Melania Busted Telling Major Lie During Pathetic Softball Interview, ‘Such a Self-Absorbed Person!’

This is crazy.

By

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, an ex-aide for former first lady Melania Trump, saw the interview that Melania did with Fox’s Ainsley Earhardt, and she saw something that looked different than you or I might have recognized.

In fact, Stephanie was more than a little taken aback by what she saw.

During a segment in which the host was talking about Melania’s personal life as a mother, she brought up a picture (for the audience to see) of Mrs. Trump and her son Barron when he was small. “I looked at that picture and I said, ‘This is a working mom’s life.’ We can all relate to this. Everything’s chaotic, everything’s hectic, but it’s so much fun,” said Earhardt.

Then she asked Melania, “When you look at that picture, what was happening in that moment?”

The former first lady’s answer is what set off Winston-Wolkoff into a fury on social media. You see, Melania tried to claim solidarity among the type of women that Stephanie herself has a lot of experience with, that of a working mom.

“When I see it, that was the time I did QVC collection, my jewelry… I was there playing with Barron. It’s very important that we show our children that we are working, too,” said Trump.

I don’t think there are many who would call what Melania did — or does — being a “working mom.” Now, I’m all for honoring the efforts of all mothers, and in no way am I saying that Melania’s not a “real mom,” like the GOP says about Kamala Harris just because her kids are stepchildren.

But to call hawking trinkets on QVC “work” is a bit of a stretch.

This is not some businesswoman struggling to find daycare or trying to balance her work and home life. This is a woman who had a line of jewelry on a home shopping channel that other people designed and made and she stamped her name on it. She did that “work” literally because she had no other responsibilities.

The photo itself seemed to incense Winston Wolkoff, because it was presented as though it was some candid everyday shot that someone happened to get of Melania “finally” getting some time away from her grueling gig doing, um, nothing while other people even sold the jewelry for her.

First, here is the ridiculous interview clip that set Winston Wolkoff off:

Then Winston Wolkoff’s response:

Yes, Melania. Enjoy those “fleeting” moments of Barron’s childhood that you got to experience every single one of while he was in a private school and you had every comfort in the world available to you.

I mean, it took a backbreaking 45 minutes to SELL OUT the entire jewelry collection Melania had to offer! It’s amazing she even had a second to breathe, what with all of that absolutely nothing she was doing while it was going on.

And while you’re at it, make sure somebody gets a great shot of you in one of those moments that “flies by” (unless you have a personal photographer), that you can then sell to a photo agency for times like this, when you need to work even harder for a buck by playing with your kid.

The very first comment following Stephanie’s tweet says it all:

It really just added to the ongoing notion that the entire Trump family is a bunch of complete phonies. But it was a slap in the face for moms who are working their hardest in the HOPES they’ll get a moment with their kid, photographer or not.

The sentiment was the same pretty much across the board about Melania’s clearly VERY difficult life as first lady.

And hey, what working mom doesn’t have a full back catalogue of modeling photos, both in clothes and out of them, to fall back on if her career as a grifter like her husband falls through?

But this is far from the first time that Stephanie Winston Wolkoff has called out the woman she used to work for. Back during Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial — you know, that trial that made him a felon 34 times over — Stephanie was present to characterize Melania’s behavior, too.

And even then, she was saying what she’s saying now:

“Everything Melania does is staged.”
