A festive visit that sparked a brutal online storm.
Melania Trump is facing backlash over what was intended to be a heartwarming moment when she visited a children's hospital on Friday. She met the patients at Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C., and continued the decades-old tradition for first ladies. During her time in there, FLOTUS sat in a big red chair in front of a Christmas tree and read "How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney," written by Mac Barnett, to around two dozen children.
The First Lady of the United States was born in Slovenia, and reportedly knows a total of five languages. However, critics were quick to notice that Melania struggled to read out loud in English. She slipped up a few words and said, "Can Santa see in the dark? Does he wear night vision that makes everyone green, everything green?" She seemingly struggled to pronounce several words, and it included the word Christmas, as well.

Multiple critics stated that it was difficult to understand the reading, especially concerning the fact that Melania has a strong Slovenian accent and it again goes on reflecting the hypocrisy of the Trump administration, concerning their immigration crackdown. "She can't even read properly, or speak English clearly! There's no engagement with the children she's reading to…Completely devoid of any emotion. The kids deserve better…" one X user wrote."So… Melania Trump struggles with reading out loud. wtf did you MAGAs do??? lol," a second commented. A third noted: "From the most anti-immigrant administration ever. The irony is f—— insane." A fourth said: "I heard Melania Trump reading a Christmas story to children. If she was on the street talking, ICE would be detaining her." Another joked: "Poor kids. They'll never think of Creeestmas the same again."

Following the Melania Trump wished the children strength and "lots of toys." "I'm sure Santa will visit all of you this Christmas and bring you a lot of toys, so I wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy new year" she continued. "I wish you a lot of strength and love." She also said, President Trump "is sending love and best wishes as well." Before going to visit patients privately, she spoke with children in the audience and then entered the hematology and oncology sector of the hospital.
The first lady also brought gifts for the patients, which consisted of tree ornaments stamped with "Be Best," which is the name of her child well-being initiative. Not to mention that the visit of the FLOTUS to a children's hospital during the festive period has been the tradition going on since Bess Truman, who started it being first lady from 1945 to 1953.

the real one isnt much better
Its hard to imagine a storytelling being more boring to kids.
I dont blame Melania, I blame the people who ask her to do things she's not capable of.
Obviously, that isn't Melania Trump.
Does this open this site to legal jeopardy?
Get a grip for petes sake.
You posted two videos that are fake.
Dont embarrass yourself any further.
The second one was Melania. With the heavy Slovenian accent she did quite well, I understood every word. I bet the four other languages she speaks also sport a heavy Slovenian accent.
This is something that has been going on recently on YouTube. Usually there is a split-second disclaimer at the beginning.
Beyond that, I don't know how any decent human being could criticize a First Lady for taking time to read to children.
You got that right.
Vic, if SNL mocked her reading ability , and someone posted the clip, would you be saying that Newstalkers is in legal jeopardy ? Your "argument" is ridiculous.
Her reading a childrens book is a photo op for her. The little girl is seen yawning at one point.
Lets face it, there is nothing at this point that can make Melania look like an all american girl.
The first video is Lisandra Vazquez, a Porto Rican comedian.
The second video is Melania T. nee Knavs.
Get a grip.
Mr. Crane, would a decent human being post this at Christmastime?
Especially after what she has been caught saying about Christmas.
At least she doesnt say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", as far as we know. /s
Your detractor is peeved at being labelled a plagiarist and will come after anyone anytime for anything. Revenge uber alles!
He leaps before he looks.
To the chagrin of Eldreds far and wide he leaks before he looks and splatters one and all.
(I sense a ticket coming north!)
Maybe not. She managed to read Michelle Obama's speech at the RNC convention pretty well.
You mean the Michelle, who has 4 mansions and continues to whine about life as first lady?
meanwhile back at the MAGA ranch -
Your pictures appear to be of an ICE agent's staging area at Taco Bell with an elementary school on one side and a church on the other.....
DHS releasing faked photos? Where's Santa's gun laden elf Kristi?
