Mrs Trump asks just one question – it’s a good one. Will she receive an answer she can believe and trust? that’s a different question. I hope so, and the rest of us too.

Quite a snide little crack at Mrs Trump. Unherd is beginning to stink a little.
I thought so too. A wife is perfectly entitled to ask why someone who tried to kill her husband wasn’t apprehended in advance given law enforcement were apparently aware of the threat.

While Mrs Trump has moved on from the early days and cries of SUYT, I doubt that any serious commentators take her conspiracy theories on the Donald’s slack security detail seriously.
Yeah, the behavior of the secret service leadership was transparent, competent and honest. Not.

The reaction of self-declared enlightened intellectuals like the author of this column demonstrate they are neither very enlightened nor very intellectual. Melania has been one of the lowest profile 1st Ladies in many years and has been vilified at a dismissive depersoning level not seen before by allegedly mainstream types.
She wasn’t low profile, she was invisible. She had no cause like literacy, drugs or helping military families. Historians have ranked dead last as a First Lady.

I’ve appreciated UnHerd’s balance between the Right and the wrong, the common-sense and the nutters. But there’s a shift going on, and it’s beginning to feel a little NYT-zy.

Why are very reasonable questions by Melanie Trump being sneered at? I don’t get it. Is she supposed to just be quiet? Why?
