Clips from the much-anticipated interview with Melania Trump by ABC News’ chief national affairs correspondent, Tom Llamas have been slowly leaking out, as a way to attract viewers. One of the clips that ABC released, features Melania talking about how she believes she is one of the most bullied people in the world.
Last night on the Hannity Show, Sean Hannity defended Melania and used several clips from leftist late night hosts, as well as the hate-filled comments made by the women of The View to prove Melania’s point. Melania’s communication director, Stephanie Grisholm retweeted the segment from last night’s show and thanked Hannity.

The First Lady, who has been brutally criticized by the media for over two years about the way she talks, the way she dresses, and the way she allows her husband to behave. When it comes to Melania’s kind-hearted acts of compassion for others, like her many visits to wounded soldiers at Walter Reid Hospital, or her visit to the hospital to check in on the shooting victims of the Marjory Douglas High School in Florida, or her visits to children in hospitals around the world, the media has largely chosen to ignore her.
There is no question Melania has unfairly been targeted by the Left, as part of their effort to destroy everyone and anyone with a connection to Donald Trump.
Here’s the proof.
1). NEWSWEEK – Oct. 23, 2017
Less than one year after President Trump won the 2016 election, Newsweek writer Tufayel Ahmed wrote a disgusting hit piece on Melania, titled: MELANIA TRUMP IS LONELY, RACIST AND OBSESSED WITH MICHELLE OBAMA
2). Fashion magazines have intentionally ignored Melania Trump, who is arguably the most beautiful and graceful first lady in the history of America.
No one knows how to bully and ostracize people better than the Left. The fashion media industry is no exception. Magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair, have gone out of their way to criticize the most stunning first lady to ever grace the halls of the White House, while intentionally keeping her off the covers of their liberal fashion rags.
During her tenure as the first lady, Melania has only graced one magazine cover — Vanity Fair Mexico — in February 2017.
“I reject Botox and injections. I believe they are harmful to the face and the nerves. Everything is mine,” she is quoted as saying on the cover, which shows her in a slinky white dress.
But the issue is not all flattering for the Trump family.
Another article in the online version is titled “The Misfortune of Being Barron Trump,” and shows the first family’s youngest son with his head bowed and eyes downcast in a somber mood.
During Barack Obama’s eight-year presidency, Michelle appeared on at least 30 US magazine covers, three of which were Vogue.
Melania also appeared twice on the covers of Essence magazine, Time magazine, More magazine and Glamour magazine. Other covers included Redbook, InStyle, and Radar.
Vanity Fair, which featured Michelle Obama on their cover multiple times, did a hit piece on Melania and her fashion choices almost immediately after President Donald Trump’s inauguration:
Melania Trump has been First Lady for two-and-a-half weeks, and the fashion world is closely monitoring the designers she’s chosen to wear. While it was a topic of great debate ahead of her husband’s swearing in, the public still has comparatively little to go on to gauge Trump’s official approach to First Lady fashion, given her choice to stay in New York while Barron Trump finishes his school year. One theme does seem to be emerging however, as The New York Times’s chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman points out today: Trump seems comfortable wearing international designers, despite her husband’s America-first rhetoric.
Trump did wear some American designers over the weekend, including a sweater by Derek Lam.However, the New York-based Lam has gone on the record to say he would not dress the First Lady, which likely means Trump bought it herself. (Vanity Fair has reached out to Derek Lam and Melania Trump’s staff for confirmation.)
Though in later years, Trump’s predecessor occasionally wore European designers, Michelle Obama made it a point to wear clothes designed by Americans early and often in her husband’s presidency, especially during the recession years. While Obama often patronized brands like J Crew—a sign of her everywoman approach to fashion—she also supported American talent like Brandon Maxwell and Cuban-American Narcisco Rodriguez.
That contrasts with Melania Trump’s first outings as a First Lady, especially given her husband’s brand of American exceptionalism. Of course, many American designers were eager to work directly with Obama. Trump’s husband’s seemingly never-ending ability to court controversy will make that kind of collaboration unlikely.
3). One eight months after President Trump’s inauguration, Liz Phipps Soeiro, a Cambridge, Massachusettes elementary school librarian rejected a package of Dr. Suess books sent by Melania Trump to their students, citing “racism” as a reason for refusing to accept the books. Soeiro’s accusations were a clear effort to make it appear as though Melania was promoting racism to the elementary students.
The White House chose one school in all 50 states to receive a package of 10 books authored by children’s literary author Dr. Seuss.
The initiative was meant to promote education and childhood literacy as part of National Read A Book Day.
Liz Phipps Soeiro criticized Seuss for being the only author represented in Trump’s donation, citing controversy over some of his illustrations.
“You may not be aware of this, but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children’s literature,” she told Trump.
“Another fact that many people are unaware of is that Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.”

4). Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski suggested that Melania was getting ready to walk away from her marriage to President Trump.
In June 2017, during a Morning Joe segment, Mika Brzezinski suggested that Melania was getting ready to leave the President: ‘I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer,’ Brzezinski said. ‘I know nothing. That’s just my instinct and I go with my gut and my gut’s always right.
Later in the day, the first lady’s office hit back – hard – issuing a statement for Mrs. Trump.
‘It is sad when people try to further their own agenda by commenting on me and my family, especially when they don’t know me’ – First Lady Melania Trump
