Melania Trump spox slams critical op-ed, says media focus on 'trivial and superficial'

Melania Trump’s spokeswoman said Saturday that “absurdity abounds in the media's coverage of our first lady,” offering the type of vehement public defense President Donald Trump has grown to expect of his most loyal aides.

"Reports focus on the trivial and superficial, rather than the deeper issues facing our country that she has tirelessly worked to address,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s director of communications, wrote in an op-ed published on CNN.com.

Grisham’s roughly 1,300-word entry was written as a rebuttal to an opinion piece published earlier Saturday on CNN.com by network contributor Kate Andersen Brower, titled: “Melania shows she's a Trump through and through.”

Honestly, Melania has given the media nothing else to focus on.

No one cares, Melania.

She seems to have done NOTHING. I rarely hear about any of her so called "initiatives".

Seriously?

Which clearly illustrates her "smarts" in being successful. Just like all her other modeling photos that caught the attention of the Donald.

What does this woman have to fall back on when the money dries up? And it will because the fantasy world Donald Trump lives in will come crashing down when all the investigations are concluded. She will not have a pot to piss in.

That was taken on Traitor Trump's private jet. She was a lot younger there though still squinty eyed.

She be best 1st nude lady sex worker that Traitor Trump has ever had. The gold digger is so glad she's not turning tricks in Slovenia.
