Why did Melania Trump’s North Carolina photo op spark criticism of the Trump family?
Melania Trump was throwing Donald Trump, the entire Trump family, including herself, under the bus again. She tried to do a photo op in Ash County, North Carolina yesterday, but she just exposed what a despicable individual she is, and of course, what a vile family she is a part of, especially what a vile human Donald Trump is. Let's break that. This is all down. So here's the announcement that she made for this photo op in Ash County, North Carolina. First Lady Melania Trump special visit to Ash County, North Carolina, bearing witness to a community's resilience. Yeah, a resilience against the Trump regime, against your family that has inflicted a Yeah.
Lot of pain and suffering on North Carolina. So Ash County, like a number of the surrounding areas, was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, which hit about two years ago when the Trump regime came into power after Donald Trump spread all of this disinformation about Biden's efforts to actually utilize FEMA to help Ash County. County and lots of areas in North Carolina. What did the Trump regime do? They immediately denied the request of North Carolina for emergency aid through FEMA. And so the governor of North Carolina appealed and FEMA repeatedly denied it. Also, the Trump regime cut FEMA staff unlawfully in half. So it lost tens of thousands of FEMA workers who would be able to respond to tragedies like Hurricane Helene.
So the resiliency that Melania spoke of when she visited Ash County, and she took these photo ops where she spoke with these elementary school students. Yeah, a lot of the resiliency was against the Trump regime's behavior. It should also be noted that while she was in Ash County, she was asked about Don Jr.'s connection to that guy, Umar Kremlov, the Russian oligarch, Putin's buddy who helped bankrupt. Don Jr.'s wedding. You know, Don Jr.'s wife, Bettina, was like, Umar, he's our close friend. Of course he's gonna fund the Bahama Island where the wedding takes place. Of course he's gonna pay for the funfetti and fire. That's what Russian oligarchs do. Duh. Well, Melania's office also put out a statement and she said, I am not behind that.
I do not like Kremlin. I do not know who he is. That's just Don Jr., blame him. And one of the things that Melania always tries to co-opt is, you know, she always says that she's reuniting Ukrainian families and Russian families. She doesn't really say if they're Ukrainian or Russian families. They're just like she did her fifth reunification, which in theory would be something significant if we actually. Knew who these families were? Do we have photos of them? Are they being reunited to Russia or Ukraine? What was the process? Like, who are these people? You can't just denounce reunification. Then her fixer always goes on TV and he's like, She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Give her a prize, or at least give her another documentary with Amazon.
The whole thing is so freaking deranged. Oh, and by the way, when she was in Ash County and she went to this elementary school, she's like, I come here to give you AI. I want to give you AI, gifts of AI. Okay, I don't really think we should be giving elementary school students gifts of AI right now, especially everything that's going on. I give you gifts of AI. This is how it was reported by the USA Today Network doing their best propaganda for Melania on this trip. Access journalism at its finest. Melania Trump gifts AI tools to North Carolina students amid growing industry concerns. It's at least a decent headline, but here's how they describe it. First Lady Melania Trump called on students in North Carolina to lean into AI tools during a September 15 appearance.
Speaking at Mountain View Elementary School in Ash County, Trump honored people affected by Hurricane Helene nearly two years later. It was a rare speaking engagement for the first lady, and an important part I want you all to know, she wore a dark green leather jacket, matching stilettos, and an off-white sweater and a skirt for the occasion. What what occasion? What's the occasion?
