Our first lady, Melania Trump, seems to have twisted the famous lines of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech into “Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for your personal brand.”
Seeing the office of first lady being used to serve personal avarice and greed is fundamentally repugnant (Associated Press, “First lady sues again, saying rumors hurt her brand value,” Feb. 7, The Columbian). I can think of no other woman in history to so abuse the trust of America.
