I think the point of this post is being missed. This post was to spread a unsubstantiated rumor about a woman infidelity, simply because she is in the political spotlight. No other reason than that. That should not be acceptable. Just because she isn't giving an answer to the question about why she choose to stay in NYC till this summer, (or at least one that people find acceptable) doesn't mean she deserves to have her reputation tarnished with an unsubstantiated sex scandal. You mean like the shit her husband says almost daily to disparage people? |

You mean like the shit her husband says almost daily to disparage people? Just because someone else does it, doesn't make it right for others to do it. Im constantly astounded by the fact that people think its okay to trash her (or anyone for that matter) and spread rumors about her simply because they can. I just don't get it. If you take issue with things she has said thats fine, I don't care. If you take issue with the stance she takes on issues, again, go for it. But to seriously spread a RUMOR that she is cheating on him??? Did we not learn anything since grade school/high school about rumors? Makes you every bit the bully anyone else is. (you being collective not anyone in particular) Nothing anyone does makes it okay to spread false information about them. If its proven she cheated on him and that is the reason she stays in NYC then by all means, rip her to shreds if that makes you feel better. But at least prove it first before you start the ripping. |

Is there some reason you keep referring to her as Melanie, OP? Is it supposed to mean something or be an insult?

Nothing anyone does makes it okay to spread false information about them. False? How do you know that? A rumour is not the same thing as false information. Some rumours are in fact very true. At this point you have no more idea if this information is true or false than anyone other than Melania does. At some point it was just a rumour that Bill Clinton was having an affair with an intern...and we all know how that little rumour turned out. I guess you were equally upset at Trump spreading that false information about Obama not being an American, or being the leader if ISIS? That's the definition of false information right there and a much bigger deal than claims of a bit of hanky panky on the side. And if you are so amazed that famous people have rumours spread about them - than you must spend each and every day in total astonishment because that's a world wide, multi billion industry and I fail to see how that has escaped your attention up to this point. |

Is wanting it to be true the same as spreading gossip? Meaning, I read it and wish it were so, but not discussing it or passing it along. (Yes, I realize just by asking this question, I am participating, but please think of it as a hypothetical question--is wanting something to be true the same as engaging in gossip?

I am begging for a infidelity scandal. It would be the most normal thing that has happened in the White House since that nut became President. Jen Sorry but this cracked me up.🤣 |

I get your point, I really do. And I agree with your point, at least mostly. I certainly know what people telling others untrue stuff about you can do, I've dealt with it often enough at work. But Melania is not helpless, at least not as helpless as many average women. I do feel somewhat bad for her because it's clear that this whole dog and pony show was not her idea and she doesn't seem to be enjoying it. But she has resources available to her that she can use to combat any unfair treatment of her, resources that most of us do not have. That and the fact that the dog and pony show gives me so so many more things to spend my energy worrying about I just do not care if 'someone' is posting twitter rumors about her. She can have her lawyers or the secrets service deal with it. |
