Melania Trump’s Claims She Graduated From College Are About As Credible As Her Speech Last Night

[WAC]

Did you check under the name "Lyin' Melania"? 

If you folks would check Melania's history you will find she did attend the college at the same time her modeling took off......at 17 yrs. old......but she left the degree program to pursue her childhood dreams of modeling when she was noticed by a renowned fashion designer.....it was then she went to Milan...and thereafter to America.

1) The Wiki paragraph that says she dropped out after her first year sources from the following:

GQ Magazine: http://www.gq.com/story/melania-trump-gq-interview

Collins, Lauren (May 9, 2016). "The Model American". The New Yorker. Retrieved May 2, 2016. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/05/09/who-is-melania-trump

They are all lying now?

RE: There are at least a half dozen universities there and the one she got her degree from is not identified - Nothing about other universities.

OK, so tell me which University in Slovenia she graduated from. Isn't it strange that she did not at least identify THE NAME of the University?

The only one we know that she attended is  University of Ljubljana and she dropped out after her first year.

As you said the only one you know. There are several there and the one she has her degree from is not listed. Bottom line there is no evidence from any liberal source showing that she did not go to another university and get a degree. I expect this will be another Rope a Dope for the antis like Trump is well known for. Let the left stick its neck out attacking a woman who endangers the women vote foe Hillary and then lower the hammer.

Just like the Plagiarism one, all she said predates and is public use from political speeches long before the Obama's - it was likely done to help get the black vote as the black lady on ABC said this AM it was complimentary to Mrs Obama. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Besides the Obama's were not the authors of the words used so it could not be plagiarism.

But hey, when the antis choose to use far left wing pro Hillary sources for their arguments to attack Trumps its going to be painful for them.

In her bio here:

http://www.melaniatrump.com/my-world/

It says this :

"After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996"

We know that she did attend  the University of Ljubljana but dropped out after her first year.

So, if she dropped out, in what sense did she obtain her degree?

The only other explanation I am getting is that she could have obtained her degree from another university.

If so, what's the NAME of the University?

It is strange that she did not mention the school's name at all.

[WAC]

The only one we know that she attended is  University of Ljubljana and she dropped out after her first year.

Actually she dropped out after being discovered at 17 by a well known fashion king pin'while' she was attending college....It was a good move on her part..... I have a family member who is in the fashion Industry and was offered an apprenticeship at a top notch agency, she unfortunately turned down this offer, instead following a pipe dream her peers thought would be better. It never got off the ground.

[SirLinksALot]

Actually no, the opposite is true -- there is no evidence ( unless you can show me one ) that she obtained her degree in ANY University.

If she did, the name of the University would have been presented in her bio.

If as you said she obtained her degree in another university, please give us that name of the school.

Look, nobody is faulting her for dropping out and gaining work experience. I'd appreciate it better if she told us so.

 But please, don't tell us you obtained a degree when you did not.

[Wingnut]

Did you check under the name "Lyin' Melania"? 

All that my search turned up was "Flying Melinda's"  Evidently they preformed there at Slowevenia U once....but walked off stage after the 1st act?

[Mechanicos]

Actually no, the opposite is true -- there is no evidence ( unless you can show me one ) that she obtained her degree in ANY University.

Why are you trying to make this an issue this election? Its not an issue but for the left trying to make it an issue to distract. The Right is sticking to the issues in the GOP Platform. So again, why are you being so dogmatic on it when it has nothing to do with the issues of this election?

[SirLinksALot]

Why are you trying to make this an issue this election?

It is an issue because it's about HONESTY. You don't have to tell us about "distractions". we are all capable of NOT BEING distracted by the lies of  Both Hillary  or Trump if they apply.

You have been spending several responses on this thread telling us that she could have attended another university and could have obtained her degree there. OK, I'm giving you a chance to tell us which one.

Give us the name at least.

If the price of Freedom is vigilance, then we should not tolerate untruths from either Hillary OR Trump

[Silver Pines]

Sad.  And he must have known putting his wife out there that they would scour her personal life.  Touching on her family values (communist?). 

And the question is what is true coming from the Trump family?

@Chosen Daughter

Very little, I imagine. 

Has there been any defense by Trump of his wife?

[WAC]

She was Honorary Chairwoman for Martha Graham Dance Company in April 2005

An active member of the Police Athletic League which honored her with Woman of The Year 2006

Honorary Chairwoman for The Boy's Club of New York for five consecutive years.

In 2005 The American Red Cross awarded her with Goodwill Ambassador which she has proudly served for four years.

In April of 2008, she was asked by Love Our Children USA and NASDAQ to participate in the Fifth Annual National Love Our Children Day and the beginning of National Child Abuse Prevention month by ringing the closing bell at NASDAQ.

And as we know she runs her own successful business promoting her own fashion Jewelry and Cosmetic line...



While also being a mother and wife to her husband....

[SirLinksALot]

Then leave it at that and CUT the part about obtaining a degree from an un-named University. Your accomplishments WITHOUT the degree would have been sufficient.

It looks bad if you have to decorate your bio with an untruth.

[geronl]

Sure, she is a porn slut, but she is classy for a porn slut

blah blah blah

completely staged photographs obviously

the kids probably spend 99% of their time with the nannies

Wake up call, that ship sailed during the Primary. Assume the worst case here, the end result is the same -its either Trump or Hillary, this will not get you Cruz no matter how loud the table is pounded.

[Silver Pines]

So a white liar is a breath of fresh air compared to a black liar?

Lord help us.  America had a chance to right the wrongs of the O administration and we chose poorly.

@Rivergirl

Remember those prehistoric days when the Clintons were in office, when Republicans believed that morals mattered?

No one needs to try and tell me that a woman who posed for a lesbian soft porn shoot has "class", because the claim is ridiculous on its face.  I'm not cowering in such desperate terror of Hillary Clinton that I'll try to convince myself it's true.

[WAC]

Look, nobody is faulting her for dropping out and gaining work experience. I'd appreciate it better if she told us so.
 But please, don't tell us you obtained a degree when you did not.

Frankly it matters not one way or another to me as I suspect where she got her degree will soon be discovered......and if she didn't it's still not an issue for me....the only people it matters to are those searching for something to drag out and trample on....that regardless of what the woan has done they will always find something to drag into the mud....

I have my high school degree but it did not come for the high school I attended and very few are privy to that fact...and I furthermore went onto college which those in my hometown to date are not aware of.

[SirLinksALot]

The more you try to defend an untruth, the worse it becomes. You will keep bumping this thread on top for people to see how indefensible it is.

Let's assume that Trump wins the presidency, where does this tendency to fabricate leave us?

Are we to leave it at that and not take Trump (or Melania ) to task just because he occupies the White House?

This is not about Cruz or Trump. They BOTH have to be vetted and looked at and voters need to DEMAND integrity regardless of who their chosen candidate is.

So no, just because Hillary is worse does not mean that Trump gets to be overlooked. If it works that way for you, it certainly does not work that way for me or others.

And oh BTW, I'm still waiting for the name of the school ....

[SirLinksALot]

Frankly it matters not one way or another to me as I suspect where she got her degree will soon be discovered......and if she didn't it's still not an issue for me....the only people it matters to are those searching for something to drag out and trample on....that regardless of what the woan has done they will always find something to drag into the mud....

Her degree or non-degree is not important. Her TELLING US SHE HAS ONE when she does not have one is what I take issue with.

[geronl]

lying is not an issue, got it. lol

[montanajoe]

Really, none of this is her fault in my opinion, she is obviously trying to help her husband and just read a speech someone gave her, and I won't attack her personally. Unfortunately for her, Trump's campaign is being run by graduates of Trump University...

And someone gave her a university degree fir that??

[geronl]

And someone gave her a university degree fir that??

None of that required any work or anything.

[RedHead]

Why are you trying to make this an issue this election?

It probably shouldn't be.  The fact that yet another Trump could not pass up the chance to lie is hardly news.  I doubt anyone in the family knows fact from fiction.

[ScottinVA]

No wonder Melania has been trying to stay as far in the background as she can.  Her background is like Gump's box o' chocolates... you never know what's coming next.
