Being Melania - The First Lady Part 3: Melania Trump on immigration, 'the jacket'

[@damienroy5846]

You can't deny that she has a kind heart when it comes to children.

[@pepsiwarren2957]

She's a twatwaffle

[@oluwadamilolabalogun9441]

I feel like if Trump was not President peoples opinion of him would be different. Melania is very elegant and beautiful. There will not be anyone else like them once they leave office.

[@dejaavuu8272]

U know I feel Princess Diana would have felt for Melania and the tough role she has taken on. I really feel that if Diana were still alive they would have had private chats and Diana would have been a support to Melania.

[@nlahunter]

I think she is a wonderful person trying to make a difference. Hope she keeps using her voice.

[@louisepozdzik7527]

Melania is more than a REAL woman! She has integrity. She is authentic. She supports her husband and she supports her country, the US for America. She follows her intuition and it is so very obvious that Melania truly loves children. When I saw that jacket, I knew what the message was and to whom it was being directed!

[@DeeBus8]

She holds her own!

[@SonjaZA]

Was the intent of this series supposed to be a focus on Mrs Trump and the projects she's supporting or to use Mrs Trump as a smokescrean to bash President Trump? It would seem that more support for Mrs Trump's initiatives could bring more good than the constant negativity.

[@Gdaiva1]

The highest level of feminine grace! Even more so appealing when ABC is trying to put her down. What an inspiration! God bless her! Thank you ABC!

[@mialite7959]

She's a BITCH and FAKE!

[@dreamdust2633]

Actually, it's very likely it could be quite the opposite. Honestly, Melania and Barron Trump are very different from Donald, Eric, JR, and Ivanka. My read is she is a decent person, who wants to make a difference. She was the one who convinced him to back down.

Thanks for this interview ABC ~ TFLOTUS has shown to be a smart, beautiful, well-versed, intelligent, sensible, polite and savvy woman, in spite of you trying very hard to put her down and show something else. WOW, she is a real threat to you, isn't she? I like her now even more ~

[@SmallFaerie]

Well, you see what you want to see. It's called cognitive bias.

[@dharma6529]

Hmmm, I see...And I also see what you see that I see that you don't see as well. If your conclusion and diagnosis of me from what I said of a well-versed woman who speaks 5 (if not more) languages, just to name one of her personal accomplishments, is that I suffer from "Cognitive bias" then I AM GUILtY. Thanks for the eye-opener

[@carlarock9706]

She deals with far more than she should have to. The same people who relentlessly ridicule her for what she wears are the same people who advocate women's freedom of expression. Funny how that sort of thing doesn't apply to people they don't agree with.

[@gladiator7731]

Whatever haters say about that woman, Melania has real and simple values that count thousand times more than fake diplomacies of other first ladies. I respect a lot the fact that she admits that when she sees something wrong about her husband's actions, then she takes action and affect his opinion. That makes her more true! More human! Who other first ladies from the past did so? Most of them used to show that their husbands were unmistakable. They carried their "First lady" title more as a decorative title. Melania doesn't hide. She presents herself more as a human being with all the emotions and vaulnerabilities like most of us. She is the kind of person who has the guts to say that she did something wrong and changed her thought or action afterwards. From the other side, there are those countless hypocrites who know so easily to judge people by their first mistake! Like they didn't ever do a mistake.. When it comes for them, it is human to do a mistake and reconsider, but not for the others..! I have most of respect for that woman! Actually i believe that she is the best First Lady!!

[@haleyhassmann8153]

This is why the American people love her, she is classy and influential! In the past three years, I have learned so much from her about grace, poise and respect! Thank you, First Lady of The United States Melania Trump! 🇺🇸♥️👏🏼👏🏼

[@dianemiller3682]

Melania Trump is a strong person who definitely walks quietly but carries a large stick! She is smart, well informed, and doesn´t mince words or avoid questions. She doesn´t hide behind her beautiful face, and a fantastic body, or secret service, or her husband, the President of the United States of America! She is definitely a force to be reconded with! She is one in a million!!

[@mixeduh]

I'm really surprised that everyone in the comments are actually defending our First Lady. I mean this just shows @abcnews, that this may have not been handled with grace. Certainly, we all have questions, but the sensationalization of news toward the administration from your own correspondents who should not be biased by the way, have really failed in this interview.

[@Mytake584]

Very good interviews of Melania

[@CarlDillynson]

Honestly, I believe her reasoning behind wearing the jacket. Not a fan of her husband, but her explanation as to why she wore that jacket sounds plausible to me.

[@gooodies4u1]

The jacket was intentional. Its not even age appropriate or her style.

[@trentp1993]

She’s exactly right, all the media cared about back then was what melania was wearing and calling her narcissistic

[@nolom7069]

[@TheShoshie10]

Disgusting interview, the entire tone was combative. Compare it to the fawning tone of the interviews with Michelle Obama

[@stephenstrang590]

Not true, Tom Llamas is like that in all his interviews. I think this was a well done expose/interview. Of course its combative, thats what hollywood reporters are like in general.

[@shamisocchiwara]

Where you sympathetic to Michelle when they called her an ape and etc? Highly doubt that. I respect those that are EDUCATED and do something worthwhile with their life. She’s is not and has bony done anything of the sort. Funny how trumptards hate immigration but loves hers because she gets stuck up by Trump. The way of the cult is actually fascinating to watch.

[@IBM_Museum]

"Funny how trumptards hate immigration but loves hers..." Yet more ironic that Melania used visa fraud to come to the United States and worked without authorization - but they consider her the ideal immigrant because she is white...

[@shamisocchiwara]

In all this time all she has done in the WH is to host a fancy dinner... ONE lol Hilarious. And a few press conferences for the ironic 'be best' campaign. With such power and huge platform!

[@petzoid]

Too bad the President has to handle Melania about immigration policies and why they are what they are. She needs to be better informed. Or, maybe ABC did some editing to make it look like she doesn't support the policies of having to determine if the parent really is the parent and that takes separating the child from the parent. Also, separation is needed because the adult is committing a crime and goes to detention where the conditions are not set up to keep kids with alleged parents, which takes us back to having to determine if the adult and child are even related. Hopefully, she wakes up on this and sees she is being used to attack her husband on the #1 issue that got him elected.

[@IBM_Museum]

You did know that Melania used visa fraud to come to the United States, right? Failure to comply with the terms of a visa invalidates it. She's able to commit violations of our immigration laws, but lock up others (in for-profit prisons) for doing the same thing?

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

Love her! So refreshing to have a strong first lady that is outspoken yet possesses such mega CLASS. She never bashes anyone for anything.

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

now why do you say things that are not true. Don't you read the bible? Gossip is a sin hunn. She had to be vetted and so were her parents and so was Trumps mom. Now quit making things up. Melania Trump obtained US citizenship on a visa reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim", according to a report in the Washington Post. Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives. Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post. Becoming a citizen in 2006 gave her the right to sponsor her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs. Ephesians 4:29 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
