Melania Trump: ‘Unbelievable’ Chris Matthews commented on me

Though Donald Trump insists he wouldn’t recognize Russian-born businessman Felix Sater even if they were sitting in the same room, his close work with Sater building Trump-branded buildings across the USA and the former Soviet bloc tells a different story.

Donald Trump is many things: A union-buster, a xenophobic demagogue, and a callous ruiner of Mexican cuisine, to name a few.

“When you walk in a room, everybody knows the person”, she explained. After Sater left Bayrock around that time, The Associated Press reports that he was given office space and handed out Trump Organization business cards, identifying him as a “senior adviser to Donald Trump”. He wants to unite people.

Trump backers sent Ioffe, who is Jewish, images showing her face superimposed onto that of an Auschwitz prisoner and a cartoon of a Jew being shot in the head. “Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all”. And adds: “He doesn’t go after religions. I have brains. I’m intelligent”, she continued.

“He feels like we need to know who’s coming into this country”.

“Unbelievable”, Melania said. “That’s what I’m saying!”

“I told him if he really wanted to do that I would support him 100 percent”, Melania said.

She also said that her husband’s proposal to ban Muslims was “temporary”, noting he “needs to say it in a softer way”.

Melania fired back at comments Matthews made while taking the stage at the Indiania primary..

Ioffe defended the piece in an interview with The Guardian earlier this month. “I tell him the truth”, she charges. Proving that some people have just the spouse they deserve, Melania said, “I have thick skin”. She reiterated that her parents were private citizens who “should not be subject to Ms Ioffe’s unfair scrutiny”.

Sure, we all know that Donald Trump isn’t actually Hitler (that would just be crazy), but his supporters seem to be activated, in often bigoted and violent ways, by his stance on immigration.

Otherwise, Trump sticks to the lines we’ve heard before – that she speaks her mind around her husband, that she stays very informed about politics even though she’s rarely involved in the campaign. “I tell him the truth”. And they didn’t stop Twitter from speaking their mind about how divisive Trump can often be. Melania said of Matthews’ school-boyish ogling.
