In the eyes of foreign media, the verbal behavior of the first lady of the United States seems to be "suppressing" Trump, but in fact it is helping White House maintain the image

Generally speaking, the first lady of the United States Melania Trump is a pleasant person to the outside world. She seems to enjoy staying at home with her youngest son Barron than being in the spotlight.
However, she married Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, who is called the spotlight by the American media. In fact, in most public occasions, Melania always maintains a good manner and acts in the right way.
But at some point, she chose not to do that.
In the eyes of some liberals and media, she is secretly claiming that she is a liberal fighter, tirelessly, from the inside out to destroy the evil order. She uses a weapon that has lasted for centuries: being an undercover agent.
For example, when Trump was in a row with NBA superstar LeBron James last week, Melania said a meaningful thing through her spokesperson, which seemed to be supporting James.
In the eyes of many foreign media, if Melania's move is against Trump and "being an undercover agent", then what signal does she want to convey to her husband?
Earlier last week, NBA superstar James said in an interview with CNN reporters that "Trump uses sports to split the United States" and also said that he will never sit with Trump.
In the face of James' criticism, Trump chose to call him back for the first time. He mocked James for not being a smart person, and said in a provocative way that he liked Michael Jordan more.
Trump satirized James as not a smart person
"LeBron James was interviewed by Don Lemon, the stupidest man on TV. He made James look smart, which is really not an easy task. I like Jordan!" Trump wrote on Twitter .
On the afternoon of the same day, First Lady Melania issued a statement through her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham, saying, "It looks like LeBron James is doing good for our next generation, just as Melania has always done, and the First Lady encourages everyone to have a public conversation about the issues facing children today." A spokesperson for
also added, "Melania will be happy to visit the I Promise School in Akron, Ohio, James' hometown."
This seems to once again confirm that Melania and her husband have a very different style and way of dealing with public issues.
"Melania squirted about her husband," Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty wrote in a May column, suggesting that the first lady was openly opposed to "bullying."
Not only that, " New York Times " reporter Maureen Dowd once described Melania as a "hairless cat from Slovenia". She is never as good as her husband in terms of squirting people, but occasionally there are her own shining moments.
In addition, in the media's view, as a former model, Melania's most skilled weapon is her wardrobe, and her dressing is more subtly interpreted as a resistance to Trump.
Melania was wearing a windbreaker with the words "I really don't care, what about you"
In June this year, Melania was photographed wearing a windbreaker with the words "I really don't care, what about you" when she boarded the plane to visit the immigrant children to Texas border city McAllen. The $39 Zara brand windbreaker immediately sparked heated discussions on social media, and was interpreted by some as a protest against Trump, although some people thought it was a mistake to dress.
The white pants she matched were also pointed out to be the same as those worn by Hillary Clinton on the night of the 2016 presidential election.
In addition, the white trousers suit and shiny white top she wore when she attended Trump's first State of the Union speech was also considered to be the iconic image of Hillary in the election, and later it was widely regarded as a symbol of clothing for female political supporters and contemporary female power supporters, and it has also become somewhat of a "anti-Trump" uniform.
"Melania's white suit is almost equivalent to a subtle slap Trump in the face", the New York Times reported so at the time.
A month ago, Melania wore a simple dress when she accompanied Trump to attend the NATO summit. It was called by W magazine, "No matter what you think the reason for her wearing this way is, it is not to be argued that this further proves that Melania finally found a hobby for herself, that is, to be undercover and criticize Trump."

So, is Melania's real intention to do these actions to sing a counter-tone with Trump?
is not entirely true in the opinion of the media represented by the British " Guardian ".
The Guardian said that although Melania's actions seem to be "suppressing" Trump, it is also possible that the purpose of what she said and did is not to "spray" Trump, but to try to cool down Trump's exaggerated words. The explanation of
seems to make sense. A June poll showed Melania's popularity rate reached three times that of Trump.
Some foreign media believe that if she really wants to "counter" Trump, she should divorce Trump as some people suggest, without having to speak out publicly and ambiguously. The purpose of her doing so is nothing more than helping the White House protect the image lost by Trump. She herself is not an "undercover" but a tester.
