Stop Pretending Right Wing Women are Victims
At PiN, we spread truth together. Share this post — together, we fight the lies.
While children are being dehumanized and ripped from their families here in the U.S., Melania Trump sent a personal letter to Vladimir Putin, hand-delivered by her hubby at the Alaska summit, calling for the protection of Ukrainian children. The press fawned over her “humanitarian gesture,” but c’mon. This is propaganda. Melania isn’t some helpless wife trapped by her husband’s extremism. She is actively complicit, standing beside him as his regime enacts fascist policies at home.
People are also framing Usha Vance, J.D. Vance’s wife, as a victim—a brilliant woman who married “the wrong man.” That narrative is insulting and dangerous. These women are not powerless bystanders. They married fascists because they share their values, and they use their privilege to normalize extremism.
Meanwhile, real families are being terrorized by Trump’s government—immigrants targeted by masked ICE raids, children ripped from their parents, democracy itself under siege. There is no Melania or Usha who will save us. They don’t need our sympathy; they need to be removed from power.
To be clear: Melania Trump is a terrible person who doesn’t care about anyone but herself. And Usha Vance is not a victim. She is a highly educated, capable attorney who has chosen to stand by and enable a fascist.

Stop romanticizing powerful women in fascist circles. They aren’t passive; they are part of the machine. We cannot waste energy debating whether these women are “secretly good.” Their actions tell us exactly who they are.
📣 Action:
This “sympathetic wife” narrative is a propaganda trap. It humanizes authoritarians and softens the public’s perception of extremist policies.
Ignore the body language analysis and “trapped woman” commentary. Focus on the movement they enable. Share this to shift attention back to the real threat: the policies and power grabs destroying democracy.

This is an excellent article, acting like these women are victims and then calling the woman that proved in court trump assaulted her a liar. I would love to see an article about the women that wear sweatshirts saying “trump can grab my (arrow pointing down), I am curious about what level of self loathing you would have to wear that.
The audacity of these women pretending to care about American children all the while there husband's are cutting funds to feed, educate and nurture our own. The cruelty amoungst them is overwhelming . Remember the infamous jacket Melania wore regarding migrant children "I really don't care , do you? Usha Vance stands by J.D Vance stands by her husbands bigotry
