Addressing the Republican National Convention Tuesday night, first lady Melania Trump made the case that President Trump is determined to work hard to improve the country in a second term.
In her 25-minute keynote outside the White House, she directly addressed two of the biggest political crises facing her husband as he campaigns for a second term — the coronavirus pandemic and protests against police brutality and racial injustice. She started her longest speech as first lady by expressing sympathy for people who lost loved ones to COVID-19 or are suffering from the virus, acknowledging that"many people are anxious." That stood in contrast to many other convention speakers, who sidestepped the pandemic or sought to put the crisis in the past tense.And she urged Americans to come together in difficult times, to reflect on racism and learn from it, without casting recent protests in overtly political terms.
In 2016, Melania Trump spoke for about 15 minutes at the Republican National Convention — a speech that was initially well received but was soon criticized because some lines wereThis time around, she spoke in front of about 100 guests, including White House officials and members of Trump's Cabinet in the Rose Garden,
I thought she did a great job!
Disgusting contract baby mama.
mb is the one doing the plagiarizing and it was the mainstream media that said otherwise. Do your research and you'll see that she did not.
except everything wrong she said she spoke well. dont criticize her for being slovenian, criticize her for being bad at facts.
a lot of people thought her outfit was inappropriate but i thought if you're married to a dicktator its not only stylish but a perfect choice
I really don't care do U?
a lot of people thought her outfit was inappropriate but i thought if your married to a dicktator its not only stylish but a perfect choice
And a lot of people thought her outfit was inappropriate but i thought if you're married to a dicktator that was a perfect choice
You know I ask myself why this hate has not stopped & after being off here for a while for my on sanity then come back to see all the haters bad mouth the First Lady & President you all are disgusting!
And?
She’s nothing but a high price hooker.
If two people like chocolate, did the second one plagiarize?
Shit gave me a headache. Difficult to understand her
Anyone else disturbed that her fashion choice looks military inspired or am i the only one
Why would anyone care about her speech. The only statement she needs to make is leave the White House and the con artist that is occupying it.
What a disgusting spin of a tweet. Shameless as always. Where are your editors?
Y'all are a bunch of assholes
Please
Not much as I have absolutely no respect for her.
I see so many people here deriding this woman for the way she dressed or talked, and judging her by her husband's actions. It's a shame that in 2020 people still judge others by such base metrics rather than their merit. Criticize her speech if you disagree, but leave it at that.
Longest and boring! No emotion 😐
So what, . Unfollowing. What’s your point?
Way longer than it needed to be.
She looks like she’s going to war? She really doesn’t care
If only we had a president who inspired calmness and ability to navigate crisis.
Why is she wearing a red army costume?
♡
The message was clear, dictators
Birther Be Best
Melania has had a platform for four years. Her most memorable statement was “I just don’t care”. She is not considered a voice of ether admin but was the only one admitting that COVID 19 exists and she get applauded because she did nkt plagiarize a speech?
BirtherMelania wants to keep the payments coming. I’m really not buying any of it, are you? Once again, her chosen attire speaks volumes.🤷🏻♀️
Every single line has been obliterated by the Trumpanostra. That's bad, but what is worse...is NO ONE who took an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States has done a single thing to stop them. NOT ONE.
NPR needs to mock and criticize for their liberal base. I get it.
And lied about 23 minutes
It's amazing that Trump let her talk about COVID-19 victims. Literally the only person at the RNC to even acknowledge the pandemic, which is shameful. Over 178,000 American's dead because of realDonaldTrump and no one else even mentions it!
I don't care, do you? 😬 I didn't bother making time to hear Melanie's speech anyway. I figured--at best!--it'd be a re-hashing of what Michelle Obama already said. After all, that IS Melania's go-to when she's trying to 'Be Best' 😄 RepublicanNationalistConvention
lots of MDS on display both by NPR and the commenters
When your words match your actions, those speeches are powerful. When they are a stark contradiction, she may as well be reading Hallmark greeting cards
Worst speech ever by a First Lady, full of lies.
hypocritical
I’m curious about this ‘eels nest’ that she kept mentioning
Spoke for 25 interminable minutes reading a teleprompter in broken English. Critics treat her favorably because she is White. Were she a Black woman, she would be relentlessly criticized & mocked for overt lies & fake empathy 4 the COVID-19 deaths her husband is reponsible for.
“Takes on”? 😂
Spoke?
Nothing but class. See the jealousy LOL...
Birther.
Are we supposedto be impressed that someone can speak for 25 minutes ? I’m so confused
I found her stiff and seemed to be reading every single word. No real warmth.
Did she apologize for being a BIRTHER NOPE!!!!!
And using all the English language she knows....
Dressed like a good little soldier wife.
May it be her last.
The birther?
Who cares! Damn!
She’s really embracing the nazi costuming...
Melania Trump, on her husband: 'Whether you like it or not, you always know what he's thinking.' No, Melania. No, we don't. He is phoney, secretive and manipulative and constantly lies. Putin no doubt knows him better than we, the American people, do.
Large parts of which were nearly incomprehensible due to her extremely heavy Slavic accent.
So if Trump can use WH and government employees on the job, Biden should also. He opened this up for all future presidents to do their campaigns using government facilities and government employees. Democrats will be able to do this in future campaigns Republicans don’t complain
Too bad she’s not the one running for president
Why is she wearing a Soviet military style uniform?
I don’t really care, she is a birther!
She is the the only one that referred to the virus as covid and not the china virus. She mentioned the people who have died. It was a beautiful speech and at the end she had to go and screw it up by saying Donald is always truthful. Does she think we are all brainless idiots?
Funny everything they say Biden would do is what they actually do Its a gaslighting convention
When the hyperventilating NPR guy refers to the First Lady as 'using federal property for political purposes,' I assume he'd have knelt in total awe & adoration, CNN style, as either of the Obamas did exactly the same thing and you know it. People used to actually trust NPR. 🙄
Why would you mention problems with her 2016 speech in your headline for her 2020 speech?
I would love to hear her sing 'I Beg You Pardon, I Never Promised you a Rose Garden'...
How is the length of her speech important. Is it because she had nothing to say in that time? Come on.
That is a very unfortunate fashion choice...
Omg 25 full minutes 🤣
Npr = fake news.
Terrible and embarrassing RNC! RNCConvention2020 rncFactCheck RNCTurnoff RNCSoWhite RNCLies CocaineConvention HatchActViolation
Shes a kook for ever marrying this lunatic!! I would feel sorry for her but she knew what she was doing! $$$$ talks!
Seriously press! You set the bar low for this birther, grifting, corrupt con family. She didn't write that speech. She read it. She's shown her true color of white on the Joy Behar show, and when she wore that disgusting coat to visit children. Immigration papers please FLOTUS
I don't see any Insignia on her uniform so what rank does he hold in the Soviet Army anyway?
. SHAMEonMSM normalizing LYINGMelania is NOT a Lady & We ALL Know it her Nude Porn'Modeling' photos are Everywhere She doesnt care about Children her husband has them caged & abused & shes a RACIST Birther like DONtheCON she helped spread Lie (Joy Behar interview) .
Melania's 'speech' was dull as shit, and had no message. She should've just copied Michelle Obama again.
NPR, praising fascists.
anything to stay away from donnie longer
Trash
She read very well from the teleprompter....same as Biden
Melania tried her best. She touched on a few good points, but her words are just that... words. She defends her husband’s immature bully behavior as he’s telling the truth, yet suggests no one else should be doing what he does. Leaders lead by example
it is so nice to have an actual woman as 1st lady... and one so stunning and beautiful at that... it is quite a step up from the train wreck that was Big Mike Obama
Was still a poor effort.
And not once did she explain what “Be best” means. I’m not convinced that she knows herself.
Is it just me or does her dress look like a military uniform?
That’s your review?
She still stinks
The same Michelle did but in another tone, order and point of view, but thanks the universe it wasn’t Plagiarized. Now that I think about it, it sounds like the condolence her husband gave that wasn’t the same words or order but sound it pretty much like Obamas, do you remember?
It dragged on and on and on and on....
Birther reads speech.
I really don't care, do you? MelaniaTrump RNCConvention2020
She's the worst.
We're all impressed that she read a speech written for her by someone else off a teleprompter without plagiarizing it. Goddamn the bar is low for these idiots.
Really? An amazing convention speech from our First Lady last night and all you can highlight is how long she spoke and how she was criticized for the last one?
That's a low bar. Spoke for 25 minutes. Critical thinking has seem to have escaped the media.🥱
Who buys Melania’s BS💩?
Send her back!
Interesting “Styling by PUTIN “
And someone else still wrote it. She can read a teleprompter. Woop de do.
Is your network seriously crying plagiarism while simultaneously supporting a presidential candidate who has been busted for it repeatedly? Journalism is dead
“Danger in the Hills”, a true tears of endearment of an incredible family survival story.
I know you are really trying to be diplomatic here, but criticized for PLAGIARISM means she PLAGIARIZED something. That's cheating/stealing. But yea, she spoke for 25 minutes without stealing someone else's speech. That's some low bar.
I don't really care. Do U?
I don't want to hear anything she has to say. Past etiquette leaves the first ladies alone, but this one married that loser so all bets are off. And what about his birther hangups. Thank God she'll be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
This is her campaigning at theWhite House, behind the presidential seal, in full violation of the Hatch Act.
Too many words. Too little truth. The word to truth ratio - a very important linguistic metric - was 23315 to 1. And btw does her prenup pay her more $ if she visits him in jail? TrumpCrimeFamily TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison MelaniaSPreNup
Wow, she butchered the English language for 25 whole minutes? What an accomplishment!
Can somebody fact check NPR here? This could be slander.
It felt like 25 hours
