UPDATE: Hours after this post went up, Melania Trump‘s official White House bio was edited to remove any mention of QVC or the name of her jewelry line, “Melania™ Timepieces & Jewelry.” It’s probably a good call not to give the first lady’s brand a shoutout on a site owned by the federal government, so good edit, guys.
The Washington Post confirms:
“The original passage read: ‘Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, ‘Melania™ Timepieces & Jewelry,’ on QVC,’ the site read.
The updated version of the site now says: ‘Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection.'”
Immediately after Donald Trump was sworn into office, the White House began scrubbing its official website. One of the very first pages to go was the LGBT page, followed by the Climate Change, Civil Rights, and Healthcare pages.
Perhaps Trump’s team is working on updating those pages for the new year. Or maybe they’ve already begun their erasure of any and all things tainted by reality. Who knows? In any event, one page that was set and ready to go at 12:01 on the dot was Melania Trump’s official White House bio. And it’s absolutely ridiculous.

Melania’s bio makes a point of noting that she is “only the second First Lady born outside of the United States. The first since Louisa Adams, wife to John Quincy Adams, the nation’s sixth president.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
(It fails to mention, however, that she’s also the first one who ever worked illegally in this country as an immigrant.)
It talks about her gig as a co-host on The View with Barbara Walters, all the high profile New York photographers she’s worth with, and the time she did a layout for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Vogue, and other glossy publications.
(It conveniently forgets to mention her now-infamous Mic magazine spread, which we happen to think is some of her best work.)

Then comes the really good stuff.
At the end of the bio, it mentions her brand of cheap QVC jewelry. “Melania is also a successful entrepreneur,” the bio reads. “In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, “Melania™ Timepieces & Jewelry”, on QVC.”
But the best part has to be the final line, which talks about her platform as the new First Lady:
Mrs. Trump cares deeply about issues impacting women and children, and she has focused her platform as First Lady on the problem of cyber bullying among our youth.
Emphasis on the words “among our youth” and no mention of “70-year-old man-childs.” Apparently Mrs. Trump has no plans to try and rein in her Twitter-happy husband’s online behavior.
Here’s looking at a long four years!

Yeah…once a hoe, always a hoe.

Truth. She a hoe.

Melania did NOT work as a prostitute. She did a couple of tacky photo shoots for a sleazy photographer but she was not an escort or anything like that.
If you want to blame anybody for her tacky photos, why don’t you blame liberals and their soft porn philosophy? Gay culture is full of smut.
ted_brock
LOL… JIm Bakker much? The REAL smut users are the repressed evangelicals and “wide stance” republican types. The liberals are too busy getting laid
frankcar1965
She’s a high class hooker not a Hoe! And her “modelling” career is really a euphemism for that. He is known for liking high class hookers and can afford them. I really think she is a trans and I think it would be neat to have a trans as a first lady, another first for us. She has that somewhat “hard” look about her. I think Barron came from a rented uterus too, money can buy you a kid for sure.
DCguy
Oh look, a GOP troll, hey, question, since you are supposedly the party of “Personal Responsibility” you’ll have to explain how it’s “Liberals” fault that Melania did several porn shoots for magazines.
Oh wait that’s right, in GOP and troll circles, you just scream “Liberals” and think that nobody will remember what the subject of the article is.
So just in case you forgot, the White House is now hocking Jewlery but took down all mention of LGBT rights. And you, an anti-lgbt troll support that.
scotshot
Melania did work as an “escort”, but let’s go to better things:
Besides the soft core porn, I prefer the completely naked photos, the bondage pics and the hot, hot, hot naked Lesbian photos.
If Liberals created pornography we’re sure making billions off of all you regressive, repressed and sexually frustrated “conservatives.

Looky, looky! It is the rabidly misogynistic Brian, who drags women of substance through the mud defending the trashy trophy wife of his idol Trump.
Funniest post of the year so far!!!

Why are people attacking Melania Trump for doing a nude photo shoot but never attacked Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, for posing naked in a porn photo shoot
monroerob69
Frank: We already had a trans Michelle.

I could care less about Melania’s jewelry line. Poor thing has been dragged into this whole thing as an unwilling participant. But its still a sign of the amateur things to come. I am looking forward to the mental gymnastics Trump will come up with to speak on his pathetically attended inauguration. Early estimates say 250,000. I was there in 2009 for President Obama’s 1.8 million. Trump said he’d break records for crowds at his inauguration. The inaugural parade had empty stand after empty stand. But he will find a way to blame “fake news” and his deplorables will be right there to agree.
CarrieV
His attendance numbers may indeed have broken records… for the lowest ever counted.
scotshot
@CarrieV. Right on target!
Kangol
Pimp out that White House website and everything you get your hands on, Drumpf! By the time he and his cronies are done, we’ll be lucky if we still have a Treasury.
Brian
Melania could’ve picked just about any other topic as her focus and it would’ve made more sense. Is the whole administration delusional? Perry as the Secretary of Oops, a fast food CEO as Secretary of Labor… It’s as if every decision is the worst possible decision.
btrmale
Well it’s important to use her power to sell jewelry. I’ve been wondering how she, an immigrant, is going to remain in the country. Couldn’t the orange man find a REAL AMERICAN to marry”? I guess immigrants like her will even marry him to get out of their own country. But if he’s keeping jobs in America he should have married a AMERICAN. But I guess there are some jobs Americans just won’t do!!!
Clark
Do you even understand the immigration issue ? The word ILLEGAL should be there somewhere you dickhead
ericcub78
The second FLOTUS born outside of the USA? Really bitch? What about Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Martha Jefferson, Dolley Madison and Elizabeth Monroe? These women were all born before 1776, which would make them British subjects at the time of their births. The first step to being connected to politics is to learn the history of the country.
scotshot
Using your “logic”, if that is true no male who was born in what became the United States as a British citizen would have been considered a foreigner and would have been Constitutionally unable to run for President ( this is covered in Article ll, Section 1, Clause 5 allows anyone who was a citizen of the United States).
Please Mary.

So is the White House now going to be just another platform for Trump and his family to hawk their cheesy wares?
btrmale
What do u expect. This is just another game show for him.
greybat
I try to be as kind to Melania as I can.
After all, she has taken on a Heavy National Burden, that climbs on top of her twice a month!
Daniel-Reader
Awkward for her… you know, to be married to him given the whole him and her adultery thing and all, since every horny straight ugly guy she meets will think he has a chance with her. And she has to wonder if and who the third adultress will be now that he’s pres and there are sleazy women that don’t mind adultery when they aren’t the one being crapped and pissed on by it. Very awkward indeed.
ErikO
The Obama administration removed the LGBT page as the former President does this when leaving office.
ChrisK
Yeah, I remember that story. Bush was so upset too. Lol
DCguy
Then you’ll have to explain why there is nothing there about LGBT rights, but they DID have time to put up a page hocking jewelery.
Paul
Nothing was “scrubbed” from whitehouse.gov. All of the Obama administration content was removed and the Trump adminstration has added as much as the’ve felt like adding in a day’s time. All of the former content remains available here: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov.
frankcar1965
Scrubbed into the archives you mean.
scotshot
So you’re saying they got tired and just went home?
smh
ashleyvee
This is actually not true…..
The bio actually reads:
-Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection.
There is no mention of the collections name and no mention of QVC and no link. It is actually very discrete.
Now I am not a fan of Trump but let’s not spread fake news and Melina has not asked to be put in the position she is in. Here’s hoping she can be a force for good.
CarrieV
I was on that new White House site the minute I heard changes had been made. I’ve seen four, maybe five changes to the site since first checking yesterday. By “four or five changes”, I MEAN that the original Donald content has been re-tooled and updated four or five times thus far (maybe more by the time of this post).
dwes09
Not fake news. There is a correction to the article now: after the news spread about the mention of Melania’s on-line sales site, and it became the butt of jokes, it was taken down. It was not originally discrete.
CarrieV
Is it just me (plus actually everyone I know)… or does Melania Drumpf look like any number of Drag Queens we’ve all see on RuPaul’s Drag Race???
For all the whining against former First Lady Obama’s supposed mannish appearance, I cannot look at the new FLOTUS without seeing a very handsome — and mostly passable — Drag Queen.
kevininbuffalo
“Is it just me (plus actually everyone I know)… or does Melania Drumpf look like any number of Drag Queens we’ve all see on RuPaul’s Drag Race???”
Really? A Ru Paul Drag Queen? I have no use for Trump but get real! Melania is a beautiful woman which anyone with eyes in their head can see, at least anyone who isn’t trying to be cute and funny and failing on both counts.
frankcar1965
What you are really seeing is the TRANS factor, that kind of “hard” TRANS look- you know what I mean. Not all trans can get the fem look down and with some, it takes time but they never get it. As long as they’re happy tho’. Caitlyn still has that manly look a lot of times to me.
A TRANS First Lady would be COOL if she wasn’t attached to that Orange Thing, but it is what we have now to deal with. Maybe he paid for her surgery and this is how she is going to pay it back. He not really conventional marriage material.
phallictomato
And so begins the degradation of America. I’m not surprised LGBT pages have been taken down. Trump’s whole cabinet are anti-gay religious nut jobs.
batesmotel
As someone who did not vote for Trump, I just want to say, please stop freaking out about the White House website.
That’s normal in transition for things to be removed. It’s ok. The website will be redone over the next few months and even years. With 8 years of Obama I guess everyone forgot how government works!
scotshot
No, we’ve had a real experience in how government is not supposed to work. The GOTP was very successful in their main goal: Do not cooperate at all with President Obama. The nation is worse for this.
scotshot
Queerty could run the most true (bad grammar, yes) news story that’s backed up by video, sound, 100,000 witnesses and if Trump didn’t like it, it’s all a lie. Have you seen the hissy he’s throwing regarding the crowd numbers for the last couple of days.
This would be hilarious if it weren’t true.
elliott_hankin
Donald got rid of duplicate sites yesterday one of them being the old aids page and that was a duplicate. People are so negative they are just wIting to find things to bitch about. Just give him a chance already and stop bitching already. Patience is a virtue
dwes09
He had a chance to show his stripes with his appointments and he did. He is creating a quagmire of corruption and seems clearly to be in this for personal gain, the country be damned! A secty of labor who made his fortune by exploiting minimum wage workers, an education secretary who hates public schools, sees no reason to reduce college loan debt, and refused to answer when asked if she would uphold existing regulations! A secty or energy who is in the pocket of the oil industry…
Better to bitch now while there are still forums to do so. I see no wisdom in keeping one’s mouth shut or cutting him slack.
Brian
The one good thing about Melania is that she might take the spotlight off trash like the Kardashians. Melania has more class too.
