The White House lies about Melania's hospital visit


The White House continues to play the game of 'fast and loose' with the truth, as they gave an 'alternate' report on First Lady Melania Trump's visit to a children's hospital yesterday morning, at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan


According to hospital sources who witnessed the event and recorded the First Lady's appearance, here is what she actually said to the children:

"We will read some books today. So do you know what is today? It's a reading day. So I came to encourage you to read — and to think about what you want to achieve in life...." (she read a Dr. Seuss book to the kids). "Do you like the book? I will leave it here. I encourage you all to read a lot. To get educated."

This sounds exactly like what Melania normally says, as we have seen in past public speeches and interviews.

HOWEVER.....

According to the White House press secretary, this is what Melania told the children at the hospital, and this was what was actually released as a press release about her visit:

' “Loving to read early in life has the power to make each one of you a lifelong learner. Dr. Seuss has brought so much joy, laughter and enchantment into children's lives all around the globe for generations. Through his captivating rhymes, Dr. Seuss has delighted and inspired children while teaching them to read, to dream, and to care. Education is a great equalizer and nothing can be more critical to achieving empowerment than reading and literacy," said Mrs. Trump.

The First Lady emphasized that as a Nation, we must instill in young readers a lifelong love of learning.'

LOL!

Of course, the 'official release' sounds more like something Michelle Obama would say, not Melania Trump. Why the Trump administration insists on lying about everything - even something like this - is incomprehensible.

The video of her reading was sooooooo cringeworthy. There's only a few children and they all look so sad. Melania doesn't read with the book open so they can see the illustrations. ANYONE who has ever read to a group of children knows how to share the book. She was clueless.

The choice of the book was odd. Yes, it's Dr. Seuss week, but reading about "the places you'll go" to children stuck in a hospital? Insensitive.

LOL, Doggie. There's NO way Melania said that. . .not unless she was reading one of Michelle Obama's old speeches.

OMG, I didn't even realize that - LOL!

Did the White House press team really think we would believe that Melania strung a sentence together such as "Loving to read early in life...." Not on her best day.
