An Angry-Looking Melania Trump Heckled as She Leaves Trump Tower in NYC

Oh, how I love seeing this!!! You reap what you sow people. Never forget it.

Former First Lady Melania Trump was snapped looking quite uncomfortable and angry as she was heckled while leaving Trump Tower in Manhattan on Saturday.

Melania was photographed leaving her husband’s Fifth Avenue building as she headed back to their Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, where the Trump family spends their summers…as the humidity in Palm Beach is just too much for the billionaire (maybe?) family.

Although famously attached to his home city of New York, Donald Trump, Melania, and the family’s children now stay far away from liberal NYC nowadays, in favor of more socially-conservative Florida.

Melania could be seen in a maroon and white striped button-down dress and brown sunglasses as she got into her waiting Secret Service vehicle. I’m sure her outfit could pay my rent for a few months but ugh, I digress.

Tourists stopped to gawk as they saw the activity outside Trump Tower and quite a few heckled and booed the woman who made “I Really Don’t Care, Do U” a household saying.

Melania, who has kept a very low profile since her husband left office in January 2021, appeared to look tense as she got into one of the waiting SUVs. Some people yelled abusive comments toward her as she walked past the crowd to get into her car.

Melania has maintained a relatively low profile in recent months, taking a step back from the spotlight since her husband’s presidency came to an end last year. She has given just one interview, to the very safe Fox News. But honestly, she really was never that involved as first lady, especially when you compare her to both Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, who were/are both very active first ladies.

She’s only been seen at events a handful of times, while her husband has continued to make regular appearances as he continues to hold rally’s across the country, in his neverending desire for adulation and applause.

Melania came under scrutiny earlier this week after her former Chief of Staff Stephanie Grisham shared a screenshot of a text exchange between the two of them to Twitter, which showed Melania declining to speak out against the violence which took place at the Capitol on January 6, after supporters of her husband broke into the government building.

“Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?” Stephanie asked Melania in the texts, to which the first lady allegedly replied, “No.”
