So Melina Trump claims sheâs really looking forward to spending Christmas in the White House.
On Monday, the Trumps are set to receive their Christmas tree (we hear itâs being shipped from China). In the meantime, Melania has been busy bossing people around making preparations for the impending yuletide season.

Totally uncalled for attack on Melania. Appears she can’t be given credit for anything, even her shoes.
RIGay
Nope, we can’t. She’s nothing more than a mail-order bride and as big a fraud as her husband.
Heywood Jablowme
@RIGay:
I’ve been reading about the Borgias and I think maybe we should cut her some slack.
Can’t you imagine Melania sneaking some poison into Donald’s overdone steak & ketchup?
Brody
She committed the cardinal sin of being married to the man who single-handedly took down the Clinton empire, so yeah, the sore losers are going to hold accountable anyone they can . . . except, of course, for themselves and their loser of a candidate.
frankcar1965
No, she’s just an old high dollar hooker and deserves any flack she gets. She married a good for nothing putz.
Mack
Trump will probably be the first President NOT to pardon a Turkey.
Knight
So, really all this article shows is how ridiculously petty and obnoxiously rude people can be…and that Queerty rewards this behavior. To take something as innocuously harmless as Melania’s tweet and turn it into anything anyone can be upset over simply shows how rabidly irrational people have become.
Brody
It doesn’t take a shrink to recognize the pathology and weakness of those who take such pleasure in trashing the spouse of someone they disagree with (something liberals are frequently eager to do).
Heywood Jablowme
@Brody: How true! The psychos who trashed Michelle Obama non-stop for eight years were really f*cked up.
Stilinski26
What do you expect from queerty the same website that honours child rapist
Knight
Brody I get it. Remember that twat who verbally assaulted Ivanka Trump in front of her children while aboard a Jet-blue flight as his partner willingly supported his “brilliant” decision in a tweet while it was happening? At what point did the offspring of the President become “fair game” for targeted harassment? These twats actually thought running up to Ivanka on a plane and verbally assaulting her was a good idea, and that they were somehow heroes for doing so. It’s the same as these idiots who are tweeting negatively about the First Lady for no other reason that they are insanely bitter people. It obviously goes without saying that I wouldn’t have supported this behavior against the former First Lady either (which admittedly got very petty as well). But to use the excuse of “Well….THEY did it first!” as if it somehow justifies bad behavior getting worse is beyond moronic.
Heywood Jablowme
@Knight: “At what point did the offspring of the President become âfair gameâ for targeted harassment?”
When the offspring is an OFFICIAL adviser to the President, working in her OFFICIAL capacity IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Not defending the harassment in that case (which broke JetBlue’s rules, at least), but if someone yells at Ivanka on Fifth Avenue about policy, of course that would be protected speech.
You act as if she’s underage, like the Obama kids (whose names I already forget). Ivanka has an official, albeit unpaid (except maybe by the Russians, lol) government job.
Knight
Heytard “protected speech” would also be making rude, bigoted comments about Obama’s children. We are not talking about what is accepted or legal, we are talking about what is WRONG ethically and morally (you obviously have never been taught the difference…big surprise there).
Heywood Jablowme
@Knight: Why would it be “WRONG ethically or morally” to yell at a government official, most places other than a commercial airplane? It’s wouldn’t be. You still miss the point. You want to tag ALL liberals with that one JetBlue incident? Fine. I’ll tag you guys with every racist obnoxious disgusting thing I read about the Obama kids for 8 years.
And it’s amusing to be lectured about manners by you of all people. WTF is your problem with our inoffensive know-it-all blowhard Donston?:
“because you were obviously raised by a whore [!!!] who taught you that treating people like that is acceptable behavior. [Like what?] ….. If you dropped dead from syphilis tomorrow I wouldnât care one way or another. So, get this in your head; you mean NOTHING to meâŚget OVER me and phuck off.”
Real polite you are! I know you’re pretending to be rather “new” here (ri-i-i-ght) but someone might agree you’re violating the Queerty comments policy with that kind of stuff.
Brody
Heywood –
The fact that you find it acceptable to publicly attack a government employee in a non-government forum speaks volumes about what kind of human being you are (although, in actuality, I doubt you believe that attacking Michelle Obama on an airplane for her ridiculous school-lunch program would have been acceptable, so I’d like to chalk it up to typical liberal hypocrisy as opposed to the possibility that you’re just a horrible, hateful person).
Knight –
I once made the mistake of presuming liberals have a moral compass, and man, was that a hard-learned lesson.
WillParkinson
@Brody…
Something ‘liberals’ are frequently eager to do? Yes, because no one ever called Michelle Obama ‘Michael’, no one ever called her a gorilla, no one was ever rude to her or the children.
Dude, seriously, I suggest you seek help immediately. Neither party is perfect, and comments like yours simply shows how true that is.
Heywood Jablowme
@Brody: “I doubt you believe that attacking Michelle Obama on an airplane…”
I specifically said I do NOT think it was okay to attack Ivanka on an airplane. It would be okay in many other situations but not there. Your reading comprehension really sucks!
Brody
Will & Heywood –
You guys get back to me when you find a website that attacked Michelle Obama or her kids with the same frequency and venom that Queerty and other gay sites attack the Trumps WITHIN THEIR FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE (hint: You won’t, because liberals are hysterics by nature in their reactions).
WillParkinson
Here, let’s start a list for you, Brody…

Because having Fox News constantly on your ass isn’t enough?
Stop trying to tell us how awful we are to Trump. He’s the president, and open to criticism from any/everyone. He’s also open to praise from those who like him.
As for Melania, she’s open to as much criticism as Michelle Obama was. I hated it for Obama, I don’t care for it for Melania. But please, don’t try to say there’s a difference, because there really isn’t.
Knight
Brody now, now….of COURSE liberals have a moral compass! It simply always points to the left is all đ Which means when it come to arguing with them they are seldom “right”, but simply the only ones “left”. And honestly, while I believe approaching Ivanka in a hostile manner on that flight was a bad decision, that wasn’t what upset me: it was the fact that her CHILDREN were literally in her lap being subjected to this hate-filled ‘tard’s diatribe. And you know what? Forget HER children for a second…did this guy even for a second think about his OWN children? They’ve been thoroughly DOX’d and will forever be “the kids raised by those crazy gay nut-jobs”. Might as well start filling out applications at Wallmart NOW…
Heywood Jablowme
@Knight: Wow, you’re defending doxing of little kids because of something their parents did. That demonstrates right-wingers’ rabid dementia quite well.
But 20 years from now the kids can just apply for work in the urban areas that are the liberal drivers of the economy: New York, Silicon Valley, Boston, L.A., Twin Cities, even Atlanta the liberal engine of the South. Twenty years from now Donald Trump will be at least as despised as Nixon and probably much more so. And ancient history to some, no doubt.
frankcar1965
Get over it snowflake you sound like you want to be her booty buddy. She’s nothing but an old porn chick.
Knight
Frank so what would be the difference between her and your mom? Oh, right…they didn’t have cameras to make “porn” back then.
KaiserVonScheiss
Why is Queerty showcasing this? These are just infantile idiots attacking the First Lady over the most mundane and most First-Lady-like tweets.
What does this have to do with gay anything? Oh, right. Nothing. Some people just want to attack her because they are butthurt about the election.
TĂŞte CarrĂŠe

NEWSFLASH QUEERTy READERS: this is a liberal leaning website. I understand itâs a gay news platform, but itâs liberal. It doesnât like trump. Iâm sick of people getting pissy about the trump-bashing articles they sometimes post. This isnât shocking information. If you want to read right-leaning gay news articles, then go start your own website. This publication has liberal, leftist, snowflake, cok, values, they may not agree with yours but they donât have to. If you donât like the anti trump vibe of this site, stop fking reading it!
mhoffman953
@drmiller
But the slogan at the top of the website says “Free of an agenda”, now you’re saying Queerty has an agenda and is not a source of fair information.
You seem like you’re very upset to hear opinions that might clash with your views when you say that anyone who seeks unbiased news or disagrees with your opinion should go somewhere else. I welcome all opinions and like to hear the other side of every issue as long as it’s presented with facts that are free of bias, not sure why you disagree with that notion so much.
Heywood Jablowme
@mhoffman953: Well, it’s this way. You told us you hang out at 4chan. Do you ever get into arguments at 4chan, or are you generally afraid to comment there, or do you generally agree with all their, um, “unbiased news”?
Knight
Drmiller this isn’t about Trump…this is about his WIFE, the First Lady, and the very poor taste and education levels being displayed towards her over an innocuous tweet. So, how about paying attention to the actual article and getting over yourself?
Mhoff – hey! No fair actually stating facts! You can’t do that!!! Yes, it’s both ironic and hypocritical that the phrase “free of agenda” is being user there, because the insinuation is that the “gay one” includes an ultra-liberal “anything goes” (including manners..as in out the window) mindset.
mhoffman953
@HeywoodJablowme
Nothing of what you wrote addresses anything of what I wrote. I’m not saying that people can’t have a difference of opinion, I’m saying that the news source should be free of opinion and let the comments section be where the opinion discussion is had. I also never said that people should have to leave a website if I disagree with them, drmiller said that by saying we must leave if we disagree.
Plus, 4chan isn’t a blog or a new website, that’s how I know you never went there. Maybe I go there for the lgbt section (http://boards.4chan.org/lgbt/catalog) or the hm section (prefer not to link to since its very NSFW). Queerty is supposed to be the news blog that is “free of agenda”
drmiller
You are all missing my entire point. This site and its editors clearly have a political stances. Letâs not even use the phrase âliberalâ, letâs just go with Anti-Trump. Itâs just a cold hard fact, Queerty has been against Trump since the beginningâand that includes his wife and his kids (along with most of his supporters) so get over it.
My point is, stop acting all surprised and upset when Queerty posts anti-Trump articles. Iâm not saying itâs right, wrong, or otherwise. Iâm not saying queer news HAS to be liberal news. All Iâm saying is you donât get to complain that a Anti-Trump site posts Anti-Trump articles. I donât go on Fox Newsâ website and make annoying comments on their articlesâ message boards, waste of time. And Iâll remind you that THEIR slogan is âFair and balanced.â
Oh and @Knight â just shut up. I think you think you sound smart, but in really youâre just laughably annoying.
mhoffman953
@drmiller
And you are missing the point. You’re going with the notion that Queerty isn’t liberal but instead is anti-Trump, so fair enough, let’s go with that notion. If Queerty is anti-Trump and wants to not be seen as petty or whining about nonsensical things then they should focus on real issues that could be legitimate reasons to disagree with this President. But that is never the case.
Instead they’ll bash the first lady for being excited about the yearly White House Christmas book, or they’ll get angry about what themed month it is at the White House, or get bent out of shape over President Trump feeding fish or drinking water.
I’m ok with a blog that criticizes everyone without taking sides but if they want to take sides, then do it to be taken seriously. Do you honestly think this blog post swayed anyone over to the anti-Trump side? It actually might’ve done the opposite
TĂŞte CarrĂŠe
“cok values”?
I luv cok!
Knight
drmiller and you might think anyone takes orders from or cares about the personal opinion of some queen pretending to “play doctor” on the internet, but in reality you’re just a self-absorbed dolt. So, please feel free to take your ridiculously irrelevant observations and shove them far inside your vagina.
Brody
MrMiller –
You’re absolutely right that no one is forced to visit this site, nor is anyone forced to agree with it. But it’s a valid point that Queerty doesn’t fashion itself a political site—it claims it’s a gay one—and as a gay site assumes all its readers must be as hard-left as its bloggers are. The fact is, despite how much liberals may want to lay claim to our allegiance, some of us ‘mos are actually able to think for ourselves, meaning not all of us will fall into the trap of liberal groupthink, meaning some of us will challenge the patronizing notion that we should all have the same monolithic points of view.
WillParkinson
@Brody
“…meaning not all of us will fall into the trap of liberal groupthink, meaning some of us will challenge the patronizing notion that we should all have the same monolithic points of view.”
Do you not find this at all ironic, considering you’re uttering the same thing so many conservatives say?
drmiller
@mhoffman â â…wants to not be seen as petty or whining about nonsensical things…â I never said that they want to be seen this way. Iâm merely saying, regardless of whatever theyâre stating as their bottom line, they post anti-trump articles all the time. Call it hypocritical or whatever else you want, but get over it because hoping that will change would optimistic to the point of foolishness.
drmiller
@knight â I distinctly remember telling you be quiet, Iâm not sure why I still see your comments. Shhhhhh. Just shhhhhh. Thatâll do, thatâll do.
drmiller
@brody I completely understand your point. Not all gays are liberal (pretty sure I mentioned that up there somewhere) but yes. Message received. Now please recieve this:
Queerty isnât the emporer of gays. Itâs not saying all gays are liberal. But THEY are. And they can post whatever they want to. If you donât like the articles they post, which have always been anti-trump and typically very democrat, then stop reading it. I donât like the anti-liberal, pro-trump, conservative stance of Fox News, so I stay away from it.
If you think there are better ways of providing gay news to people, then go start your own website or blog or podcast or whatever. But this one is liberal and thatâs not going to change. Get-over-it.
Brody
Point taken, Mr M., but I and others still retain the right to post our opinions in response to stories like these.
Thankfully, the good people at Queerty have chosen not to jump on the Berkeley bandwagon, where dissenting voices are silenced.
Knight
Drmiller and I guess you didn’t get the memo that your authority doesn’t extend beyond your own hideous nose. Shake the sand out of your vagina there, missy. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Prax07
I know some scenarios that would make my holiday a super happy one…the Entire Trump clan deported to Russia where their bosses live, the Entire Trump clan assassinated, or the Entire Trump clan imprisoned. Any of thise would leave me giggling with glee. I’d settle for impeachment though.
mhoffman953
@Prax07
I wonder if the other commenters that typically disagree with me, agree with this post?
It’s very telling when you rather see a sitting US President die in a murder to throw the country into turmoil instead of seeing him and America succeed. This must be how the extreme left view things
Heywood Jablowme
@mhoffman953: Well, SINCE YOU ASK – and thank you so much for asking! – no I don’t agree.
I hope Trump is imprisoned but he’d probably escape to Russia before that happens. No I don’t want him assassinated. Although he’s obese and eats a lot of fast food so a heart attack would not be unexpected at age 71. Regarding his children & Jared, I’m as yet undecided. (Wait for Mueller, unless he gets fired!)
I’ve already expressed sympathy in this comment thread for his wife (see above). Seriously.
Knight
mhoff you are correct. I’m not even a US citizen and I found what that idiot said was psychotic at best, treasonous at worst. If I were Queerty, I’d even be worried that someone as unstable as that were using this board to comment as I think he may have even crossed a line.
P.S….isn’t if telling that after over a year of desperately trying to find some “Russian connection” that absolutely nothing has come up tying Trump to Putin? Yeah…diplomats and politicians talk pre and post election. Nothing different here than say, Hillary Clinton speaking to the Saudi King Salman.
WillParkinson
@mhoffman953
I seriously don’t understand people who throw out there that ‘the extreme left’ wants Trump to die rather than succeed.
For eight years, Obama was hanged in effigy, was called racist names, had pictures of him defaced, but how many times did people say that was wrong? How often did people say they disagreed with them?
Many might think that people are reaping what they’ve sown. It started a long time ago, and has been going downhill on both sides since then.
gayhope1990
Douchebag.
Prax07
@mhoffman Thing is I don’t care if anyone else agrees with me on wishing Trump would get assassinated. I do know for a fact, because I’ve talked to people, and overheard conversations, that many people want Trump dead. From the woman at the convenient store where I buy cigarettes, to seniors in my mother’s doctors office, to women my mother is friends with, to distant relatives talking among themselves at my great aunts funeral. Impeachment or a sniper, that’s what some, not just me, are wishing for.
There’s no hoping for Trump to succeed at being president, he’s a terrible human facsimile that puts the US at risk by his insane behaviour and people want him gone one way or another.
Knight
Prax odd that you would claim to be speaking as an American echoing the people around you and yet write “behaviour”…just saying.
Prax07
I also write colour and call elevators lifts, and love cooking Shepherd’s Pie. Doesn’t mean I’m British, just happen to like victorian/steampunk literature and have been watching pbs’s british series’ since I was a teenager. Hayacinth Bucket, Mr Humphreys, Mrs Slocombe, and 1980’s Dr Who are some of my old favourites.

Heywood Jablowme
That’s the second time you’ve written that. Which “child rapists” are you referring to: Roy Moore or Donald Trump? I’m pretty sure Queerty has never defended either of them. đ
If you’re referring to Kevin Spacey, Queerty didn’t defend him either. They were pretty tough on him.
Stilinski26

Look how desperate Mo Bro is to try to deflect from the fact that Trump stated he would appoint judges to harm lgbts, and the GOP has an anti-lgbt plant in their platform.
They go rabid, and he brings out multiple screenames to flip out any time either Melania or Ivanka is mentioned so they can lie and pretend that these two are the poor victims of evil liberal bullying.
Sorry Mo Bro, they support and are part of an organization that has stated one of it’s goals is to harm us and make us second class citizens.
So you and all of your other screenames, (Mandrake, Knight, Brody, Stilinski26, KaiserVonScheiss, mhoffman953)
Can keep replying to each other as many times as you want, but we all know you’re anti-lgbt trolls who are here to give cover to hatred and bigots who want to do us harm.
You’re terrible at this, tell Putin to send some better trolls please.
KaiserVonScheiss
By “appoint judges to harm LGBTs” you mean follow the constitution and/or law as it’s written, i.e. exactly what a judge should do.
Apparently you seem to think that judges should just ignore the law and impose an agenda onto everyone. Well, I hate to tell you, but laws are written by congress, not the executive branch or the judiciary.
DCguy
@KaiserVonScheiss
It’s funny when you trolls forget that you’ve already lost this argument.
1. Trump said specifically he would appoint judges to remove recent lgbt rights rulings. That isn’t following the Constitution, that is making a statement that you will use judicial appointees to cause harm to a particular minority.
But it’s always fun to see how one of Mo Bro’s troll screenames will try to hide bigotry behind numerous verbal tricks.
You know, the same way you guys use “Family Values” to mean “Bigotry” or “Conservative” to mean “Bigots”.
I’d say “Nice Try” but you are so bad at this it’s just sad at this point.
WillParkinson
If that’s the case, Kaiser, then they’ll say there is no ‘religious exemption’, right?
