Melania Trump Thinks Greta Thunberg Had POTUS Attack Coming

Earlier this week, Donald Trump, who is very busy and important, took some time out of his schedule to attack a 16-year-old girl. Responding to the news that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg had been named Time magazine’s person of the year, the president, like the bridge troll he is, took to Twitter and ranted: “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”

While the notion of Trump going after someone on Twitter is nothing new—in the past he has slandered everyone from NFL players to the cast of Morning Joe to Bette Midler to Saturday Night Live—some people noted the irony of the attack given that Melania Trump recently went off the deep end after a legal scholar referenced Barron Trump in passing to make a point about the power of the presidency. Also, y’know, her alleged campaign against online bullying, the uniquely named “Be Best.” Does FLOTUS still care about the issue? Would she take to her account to admonish her husband? According to a statement from her press secretary, not exactly!

n other words, people who dare to merely speak Barron’s name should be “ashamed” of themselves, but because Thunberg has chosen to bring awareness re: climate change, she is fair game and cannot expect a minimum level of decorum from the president of the United States. Sorry, kid, those are the rules! Something to think about next time you wanna give a speech about an issue that will literally affect everyone on the planet.

and her tReasonous, rotten, lying, racist, illegitimate human sphincter of a husband went after and called Sasha and Malia's father illegitimate IE: Wanted to see his birth certificate. Neither ever apologized for that did they? NOPE. It's bad enough that her fascist husband is a big, fat bully.

Yeah, when someone goes after their/her son in a far worse way, I won't give two one shit.

Not ONE. What's good for the goose.

when I want a valid or useful opinion on something, the first person I would go to is Malaria Trump. Yup! I value what she has to say about everything. She is very informed.

She showed more grace and class than a 73 year old supposed billionaire who managed to land himself in the most powerful elected position in the world.

It is simply pathetic that he attacked her to begin with. She wasn't competing against him. She is just doing her thing. Trump, the supposed 400 pound Silverback came out pounding his chest and got sent packing by a an adolescent.

As others said, who cares what Melania thinks? She is showing herself to be just as pathetic as her husband.

When I read the headline that she had made a statement, I was hopeful that she would delicately call out her husband. But she basically defended his attacks on a teenager who has done nothing to him, on top of that, she used her son as a heat shield for her brazen cold heartedness. Her anti-bullying campaign is a farce and the typical fraud that family runs.

That entire family are the most uninteresting people on earth. Without the vacuous myth they are dull, crass, insipid and unworthy of consideration.

They are deluded inhabitants of sand castles and we are the blue wave that is going to wash them into oblivion.
