'High-fashion fiction': fawning Trump adviser shredded for praising First Lady

First Lady Melania Trump's close adviser Marc Beckman was ripped online Thursday after praising her work during a live broadcast.

Beckman, a longtime loyal aide to the first lady, spoke with Real America's Voice on Rumble about how her self-titled film and book "Melania" has fueled her energy to focus on children.

"This is the most active, the most productive, the most direct vision for a First Lady I think in the history of America," Beckman said.

Critics online didn't agree.

"Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, Dolly Madison [SIC], Rosalynn Carter and so many others worked tirelessly to do great things for people," Ron Filipkowski, MeidasTouch editor and attorney, wrote on X. "Melania shows up once a month and badly reads a speech someone wrote for her before returning to pampered luxury."

X user Bucky, who self-describes as a "fierce defender of democracy" and has more than 3,500 followers, shared on X some snark directed at Beckman and the First Lady.

"Oh, darling, the absolute bravado of a Madison Avenue rebrand," wrote Bucky. "It is simply magnificent. To watch Marc Beckman breeze onto the airwaves and declare Melania to be the most industrious First Lady since the dawn of the republic is high-fashion fiction at its absolute finest."

"Marc Beckman is not Melania Trump’s 'senior advisor,' he is Melania’s 'PR Propaganda Pusher,'" political commentator Barry Phillips, a retired attorney and CPA, wrote on X.

"Marc Beckman must be really profiting from his position as senior adviser to Melania Trump. What does he advise her on, shoes? She is the WORST First Lady we have ever had and the nude photos don't dignify her. He should be ashamed of himself for lying so dastardly," progressive political commentator Josephine Imperato, who has more than 25,000 followers, wrote on Bluesky.
