Social media has a mind of its own. This week Melania Trump is once again front and center on Twitter/X because Hubby struck a chord when he bragged about his genius, linguist wife, she who speaks “five foreign languages.” What is plain to any observer is that Melania speaks her own native tongue, as do we all, and bad English. She clearly never reads or simple words wouldn’t throw her for the loop that they do. But one party that is curious about where the billion dollar lawsuit against Hunter Biden is, is none other than Hunter Biden. He knows full well that Melania won’t sue him for anything and he explains why.
🚨HOLY COW: Hunter Biden had two words for Melania Trump's threat to sue him for repeating that she met Trump through Jeffrey Epstein.
"PLEASE DO.”
His reason for wanting to be sued is perfect. pic.twitter.com/BOZxTMb7pN

It would be delightful indeed to hear all the details of how Donald and Melania met and if, in fact, it could be proven that the first time that they had conjugal relations it was on board Jeffrey Epstein’s plane. Not that any of that matters. I think that most people are intrigued with this holier than thou stance on Melania’s part.
She’s not fooling anybody, not about her *innocence* in not knowing Epstein or knowing what Epstein knew about. She knew plenty. She’s the perfect mate for Donald Trump. They’re both phonier than a three-dollar bill and obsessed with the appearances of wealth, power, and perfection. The wealth part is shoddy, and derived by exploitation of others, the power part is legitimate since Trump did manage to get back in office, but he trips on his own shoelaces on a regular basis. Ergo, the term TACO, to describe the fact that the Big Man always has some Big Idea — until he walks it back because he can’t in fact make his fantasies manifest.
As to the perfection, in Melania’s case the Einstein visa part isn’t washing and nobody believes she’s fluent in French, Italian, German, English (is this one of her “foreign languages” or what? That’s ambiguous) and for all we know she doesn’t speak Slovenian all that well.
I have a friend from the old Yugoslavia, who’s also been in this country around thirty years and she speaks perfect English, with a slight (and charming) accent. That’s because, I suspect, she lives in the real world and not a bubble.
The only way people learn fluency in a language is by immersing themselves in it and speaking it all the time. It’s like any other skill in life. Just seeing how Melania has zero interest in English makes me utterly disbelieve that she’s fluent in these other tongues — that and the tell-tale sign that she uses translators when abroad. Why bother in France, Italy or Germany, if you’re “fluent?” The Pope asked Melania a question last year, in Italian, and she had to get it translated. I wonder if he did that on purpose, or if he innocently believed all the hype that comes out of Trump’s Washington about his ornamental wife?
She supposedly knows French, Macron spoke it to her when they first met. She didn’t understand him

There would be signs if Melania was fluent in French. There’s a group called Alliance Francaise, which holds meetings and is a place where French speakers can gather and talk with other French speakers, enjoy the culture together, that sort of thing. I’m sure Melania would be a member of said alliance and that would be easily proven.
If Melania was in fact this grand dame of the continent, she would be the next Jackie Kennedy, even lacking Jackie’s taste in clothing. Her fluency, her knowledge of all these foreign cultures, would put her in the same stead that it did Jackie. It doesn’t exist. The hilarity here is that if Melania was the level of intellect who had mastered all these languages, she would have merited a better husband than Orange Boy, introduced to her by Epstein or not. A mind that could speak five languages with ease would be one who could not tolerate Trump’s company for half an hour. So WHY does Trump tell this whopper over and over again? Here’s a theory.
I’m in Chicago taping “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” Trump’s bragging that Melania speaks “five languages at least.”
If she speaks five, I’ll eat my cat Larry.#PaulaPoundstone #HeyDonaldTrump #Satire #Comedy pic.twitter.com/5y8GVNkXBD

And frankly it’s an insult to people who are polyglots and know many languages. What’s Trump going to claim next, that Melania’s got degrees in computational and condensed matter physics? Or maybe that will be said about Barron, the computer genius who can find the on/off switch.
Melania was smart enough to find a rich dude and get him to marry her. That’s it. That was her ambition in life and she fulfilled it. She gave him a son. No need for her to have any other talents or show any signs of intelligence. Her tragedy was that the dude she picked was/is an asshole who had ambitions beyond his real estate empire, thereby ruining her plans for a quiet life of luxury.
That about sums it up. She didn’t anticipate this kind of a life in a fishbowl and I’m sure she hates it. That said, in so many ways she’s as bad as he is. That peacoat with the “I Really Don’t Care Do U?” stuck in my craw then and it does now. The absolute height of bad taste. That was Melania’s Marie Antoinette moment and I’m sure that’s exactly how she feels. She wants to look good and spend money, end of discussion.
Except, that “Marie Antoinette moment” never happened.
At least, not to Marie Antoinette. Her only real “crime” was being a “foreign” queen.
The whole “let them eat cake” story first appeared in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “Confessions” and he likely wrote the account in 1765 when Marie Antoinette was a little girl living in Austria. (The “Confessions” wouldn’t be published until 1782 several years after she’d become queen.) Rousseau’s actual writings only attributed the phrase to “a great princess” and the first attribution to Marie came nearly 50 years after her execution in a pamphlet written by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr (who also popularized–or possibly originated–the phrase “plus ça change, plus c’est la mëme chose”). The phrase–although it would’ve been known to the leaders of the French Revolution–was never used by the Revolutionaries, not even in evidence during the mock trial that led to the Queen’s execution. The Queen’s biggest crime was simply being the Queen and the fact that she was from Austria (which had long been a rival power to France and was the main reason why Maria Antoinette was married off to Louis).
Ironically, as a child, Marie was a fairly poor student and couldn’t write proper German (her native language) and she had difficulty with other languages of the court such as Italian and, interestingly enough, French and it was reported that conversations with her could be very stilted.
Alors, ecoutez bien mes amis. Elle ne parle point le francais! De ca, J’en suis sur. Et une autre 6 langues de plus? Hey, soyez serieux les mecs. Moi, je suis (ou au Quebec, “chui”) capable de communiquer (MAUVAISESMENT!) en 7 langues, et je comprends tres bien les competences qui elicites de telles competences, et jugeant seulement de son competence en Anglais, c’est tous simplement impossible qu’elle parle les autres avec n’imperte-quelle niveau de competence. Tout simplement pas possible. Feel free to put this into Goog translate if you do not understand what I have commented on here. 🙂
