ABC News covers Melania

I saw a photograph of Melania and Trump being interviewed by Barbara Walters and I go, "What?"

Please explain to me why the Trumps would bother sitting for an interview with reporters that they already characterize as fake news, hostile to Trump administration and family.

I got 25 seconds into this video and realized it will be exactly as bad as I had imagined.

White House public relations should know better than this. Maybe they don't.

Right now Trump is stumping in Richmond Kentucky. He will point to the array of network cameras and say, "Look at all that. It's like the Academy Awards in here. Fake news. Fake news. That I can tell you." Then he'll give an example of how they will take something he says and distort it to something ridiculous that he doesn't say, that by pretending to misunderstand him they can ridicule, as they do.

Twenty seconds will tell you they dead set on doing the same thing with Melania.

Most Americans feel they don't know her. 

F.U. they know she's not this:

It's AF1 for Christ's sake, not Jet Blue economy. 

They know Melania was proud to be American before her husband was elected president. 

They know her senior thesis was not on racial division. 

And they know she hasn't taken over the nation's school lunches replacing with open face crap sandwiches, nor interfered with school vending machines. 

They know she hasn't inserted herself into all of their favorite television shows, the places they go to avoid politics, like the Food Network.

They know she doesn't roll her eyes at the Speaker of the House.

They know she doesn't glare at her husband for behaving poorly taking selfies at funerals of global VIPs. And they're confident Melania will not paw at the Queen of England. Nor will she use the East room for a potato sack race with comedians. 

And they know she'll never say anything like, "All this for a damned flag."
