The small amount I could stomach was nauseating. They were on the "red carpet" and the correspondent was gushing like it was the Oscars.

They have been leaning to the right for some time and have "let go" some of their best journalists, but hey! They still have Jake Tapper who wrote the book on Biden's "mental decline". Pfft!

She does nothing, stands for nothing, is not smart, is a mail order bride, married the most vile, odious man in the history of the US Presidency, has tacky taste, fucked up the rose garden, has never spoken to the American people other than in canned vanilla non-sense. What is HER THING. All the first ladies had some "thing" they championed, even Republican first ladies did. Her? Nothing, she's the poster child of vapid. A documentary on her should last no longer than a commercial break during an actual film.

Pretty much all the things some people might find interesting about Melania and her life are the things she and her hubby would very much prefer people not to know, let alone talk about.

Me, I'm not even interested in those things.
