Fox News broadcast an exclusive interview with soon-to-be first lady Melania Trump yesterday, but someone in their graphics department failed to get the memo about what Mrs. Trump’s title will be as of January 20.
During the interview, a chyron appeared on the screen which read, “Melania opens up about becoming second lady again.”
Actually, the title of second lady will be held by Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
The error set off a torrent of mockery on social media.
Karen Pence, the wife of former Vice President Mike Pence, made it clear at today’s state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter that she doesn’t want anything to do with Donald or Melania Trump.
In a video that is quickly going viral online, Mrs. Pence can be seen sitting next to her husband when the Trumps arrive for the funeral. But while Mr. Pence stands to shake hands with his former boss, his wife refuses to stand and looks away, clearly unwilling to even meet the eyes of the former president and first lady.
Here’s the video, which has already garnered over half a million views on Twitter:
You probably recall that Donald Trump suggested his supporters should have executed Mike Pence because he refused to participate in Trump’s efforts to illegally steal the 2020 election from President Joe Biden.
Many who saw the video on social media were delighted by Karen Pence’s snubbing of the Trumps.
It’s been called the “October surprise” that failed former president Donald Trump didn’t even see coming, mainly because it came from inside his orbit.
As part of promoting her upcoming memoir, former First Lady Melania Trump proudly declared that she’s pro-choice, a direct rebuke of her husband’s anti-abortion policies that could hurt him with just a little more than a month left until Election Day.
In an ad, Mrs. Trump states, “Individual freedom is a fundamental principal that I safeguard. There is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess at birth…What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”
Those comments led some to suggest on social media that Melania may also be on the verge of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, which would be devastating for Donald.
While some may argue that Melania’s remarks are a calculated move to “soften” her husband’s anti-choice image, they once again bring the issue to the forefront, which is something the Trump-Vance campaign was hoping to avoid, especially since voters are already going to the polls in some states.
Former first lady Melania Trump wants us all to know that while some have tried to mock her for doing nude modeling work when she was younger, she’s very proud of the fact that she took her clothes off for the world to see.
In a video she posted on social media, Melania suggested that her nude photo shoots were comparable to Michelangelo’s famous “David” sculpture and other works of art.
“Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work?” Melania asks. “The more pressing question is why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?”
“Throughout history, master artists have revered the human shape, evoking profound emotions and admiration,” she continued. “We should honor our bodies and embrace the timeless tradition of using art as a powerful means of self-expression.”
So Melania wants us to know that she had a right to expose her body “artfully,” but she also supports her husband’s policies to take away a woman’s right to control her reproductive decisions? Wow! That’s some powerful hypocrisy.
Fortunately, Mrs. Trump got the mockery and ridicule she so richly deserved for her bullshit posting.
Kerstin Emhoff is the ex-wife of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and she’s making it clear that she fully supports her ex-husband, unlike failed former president Donald Trump’s current wife, Melania Trump.
According to Newsweek, “Mrs. Emhoff retweeted a post with 2.6 million views on X (formerly Twitter) that reads: ‘Kamala’s husband’s ex-wife is supporting her more enthusiastically than Trump’s current wife is supporting him.’ Alongside the caption was a photo Emhoff had shared of herself at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.”
Mrs. Emhoff, a film producer, saw the post and added her own commentary: “Damn right.” She included a fist emoji to compliment her two-word reply.
That set off a chain reaction of positive responses.
