Utterly bizarre claims given out of the blue.
What's up?

(130,701 posts)Why did she say those things? And how is it that she's lived in the US for some 30 years and still has such a thick accent? It looked like she was reading English words that she didn't know quite how to pronounce. But thanks, Malaria, for reminding the media about the Epstein files.

met or heard people people that have never quite lost their thick accent. They are usually older people though.

(114,070 posts)(much to my dismay) And even if she thought it unimportant prior, she has had from 2016 to now to consider softening it just a bit. When she tried to read to a group of children, it was beyond cringeworthy. Here, she at least practiced her speech/teleprompter, so it was far better.

The 1st "lady" of the US... needing to make a special announcement that she's not connected in any meaningful way to a convicted child molester.

Something is gonna come out, probably from her ex-model friend whose husband got ICE to deport her so he could win custody of his son during a divorce.
Mark my words!

(19 posts)It came out today that her polling is at an all time low for a First Lady and this looks like a kneejerk reaction to that (sounds familiar huh?)

She's going even further. The survivors should be heard. Other's were involved that have not been identified.
She's putting the story back on the front page.

(5,194 posts)Several weeks ago on tv there was a profile of Jacqueline Kennedys life. There were clips of her speaking Spanish and Italian in NY on the campaign trail and speaking French while visiting France. Only on the radio ads was she reading. Otherwise she was speaking and conversing. No cheating with a paper in front of her. I have no idea if she had a heavy accent but the responses were very positive and welcome. If Melania were that conversant shed be out there showing off her talents.
