“We know our roles,” Melania once told Parenting.com, referring to her domestic life with Trump. “I didn’t want him to change the diapers or put Barron (their son) to bed.”
Melania Trump, who could very well be America’s next First Lady, used to be a bikini model prior to marrying Donald Trump. Apart from our or your views on Donald Trump as the next Mr. President, what needs to be paid attention on is Melania Trump as our next First Lady.
Does she really fit nearly to ‘next to perfect’ as a First Lady? Can she be a great role model for women in a country like United States?
Well, people have different views. But, from having Michelle Obama as our First Lady, who is all about women empowerment, to Mrs. Trump, who is subdued, not a big part of the Trump campaign, more of a surrendered wife …America is going to look very different with Donald Trump as a President.
A rare profile in GQ magazine paints her as a glamorous, silent, surrendered woman who makes, for Trump, ‘easy’ work. She doesn’t fart or ‘make doodie’ in front of her husband. She told interviewers she chose not to go into politics and policy because “Those policies are my husband’s job.” This is a woman who stays in her lane.
There’s nothing wrong in being a surrendered wife, many women choose to ‘lead their lives by letting their husbands lead their lives!’
But, where is the role model for girls, a woman who believes firmly in equality and education and women’s rights, to a silent subordinate wife, where does that lead American women?
What people are saying is that when you have an uneducated, sort of weak First Lady who is not accomplished in her own right, that can be very dangerous for the country. If you look at the mold of Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, ever Barbara and Laura Bush, they are all strong educated women!
Trump seems to want things to be more traditional. And that might mean for women too. Read at Trump’s views on women:
The twice-divorced Trump has a ‘not-so-great’ history with women. He reportedly said of his ex-wife Marla Maples, “Nice tits, no brains.” He called Ariana Huffington a “dog”, called Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig”, called Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly a “bimbo” and a “lightweight” for posing in GQ magazine; the same magazine that featured his wife.
So, would this set the right tone for a nation like America?
Do we want a traditional America?
