The primary question in all matters concerning Melania Trump is " What is she thinking?" The First Lady is an endless font of utterly puzzling behavior. So it's fitting that at the premiere of her film on Thursday night she stood before the audience and declared, basically, "Ceci n'est pas une documentary." "Some have called this a documentary. It is not," she said.
Public displays of fitness by American politicians are nothing new. Presidents George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Ulysses S. Grant, among others, were all depicted riding warhorses as symbols of "leadership and executive ability."[3] America's twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt, was renowned for his love of fisticuffs. He often asked professional boxers to strike him in the jaw, and then he would hit them back.[4]
Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter and the publisher of the beloved children's character Franklin the Turtle are disavowing the Trump administration's use of their music and imagery to support its agenda. Responding to the use of her song "Juno" in a video montage depicting ICE raids, Carpenter tweeted Tuesday: "this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."
