In a recent Fox News interview, Melania Trump called husband Donald Trump a “family man.”

Let’s all laugh together at that one!

Here’s the context: Melania was asked what she wishes people knew about Donald when they say they don’t like him. She responded, “That he’s really a family man. He loves his family.”

Now, I must give credit where credit’s due. I’m very impressed that Melania could say this with a straight face.

As a reminder, he cheated on Ivana Trump (his first wife and the mother of his three kids) with model Marla Maples, who would go on to become the mother of Donald’s fourth child and his second wife. After they split, he married Melania, who gave Donald his fifth child.

While married to Melania, Donald has faced countless scandals UNBECOMING OF A FAMILY MAN. To name a few: Earlier this year, he was found guilty of 34 felonies during a hush money trial with a porn star. In another trial this year, he was found liable of sexual abuse. And who could forget the infamous Access Hollywood tape?

Obviously, the internet had a lot of thoughts about this “family man” claim! Many pointed out Trump’s alleged involvement with Stormy Daniels, who said they had sex in July 2006 (four months after Barron Trump was born):

Some assumed that Melania must’ve been encouraged to say this, with one Reddit user writing, “How much did Trump have to pay her for this interview? Her standard appearance fee?” Another said, “She must’ve gotten a hefty pay day for this bullshit.”
