melania.

“I don’t put anything past them, really.”

Considering who spawned the Trump children, it would be crazy to put anything past any of them. They all appear to share their father’s lack of a moral compass and a deep-seated need to trample on others on their way to the top.

Grisham, Wolkoff continued, is just doing what the Trump are known for doing to everyone: Tossing them under the bus:

“So many people have been prosecuted by them because they have told the truth. If you are going to support the Trumps, that means you are going to say exactly what they want you to say, or else you’re no longer part of their team.

“I think too many people are listening to the words they say, but not the actions they’re taking. And their loyalty only runs one way, and it only runs their way.”

Ivanka likely does have dreams of being a senator or even president one day. But she never will be. She’s too fake, too plastic, and too much like her father to appeal to a majority of voters.

There have been lots of rumors over the years that Ivanka and Melania are not fond of each other. After all, the Donald lusts after Ivanka and cheats on Melania with porn stars and Playboy models while she’s giving birth to his son. That tends to create a bit of tension inside of a family.

Could Ivanka have been the one the encouraged Grisham to trash Melania in print? Of course she could. There is absolutely nothing that’s beneath or beyond a Trump. They’re trash masquerading as royalty.
