5 of the most unbelievably tone deaf lines from Melania Trump's convention speech

Melania Trump's Republican National Convention speech might have been touching... if we lived in a completely different world.

From praising her husband's efforts fighting the coronavirus pandemic, to claiming his presidency particularly appeals to women, Trump's speech clearly needed a reality check.

Here's 5 of the most tone deaf and totally out of touch moments.

1. Trump "will not rest" until he's taken care of everyone impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

My husband's administration will not stop fighting until there is an effective treatment or vaccine available to everyone.

Donald will not rest until he has done all he can to take care of everyone impacted by this terrible pandemic.

Does recommending people inject bleach count as "taking care of everyone"? Because last time we checked, the US still has the greatest death toll from coronavirus in the world.

2. Voting for Trump means women's voices will be heard.

I reflected on the impact of women's voices in our nation's story, and how proud I would be to cast my vote again for Donald this November. We must make sure that women are heard and that the American dream continues to thrive.

We're sure women felt really heard when Trump accused #MeToo accusers of seeking money and fame, or when he described the assault accusations against Brett Kavanugh as a "big fat con job".

3. It's a "privilege" to live in the United States as an immigrant.

As an immigrant and a very independent woman, I understand what a privilege it is to live here and to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that we have.

Becoming a US citizen might have worked out pretty well for Slovenian-born Melania Trump.

But what of the immigrants separated from their families by Trump's "big beautiful" border wall? What of the children kept in cages by Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

Where are their "freedoms and opportunities"?

4. Tackling racism should be approached in a "civil manner".

Like all of you, I have reflected on the racial unrest in our country. 

[...] I'd like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives. I urge people to come together in a civil manner, so we can work and live up to our standard American ideals. 

Does tear gassing peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters for a photo op count as being "civil"?

5. Social media can be "mean and manipulative".

This modern world is moving so fast, and our children face challenges that seem to change every few months.

Just like me, I know many of you watch how mean and manipulative social media can be. And just like me I'm sure many of you are looking for answers, how to talk to your children about the downside of technology and their relationships with their peers.

Assumedly Trump has never scrolled down her husband's Twitter feed.

If she did, she might discover that they've been forced to flag some of his tweets as "glorifying violence".

But yes, it's social media that's mean and manipulative.

None of Trump's remarks would be terribly controversial if they stood alone.

But the context of her husband's presidency means that they sound completely disingenuous and detached from reality.
