Melania Trumps approval rating fell to 36 percent as critics cited her limited public role.

By multiple measures, Melania Trumps public standing continues to plummet. According to YouGov polling, her popularity stands at just 36 percent, with more Americans voicing their dislike for her than showing support 43 percent disapproved while only 18 percent described their views as neutral.
Melania Trumps approval rating fell to 36 percent, according to polling data.
This figure reflects a significant decline compared to recent first ladies and even from Trumps own standing when she departed the White House in 2021.
At that time, her approval already hovered around 42 percent, marking one of the lowest recorded for a first lady, as reported by The Print. By the end of 2025, that positive impression had further diminished.

(7,652 posts)Compared to the wives of Presidents Biden and Obama, she rates a -5 out of 10.
Michelle Obama is still around, as bubbly and positive as ever.

FakeNoose
(40,192 posts)It's not in her nature or her background to be a bubbly out-reaching First Lady like Michelle Obama. So perhaps we're being a little unfair to judge her against the recent First Ladies of Democratic Presidents.
It seems obvious that neither Chump nor his wife want to be married, but they don't want a divorce either. She only shows up at the White House when she is contractually obligated to be there. She knows she's stuck married to the biggest a-hole in the world but she also knows she'll outlive him. All she has to do is wait ...
When she married the Fascist Felon, she probably expected to do lunch & go shopping for the rest of her life, not be First Lady with all the responsibility & fanfare that involves. My guess is that she told him she wasn't doing any of it the second time around.
I've heard it's hard for wealthy people to divorce; lots of money & property to divvy up. No doubt there was a prenup, though, & if she doesn't honor it, she gets nothing.
FakeNoose
(40,192 posts)Her money is in the bank ... so to speak. I don't know if he's providing anything for her in his will, because she negotiated the revised pre-nup before he ran for Potus the 2nd time.
If Chump goes bankrupt and loses his money it will affect the inheritances of the older kiddies, but Barron's inheritance is already in trust for him. That's why she couldn't care less about any of this. She's done with the White House and politics. The press is horrible to her so she ignores them too. I don't like anything about her, but I can see her point.

(701 posts)It reminds me of the wives of male preachers. They have a lot of unpaid labor to do, and it is kind of rare for them not to do it. I've only known one minister's wife who had a career and she did both jobs - preacher's wife and professional career.
Also makes me wonder what a Second Gentleman does for no pay. If we ever had a First Gentleman, what would he do for no pay?
It begs the question about whether this unpaid labor is interesting and fun. I bet it is usually not. Also, what if the person who was not elected to that position do if they had no experience or aptitude for it?
It is strange to me (and maybe only to me) that any woman would hitch her coattails to a politician and then not pursue her own career while he is in office.
One more point, if a young woman accept a proposal of marriage from a man who says he will run for president, she has not agreed to becoming first lady in that eventuality. Lots of people wish they were president, few make it so.
I think Melania agrees with and supports whatever the disgusting husband of hers says and does. She may be even more egregious in her views.

(24,575 posts)passion for what she is doing as 'first lady'. Every so-called program she starts just seems to be a way to get people off her back because she's not doing anything. When they call her "the classiest first lady in history" I want to vomit. Any time someone has said that in my presence, I have responded "Only first lady in history you can find naked pictures of on the internet."

(3,357 posts)She entered the US illegally on a "genius visa" then she overstayed the visa. She worked as an "escort" in NY. Trump found her while married to his second wife. He flaunted his affair with Melania by flying her around in his airplane and his helicopter and showing her around NYC.
Her naked photos are all over the 'net. She came to the US to marry a rich man and for no other reason.
She's trash. But, then, the rest of the Trump family is trash, so, what should we expect.

(129,102 posts)for his money and didn't at least divorce him when she found out he'd rawdogged a porn actress? Maybe because she resembles the cursed offspring of a plastic sex doll and a stick insect? Or because she exhibits all the personal warmth and compassion of a Soviet Union prison matron? Because she obviously resents having to take time from her busy schedule of manicures, kidney enhancements and entertaining Mierda-Lardo pool boys to appear at public events with her decaying husband? Other than that, she's the very epitome of a classy First Lady. Eat your heart out, Jackie O!
