This may come as a surprise, but i don't care about Melania Trump. I care for her in a human sense: I don't wish her ill, I do wish her happiness. Basically the same level of care I wish for everyone, including the people her husband is killing and harming, directly and indirectly.
Bess Truman had to follow in the steps of Eleanor Roosevelt. She hated everything about it. She did what was expected, but no more. She didn't live at the White House for most of the year. I don't know what headaches that caused for security, but again I don't care. If we get that het up about it, I suppose her husband will just continue grifting the money out of his supporters for private security.
Her lawsuit against the Daily Mail contends that she's losing money or has lost an opportunity to make money from product endorsements. Describing her as "the most photographed woman in the world" may be a bit much, but it clearly indicates that she will be using her body and what we want to say about it to make money.
And that's what really has a lot of people mad. Not that she's using her dog or talking about a foster grandchild, but that she's explicitly using her body.
Melania Trump might be the only honest entrepreneur in the family. She's actually had to work for a living, and she apparently wants to continue working. Okay. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
It's not like we pay FLOTUS. This "position" isn't paid, isn't in the Constitution, and really isn't up to us.
I can think of one bright, shining light out of this entire cock up: we women are free. The First Lady has posed in the nude and nobody cares. Every single slut shaming, beauty/ugly bashing comment about womens' bodies is now invalid in every particular.
"Why are you wearing that!?" Point to FLOTUS. "You have too much/little $thing showing" Point to FLOTUS.

Point to FLOTUS.
FREE AT LAST. FREE AT LAST.

Addendum here. The report in contention is that MT worked as an escort, or sex worker. There is no reason this should impugn her character, but we have a long way to go. If we could all let go of that particular predjudice, the lives and livelihood of sex workers could be much improved.
How much do you suppose TikTok dropped in Trump's pocket? [Obvious]
