The First Nude's morale-boosting BeBest "Valentine's Day Message" to our troops didn't leave a dry seat in the house

At Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield on Friday, Melania addressed troops and their families, telling them she had a holiday greeting for service members around the globe.

“To our great armed forces of the United States stationed all over the world, I have a nostalgia-filled message: Happy Valentine’s Day,” she said.

The choice of “nostalgia”—a word that implies wistful longing for something lost—made the greeting sound less like a celebration of love and more like a tribute to a bygone era.

*****

“Love letters have symbolized the union of patriotism and family devotion among our soldiers for 250 years,” she said.

“The harmony of love of country and love of family is what makes us uniquely American.”

The administration she helps represent shows no signs of loving country or family. They’re lawless, soulless and have put children in camps….and that’s just some of it.
Quiet…..Melania.

Maybe she’ll threaten to take him to her new movie to get out of spending any time with the slob today.

She probably does admire Russian patriotism and loyalty to herself.
