By that, I'm not belittling the bullying she's faced. But I can to a certain extent expect her to have some perspective on that.



That's also how I feel, and I no longer indentify with "The Left". To me, to a certain point, there's an element of overblown self-pity aligned with her words here. I say that with all care, I know bad things are said about her (and anyone in the public spotlight) by too many people and I do not intent to give any of these bad things a pass. Still, "ape" or "tra..y" (what Michelle Obama was called with frequency) is just worse. No matter how Melania feels about that, it just is.

Of course that's your opinion.

She tried to start an initiative directed against cyberbullying and the Left told her to "shut up" you know nothing about it.

She tried to start an initiative with the Queen of Spain about save the children and the Left told her to "shut up" you have no right.

She tried to share a Thanksgiving message with the Troops and the Left told her to "shut up" because...

I could go on about the hate surrounding trip to Africa, visiting children along the border, ect... but why bother

Is that as bad as one/two dudes making ignorant racist comments? You tell me, with your perspective, because I'm not the judge.
