Mrs. Trump

I found it interesting how the press compared Mrs. Trump with Mrs. Kennedy. It seems most of the conversation was about who made their clothes. These two women come from vastly different backgrounds. Mrs. Kennedy was born into a wealthy family. Her father was a successful Wall Street broker who had a large summer home in the Hamptons. She attended elite private schools and married President Kennedy at age 23 shortly after she left home. Mrs. Trump was born in communist Slovenia and her father managed a car dealership and her mother sewed patterns for children’s clothes. She went to public school including one year of college. She was a model and was offered employment in NY City and at the age of 35 she married Trump. She is founder and owner of a successful business and she speaks 6 languages. The superficial way in which the press tends to report on these women is somewhat disturbing for those who are interested in advancing the cause of equal rights for women.
