Another day, another tone-deaf tweet from Melania Trump.
Just days after her husband was accused of racism for (allegedly) saying that people from African nations come from “shithole countries,” the First Lady tweeted some nonsense about “equality and justice for all” in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day:
Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & his service to this great country. I am honored to be First Lady of a nation that continually strives for equality & justice for all. #MLKDay
— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) January 15, 2018
(Let’s not forget, Melania has her own dark history of racism. Like her husband, she promoted the racist birther theory against President Obama for years.)

What did you do today (other than send this tweet) to honor MLK?
— Wendy Piecka (@w_piecka) January 16, 2018
You are an enabler to a disgusting bigot who only seeks to enrich himself & you turn your head while he disgraces not only our country, but your own marriage. I bet you know little about MLK. You & your words are meaningless

What planet are you on? #45 is doing everything he can to discourage equality and justice for all, especially going against @BarackObama.

YOU, of all people, attacked President Obama over his birth certificate which he provided; you called the certified copy a “fake”. Is that honor/equality/justice? Please provide your immigration papers and family’s tax returns (complete & unedited)!

Things weren’t much better over on The White House’s official Twitter page. Whoever runs that account tweeted:

Great how you had enough energy to retweet this before you played golf. Past presidents have done any number of things to commemorate MLK Day. But not you…no…..not you. #shitholebyebye #stablegeeeenius

These people are deranged. The left has abandoned the “judge people based on the content of their character” for straight up racism. First there’s the racism against whites, and then the racism of low expectations.
Brody
There once was a first lady named Melania
Who was always a smart, loving mama
But she never could please
The LGBT’s
So said, “F*ck ’em, who needs the drama?”
curiobi
Go back to Russia troll. What you’re saying does not even make sense. The fact is 45 is racist, he has proven that time and time again. He did nothing but golf on MLK day. He is on twitter at all hours but is silent on MLK day?! You, him, and your clan hat can hop on the SS Nazi with that trash.
DCguy
Oh Look, one of Mo Bros other screenames is DESPERATELY trying to avoid the fact that Trump not only called countries with non whites in them “Sh*tholes”
But then complained that we couldn’t get immigrants from “More countries like Norway”. Try all you want, but her husband made a blatantly racist comment, so having the communication staff put out a tweet from her on this topic just reminds people of the racist she married.
Sorry facts offend you.
KaiserVonScheiss
@DCGuy
Muh muh muh muh screen names. Muh screen names. Go back to fantasy land. Sorry, but in the real world people have different opinions and Haiti is a shithole.
Heywood Jablowme
@Kaiser: Nobody is stopping you from calling Haiti a shithole. But I notice that you’re not doing so under your real name. You’re doing it under your (sh!tty) pseudonym.
Why don’t you go ahead and broadcast your opinion of Haiti on the internet under your real name? Your boss (if you have one) or your customers/clients (if any, especially any black ones) can chime in and let everyone know their opinion of your opinion.
Btw, you seem to forget that Trump has denied ever saying “shithole,” anyway!

@DCguy
When did “shithole” become a racist comment?
Knight
DCTroll is using one of his MANY screen names to point his finger and accuse others of having multiple screen names. The reality is DCTroll has at least 5 different screen names now. Goforit, Vince…I lost count.
dwes09
Couldn’t care less how many of the regressive posters here are the same person, their posts remain amusing and based in their own little fantasy worlds. The left DOES judge on the content of character, especially in the case of Trump who has few filters and makes the content of his character clear at all times: crass, low-brow, uninformed, narcissistic, and so, so much more.
It seems more often the regressives post based on spin (their own chosen definitions of words, excuses for the actions of others, and an inability to understand how racism works or even what it necessarily is despite scholarly writing on it from both the left and the right.
Redmage
That’s the left.. Division, and political violence has always come from the left… This is because the ideas of the left, are very un-American. It is incorrect that they will call someone like Richard Spencer, and other white nationalist right-wing.. There isn’t anything right-wing about him, or those guys.. Someone who is right-wing is someone on the extreme side of libertarian ideology… They hate any and all forms of government, they want anarchy.. This is also an evil thing, and births chaos, which then brings you a dictator, when people want the madness to stop.
White nationalist, are another product or side of the left.. It is another ideology that does not care for the individual, our constitution, or the freedoms and rights of others. They are garbage like Black lies (oops) lives Matters (unless you’re black, killed by another black), and ANTIFA (pot calling the kettle black is what they are).. But the left, always tries to paint things or people that oppose their twisted views, as “right-wing”, they are good at deflection, projection, and lies… But only fool the uneducated, irrational, and emotional.
DCguy
Two of Mo Bros screenames are already on here hyperventilating to try to deflect attention from Trump’s racist comments and wanting more immigrants from “Countries like Norway”.
Remember, their ONLY goal here is to deflect for and shill for anti-lgbt racist GOP officials and bigoted evangelicals.
Nice try trolls.
leobaga
@DCguy: repeat after me — Trump is MY President.
That isn’t hard, is it? *giggles*
DCguy
Awww, how cute, I point out the right wing trolls keep trying to deflect from Trump’s racism…..and then you did that. You are so my bitch.
Redmage
I’m black, and I didn’t find his comment about shithole countries racist… I can name many other countries, that are indeed shitholes, and some of them are even in Europe, and some in Europe becoming so, the more they let in the barbarians who continue to rape, kill, and leech off of the government..
I’m getting really sick of people throwing the word racist around at every damn thing.. Or calling everyone a Nazi or fascist.. When the very people deeming others such, behave like them more.
The birther thing cracked me up, I love how everyone tries to ignore the fact that it was the Clintons that started to question Obama’s place of birth, then a black guy (Clinton supporter) did the very same on CNN.. It is not racist to question the birthplace of someone.
He BGB
I have noticed more than once when 45 reads a speech like the MLK one, it sounds like he’s reading something totally foreign to him. It’s always a speech where empathy is needed like a flood, earthquake, or beloved black leader. It’s very creepy like as he’s struggling through the words he has no idea what’s he’s saying (written OBVIOUSLY by someone else because we know he doesn’t feel that way really ). He gets someone else to write topic he knows nothing about, DISAGREES WITH, etc. And usually stays on topic (this is the only way he can).
He BGB
I don’t think he even reads the speech beforehand. Look at his face as he reads,like a child he seems to be surprised at some of the things he is saying!
Ryuun12
Holy shit you guys are pathetic. She says something nice and you attack her for it. She literally was trying to encourage equality and remembers Martin Luther King and honors what he has done for people.
And once again the left goes into a frenzy because all they know how to do is hate anyone who disagrees with their views, no matter what they actually say or do.
And we got the triggered snowflakes here who cry about ‘trolls’ here because we don’t hold the same views they do. Just like a liberal!
Brody
I don’t know about you, but all the love emanating from the left these days makes ME all warm and fuzzy inside.
curiobi
She was being nice? And what proof do you have that she had anything to do with that tweet?
Based on her actions towards Obama does she really care about black people or MLK day? Not likely. A staffer wrote it so just stop trying to pretend she gives a damn. And it is not being a snow flake to call a troll a troll like I’m calling you and the rest of the weirdos who constantly spam this site with your pro GOP bull even though 45 has been terrible on LGBT issues. You don’t belong here. Go back to Milo and Bannon… oh dear did you lose them? ;D
Knight
Don’t you get it? She’ll never be accepted as saying anything “nice” unless it defames her race, her husband, her beliefs or something else out of the brainless leftist playbook.
curiobi
@Knight Defame her race and religion? Quit trolling. The issue here is simple. A staffer is trying to pretend she cares about being the first lady, when she obviously doesn’t. So pretending she does with tweets written for her pretending she cares is annoying for many people. Nothing to do with religion.
If you love 45 and his politics so much go comment on fox news. Why are you here?
Ummmm Yeah
So are Queerty and LGBTQ Nation owed by the same people now?
mhoffman953
@UmmmmYeah
Yup, they’re owned by a company called Q.Digital which gives money to ActBlue.
It wouldn’t surprise me either if Q.Digital receives money from ShareBlue or MediaMatters to push propaganda pieces
Knight
I figured that out awhile ago. This is the “gay propaganda wing” of the democratic party.
Brody
UY –
Due to the constant cross-referencing, I’d say they’re one and the same.
Knight –
But-but-but they’re FREE of an agenda! It says so right there in their logo! And we all know that liberals treat everyone equally, regardless of politics, so you’re obviously just a Russian robot hateful hetero troll.
ivanw222
Mr. Trump’s words are not bad, but there are two problems with them.
1. His delivery is very wooden, might as well just been a picture of him and a recording. No apperence of himself in the words, clearly it was written by someone else.
2. These words, following the “shithole countries” comment has nothing to do with his real feelings. It may not have been intended, but the result is a slap in the face of minorities. He just doesn’t get it.
jorgecruz
Melania proved she is not racist by stealing the speech of the Michelle Obama.

Melania Trump should limit her internet posting to dirty snatch shots. She is proficient at spreading her legs.

@dwes09
LOL No they do not.. Mitt Romney is a good man, did so much for people in his community, as well as his employees- doesn’t talk about the extremely awesome stuff he’s done for people, this is a truly a sign of good character.. People of the left did not, and still today do not care about that, and just painted him as some mean old rich guy, who hates anyone who doesn’t look like him, and hates poor people.. Don’t even know the man, didn’t care to know his character, but quick to paint him as something he isn’t.. This isn’t the first time, they have done this, nor the last.. Its what the left does, because again.. The left does not care about character, or the individual- you’re good only if you agree with them.
Redmage
If Trump cured cancer, and AIDS in the same day.. Pathetic silly twats of the left, would complain about it, and find some way to call it racist lol.
