To be sure, T.I. is no Kanye West. He's not as good as a rapper though I haven't paid attention to anything Kanye has done musically since Graduation. T.I. and Kanye were boys not too long ago, but unhappily West publicly deep French kissing Trump's ass was so disturbing and disgusting it caused the two to fall out. Which is how Melania got dragged by T.I. in a pretty tacky way for which he has been roundly and deservedly raked over the coals for the ugly sexism and open attack on the First Lady. But let's not go overboard with the hand-wringing and brickbat tossing at a second-rate rapper demonstrating how women are merely props to be used and forgotten. Melania knows all about that sort of thing. After all, she's married to a dude who does the exact same thing.
Recently, Melania whined that she was the most bullied person on the planet. Hardly. What she is though is an active and willing participant in her husband's ugly and racist Birther campaign against President Obama and just turned aside the #MeToo movement with her dismissive remark, “I support the women, and they need to be heard. We need to support them, and you know, also men, not just women.”
“I do stand with women, but we need to show the evidence. You cannot just say to somebody, ‘I was sexually assaulted,’ or, ‘You did that to me,’ because sometimes the media goes too far. The way they portray some stories, it’s not correct. It’s not right.”Melania is not a victim. Nor is she a secret member of The Resistance. She's not the most bullied person in the world. She is not a feminist struggling to break free of the paternalistic shackles which imprison her. She's just a nice little Republican Stepford Wife who goes along to get along and gets well compensated to do so. Melania didn't deserve to be mocked the way T.I. did it, but then if she wasn't complicit and cooperating with a troll who is 100 times worse, maybe all this misery wouldn't be coming her way. Being a douchenozzle isn't limited to a gender or race. It can even include The First Lady of the United States.
