What if Melania Trump’s speechwriter, had suggested something along these lines:
“I would like to quote the current first lady, Michelle Obama, who is such a role model in so many ways, and a person I admire so deeply: (… quote …)
If I am fortunate enough to be the next one, I would proudly walk in her shoes and try to fill them the best I can. Like her, I would support my husband and encourage him to build further on all the great work done by his predecessor, President Obama, who lifted our country up from near disaster caused by the previous administration and brought us back to a safer and greater nation. That’s a legacy that we should all be proud of …”
With those words instead, it is quite likely that Donald Trump could have won the presidency.
A scary thought indeed, – so scary that Melania’s speech writer may have thought of it, but steered clear to avoid such a disaster.
Or one wealthy, privileged woman could have quoted the other: “This is the first time in my life that I have been proud to be an American “.
What a disgusting statement by a woman given so much by virtue of her American birth.
I feel I have to accept your comment, while at the same time admitting I don’t understand what you mean!
Perhaps clarify your point?
Oops. Sorry I missed your question until just now.
I mean it is disgusting that a black woman, descendant of slaves, who earned a law degree from a prestigious university, and who married a man who became a US senator, and then became POTUS, was never before proud of America, the country that gave her the means to accomplish so much.
