Both CBS and CNN said this morning:
"Washington is gushing over Melania Trump, the new Jackie O !"
And is it just my imagination or did Chris Matthews (MSNBC) tint his hair to match Trump's "greenish yellow"?

(10,133 posts)Ms Trump may well be conventionally attractive (though she's no Michelle Obama), but she doesn't seem to show any interest in her surroundings, much less any warmth. Does she have any interests aside from posing? Yes, she's not a native English speaker, but living in New York City that shouldn't be that much of a bar to developing an interest in culture, arts, or charities.

(34,060 posts)I don't care one way or the another, but she would not even fall within top 50%, as far as I'm concerned. Way too much obvious cosmetic surgery and make-up, not to mention that there is no apparent inner spark that can make even ordinary women attractive - and the absence of which is a look-killer.
Simply put - she's just not there.

(10,173 posts)Why do they diss women like this - Jackie was more than just dress and style.

(10,173 posts)She had smarts.
Melania is a trophy wife who didn't count on being First Lady. I don't know her passions, her feelings on anything, her ideas or beliefs. There's no spark there.

(39,369 posts)Jackie understood this country and its place in the world at a very deep level. She shouldn't be reduced to her wardrobe. That's what dull people do, of course.

(34,661 posts)the Media was going to say something like this. After all,they could never get their collective heads around the fact that there was a Very Well Educated Female of African-American descent that probably had a I.Q. greater than the whole damn Press Corp.
More of their collective Racist Rants all though trying to be subtle.

(34,661 posts)learned by the pass Election Cycle. If anything I learned in this last cycle was this,many people of color kind of hung back. But if the Rethugs go after Ms.Obama,you will see a major upheaval similiar to the days of the Marches prior to the Voting Rights Act.
These next few weeks will tell us the out come of the 2018 Elections.

(32,822 posts)Take her clothes off for the world to see. Kennedy was born in the United States and never entered the country and worked illegally. She also never plagiarized a convention speech from the former First Lady.
It is precisely these things that make me sick. Melanoma is classless, vile and stupid.

(63,836 posts)They are no Kennedys how dare they. Sickening, they hate Democrats but classify her as Jackie O. I hope Caroline gets on them for that.
Since Caroline was summoned back from her ambassdor posting in Japan.
Watch for all the lies to come out now. I am so glad Bill Maher will be on tonight.

She worked as a journalist before her marriage and later in life was a book editor for one of the major publishers. How sexist and backward to diminish her and the things that she accomplished by comparing her to that jumped up call girl/porn model. CBS and CNN need to check themselves.

(15,220 posts)I was a child when President Kennedy was assassinated but even I can remember Jackie Kennedy's poise, grace and dignity during that time period and beyond. To compare Melania Trump to her is an insult to Mrs. Kennedy.
Jackie Kennedy earned the respect and love of the American people. Melania is no where near the woman that Jackie Kennedy was, nor will Melania ever become any where near that.

(63,221 posts)No comparison!
Melania is a notch above a plastic blow up doll. Jackie had intelligence, grace, style and charm. She was cultured and dignified. What an insult to compare her to Melania.
