Showing Original Post only (View all)Melania's terrible English [View all]
First, let me say that I really don't care how most Americans who have immigrated sound...Hell, I don't care if they don't even speak English.....But with Melania it's different because of Trump's America First, anti-immigrant stance, and most of his supporters would make fun of someone who sounded like her.....On top of the that, she was portrayed as someone who was "fluent" in 5 languages. There is no way she is fluent in English, and it isn't the accent...it's the mispronunciations and the butchering of words....Again, normally I wouldn't care about an immigrant's broken English, but is the her portrayal and Trump's assholery towards immigrants.

Yes, she pushed the birther crap that so many people still believe to be true.

Rep. Omar certainly speaks so much better than Melania. Wonder what the Trumpians
