If Trump is so brilliant, why must he find a wife that can barely speak English. He obviously cannot speak a word of her native tongue?



Chelsea Handler has said she is not interested in interviewing Melania Trump because she thinks the First Lady can “barely speak English”.

The outspoken comedian, who was a Hillary Clinton supporter, insisted she would never have Donald Trump or his wife on her Netflix show Chelsea. She said she has zero respect for either of them.

Handler made her views about the President clear, saying he was “the grossest” and she would tell him to “f*ck off” if he was in the room.

When asked about whether she would have the First Lady on her show in a video interview with Variety, she said: “Melania? To talk about what? She can barely speak English!”

Of course Handler is a comedian so she might be joking. For the record, Ms Trump is multilingual and can speak English, Slovenian, French, Italian, and German.

This is by no means the first time Handler has taken aim at the First Lady. She poked fun at her accent several times during the presidential campaign.

“Trump said Melania will give two or three more speeches… Hopefully an interpreter will be present,” she quipped in October.

“Sounds like he learned how to say China from Melania. #debate,” she also joked.

Tim Kaine delivered a speech entirely in Spanish. Still easier to understand than Melania.p

When pressed about what she thought about the First Lady in the Variety interview, she snapped back: “Exactly what I think about him as the First Man - nothing. I don’t respect either one of those people.”

“Gross. He is the grossest," she said of Mr Trump. "Physically, emotionally, mentally. Those statues they made of him were accurate. I bet you that is what he looks like naked with a little grape in between his legs.”

Handler said racism was the single issue which most concerned her under a Trump administration and planned parenthood was one of the issues which most worried her as a woman.

“No one has any right to tell us what to do with our bodies. Get off your religious bullshit soap box. I am my own person, no man gets to tell me what to do with my body, no-one, not your husband, not your politician.”

Handler explained she was going to register as an independent because she does not think the two-party system is working.

A representative for Chandler did not immediately respond to request for comment.

    Not many sane women who are incompetent to be there get to be either.  First time for a lot of things.

    If this election were not so compromised, that slut would have been a chief reason for his quick demise.  Remember the popular vote?

    She copied Michelle Obama's speech for chrissake.

    Why are you still going on about the popular vote 14 months after the fact? For the 1,562nd time, THE POPULAR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER. THE OUTCOME OF A US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS DETERMINED BY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE! You're so delusional that you desperately grab onto anything to convince yourself that Trump wasn't elected fair and square and somehow is not legitimately the POTUS. Lots of folks don't like the guy, but that doesn't change the facts. Don't you have anything else to do but obsess about this, like a life and a job?

    I disagree about Melania's suffering but tis easy to guess why Trump has no need to speak to women of Melania's ilk considering what he intends to do with them. I do not disagree with your judgment of his character but go only so far with judgment of America while living in a country with sins ongoing and uncorrected.

    And why are you so concerned down in Australia? You don't live, work, or vote in the US, so you really don't have a voice here.

    When the "leader of the free world" edges closer to the brink of planetary catastrophe by using inflammatory rhetoric against a madman (engaging in a pointless d!ck-measuring contest), it worries me. He's basic personality profile is that of a sociopath suffering from almost crippling insecurity (not me, that's from a psychologist - https://prospect.org/article/americans-agree-trump-liar-do-they-realize-he-also-sociopath ). He stepped into a job he knows absolutely nothing about, and thinks he can learn how by watching television.

    Do you have something against immigrants or accents?

    Probably not, although it is certain Trump is the one who has something against immigrants.

    Don't worry, Melania.   Oprah is gunning for you.

    In 2020.   Move over and let a real leader lead.

    Yes, she's a tv star and not a politician, but she knows way more than Bush or Trump ever did. 

    W?  He was drunk.   Trump?  He is just plain idiot.

    Oprah doesn't have a chance. She would just be a liberal version of Trump.

    She was not illegal. She may have worked before she had a greencard but that does not mean she was not legally in the country. 
    It is possible for an immigrant to legally work whille their greencard is pending provided they filed a Form I-765.  Your article does not say they had access to her visa or if they knew for certain Ms. Knauss did not file the form I-765...so they are simply spreading unproven accusations. (Or one might say Fake News)
    She recieved her B1 visa Aug 1996 and her H1B in Oct 1996 so it the H1B had to be pending (only 2 months between) so the only question is did she file the additional form.
