Haters gotta hate

Until Donald Trump was elected president, first ladies and children of presidents were generally off-limits for criticism by the media. That was especially true most recently with Michelle Obama and the Obamas’ daughters.

However, all gloves appear to be off for first lady Melania Trump, Barron Trump, the couple’s 12-year-old son, and all of Trump’s grown children.

Recently, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel – whose ratings are the lowest among ABC, CBS and NBC late-night talkers – mocked the accent of the first lady, who is a native of Slovenia but speaks five languages.

He never apologized for such despicable behavior, and residents of the town, Sevinca, where she grew up are not amused.
