Earlier this week, reports came out saying that Melania Trump was quote bitter and chilly towards her husband, Donald Trump, and that in order to get away from him, she has been spending all of her time down at Mar-a-Lago at the spa. And to be honest, totally entitled to that there is nothing wrong at all. And this report didn't even say it was wrong. There was nothing wrong with Melania. Trump's spending the entire day at the spa. If I were married to Donald Trump, I would also do whatever it took to get away from him, especially because since they've been at Mar-a-Lago, he has been banned from social media. You know, he can't really do anything. He can't vent to anybody. So I'm sure she doesn't want to sit there in that residence at Mar-a-Lago with him all day, watching him scream and cry and Powell and whine about not being president anymore. So who could blame her? But this from CNN apparently off Melania Trump to the point where she had her office of Melania Trump issue a statement that said, quote, Mrs. Trump is no longer first lady. She is a private citizen, mother and wife sources in this article are not affiliated with her nor have insight into her thoughts or daily life. CNN's FLOTUS correspondent choosing to publish false gossip, illustrates the media, unhealthy obsession, medias, unhealthy obsession.

Now forgetting if me, if I'm wrong, but didn't millennia actually come to the United States to, to be in the media to be a model. I mean, that's in the media. Like you came here specifically to be in front of a camera, to have people talk at you. Uh, talk to you and, and, and look at you and talk about you. That is literally what you came to this country to do. That was your decision. It was your decision to marry a man that you know, wants to be in the news every single day life. You stood by him. You stayed with him. So you may not like it. You may not think it's fair, but guess what you served as first lady of the United States, the media is going to pay attention to you for the rest of your life. That's typically how it goes.

And as long as your husband stays in the news, your going to stay in the news with him, that's kind of how that works. If you want it to stop, the best thing you could do is ignore it because I didn't even know by the way that that initial CNN report existed till I saw this story about you responding to that story, honest to God, it's like dealing with my kids here. Sometimes the best thing to do, if somebody's being abused, [inaudible] ignore them. If they get the attention that they crave, eventually they are going to go away. In most instances, that is what we teach our children. That is literally what I teach my children. Sometimes the best thing to do is walk away and say nothing. Because if you engage, if you start this little feud, like she has started, you're going to escalate it and make it worse. And they're going to keep talking about you, which deep down I am. Pretty sure that's actually what Melania wants.
