(14,559 posts)1. Hey guys, leave the woman alone. She didn't ask for this, she isn't prepared for this and she
doesn't deserve our disdain just because she's married to the man baby Trump. Same goes for Barron.
BUT feel free to have at the adult offspring--they've asked for it and deserve everything you've got to give 'em.

Just to remind folks here: http://www.teenvogue.com/story/melania-trump-supported-her-husbands-racist-birtherism-claims-on-tv
I do not have sympathy for her. I believe the narrative that we should feel sorry for her infantilizes her. She has agency and has the ability to make choices for herself. There are possible severe negative consequences, but she still is a full grown adult woman who can make decisions for herself.
