Melania Trump could escape protesters in Boston as health care professionals greeted her with signs protesting her husband’s treatment of migrant kids.

Unlike her husband, she didn’t get booed while trying to visit the cuddle program for babies born on drugs. It is difficult to remember a first lady who has drawn as much contempt from the nation as Melania Trump. Mrs. Trump has largely been an absentee first lady. She doesn’t seem interested in being first lady and puts about as much effort into it as Trump does the presidency.
Melania Trump is not a popular first lady, and if Republicans are counting on her to humanize her in legal document only husband, they are in for a very difficult election campaign, because Melania Trump isn’t popular either.
