CNN has moved on a bit from bashing Donald Trump today to bashing First Lady Melania Trump and even Ivanka. You see, according to CNN, the only reason why the Saudi’s praised Melania Trump as classy and conservative is because she looks pretty in pictures or somethings. This is an actually quote from the hacks at CNN:
| CNN: Saudis only likes Melania because she is pretty in pictures |

All of that should come as no surprise, given whom Melania is married to. After all, how the Saudi government likes women to behave is similar to how Donald Trump has said he likes women to behave. And they both prefer women to look pretty in pictures, rather than hold actual positions of power.
Melania’s husband and the Saudi government also both know and understand the power and value of a good photo opportunity. In fact, fantastic photo opportunities are something the kingdom values and is hypersensitive about, especially ones that are going to be seen around the world.
For them, Melania Trump was perfectly poised in her black Stella McCartney jumpsuit and gilded gold belt. Melania projected a glamorous image for a country where women live under male guardianship, cannot drive, still do not have the full vote, and cannot travel or seek medical attention without male permission.
The hack writer (a Muslim) is right about Saudi Arabia not allowing women to drive, etc. But the Muslim writer doesn’t mention that the reason why women can’t driver, or vote is because of Islamic Sharia Law. It’s hardly only in Saudi Arabia where women are looked upon as second class citizens. Look around at other Muslim countries that are under Sharia Law. Pakistan ring a bell? How about Afghanistan? Or IraN?
The point he CNN hack writer was trying to make wasn’t raising concerns about how women are treated in Saudi Arabia and other Sharia Law countries. It should just another dig at First Lady Melania Trump because she is everything the previous First “Lady” wasn’t.
