Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Yes, 100% yes.
This is the only theory that takes into account the absolutely insane ego's of privileged, elite, white women.
And I know what most of you are immediately thinking. You're thinking you've seen the type come through Starbucks acting all entitled; but that's not it. We're talking about a class of people who wouldn't be caught dead in a Starbucks, and no, they don't go to more upscale coffee shops either. Those, too, are for the "poors". We are talking about the class of people that get their coffee from the attendant at their private, gated, clubs. That is where they spend all their time. They live in a complete bubble, entirely separated from society. They don't get alternative news, they don't get news period.
I can guarantee the reason Melania made that statement wasn't because of some upcoming leak, or that she was worried about being named, or anything of the sort. It's because her fellow privileged friends in her circle started talking about her. Snide comments about where she came from. Imagine the most popular girl in school making a school announcement that she totally didn't sleep with Bobby Flemming and the only ones making such accusations are jealous whores, where it's clear the only ones she's really addressing is her own social circle that has been making comments about her. That's the level of vanity we are talking about. She doesn't give a shit what people are saying online, but now that her friends are starting to make comments, well now it's something worth addressing.
