Lol what a 3 page memoir? Born, pretty, modeling, meets rich old man, marries him and rich forever. What a life
You forgot something. She paid someone to ghostwrite a memoir for her.
You are missing her major in sociology from Princeton, her degree from Harvard law school, her time as the assistant to the mayor of Chicago and her role as associate dean of student services at the University of Chicago.
What?
He’s kidding, wikipedia says she has a few months towards an architecture degree
Well she did get a "genius visa" or whatever it's called, so she's obviously brilliant.
/s not needed hopefully.
Just to lay it all out, because I was thinking about this earlier... About how far we've fallen (even including Clinton's BJ, and JFK's dalliances) with regards to what we are collectively willing to accept as character traits in our leaders. These are people that are supposed to be role models for our kids. Literal, unrepentant racists. Literal, unrepentant rapists.
The former (and possibly future) First Lady is a mail order bride/sex worker that a rich, gross old man (the President, btw) basically bought for all intents and purposes, by providing the means for her to fraudulently come to, and stay in, the US... Why should we give a shit what she has to say (unless it's on a witness stand)?
No judgement for the sex work specifically (though the Republican hypocrisy is on full display as always). Her trashiness is independent of her past sex work.
Always best to add the /s, just in case.
As long as people don't think the part about the visa was sarcasm, because that's definitely real.
