Melania Trumps professional biography says the wife of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump began modeling at age 16, but she only began working full-time after obtaining a degree. She graduated in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, according to the bio as of Monday night

Its a good story, but it doesnt appear to be true.
Melania Trump never earned a university degree in architecture ― she dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers. Still, she claims to have a degree from university in Slovenia.
Questions about her education grew more significant Tuesday morning, following the revelation that Melania Trump plagiarized parts of her speech to the Republican National Convention from one that First Lady Michelle Obama gave in 2008.
Monday raised the question of whether there was anything else Melania Trump hadnt been entirely truthful about.
Slovenian journalists Bojan Pozar and Igor Omerza wrote in their biography on the former fashion model that she became ― and remained ― a college dropout after leaving the University of Ljubljanas architecture school following her freshman year.

(58,785 posts)college (like nobody ever does that!), she never realized she'd be under this type of scrutiny. She didn't even have to worry about being scrutinized by some HR department.
Btw, her father is reportedly "jocular" and "self assured," sort of like Trump. Maybe when she and 24-year-older Trump first met she actually found him rather appealing. These are her parents. Daddy!

Well, I guess she can read a full sentence off of a teleprompter better than the Wicked Witch of the North, but still...

(32 posts)Nothing about the Trumps seems honest or genuine. And yet, Donald still has a good chance of becoming president. Says a lot about this country.
