I find this ironic.

The only resident of the White House who is showing poise, dignity and courage is an ex stripper gold digger who barely speaks English.

I was very critical of Melania's character in the past, but I am changing my mind. She is the only member of the Trump family who actually condemned the neo-Nazi violence in Charlottesville. She has the cojones to confront the violent racists that our dearest leader so sorely lacks, and, unlike the rest of the members of the corrupt clan ruling America, she has earned my respect.

There was no condemnation of the nazi behavior. It was all about no violence. If she cared she would have called them out for who they are. Hate could be taken on our side, also. It's not the same.

Actually, as a Jew her statement made me furious.

What I got out of it was they have a right to freedom of speech so don't be violent against them.

I couldn't tell whether it was critical of the white supremacists or the protesters ... and if it was both, then she's no better than her husband in my view. What's there to talk about with Nazi's?
