Katie Miller, the outspoken conservative podcaster married to Trump adviser Stephen Miller—set off a wave of online mockery after making a glaring error while trying to defend Melania Trump’s command of English.
It started when Miller jumped into a debate about immigrants and language skills. She attempted to paint Melania as the “model” immigrant while attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar. But her argument fell apart instantly when she sent out a post praising “Melanie Trump.”
The replies came fast.
Dozens of users flooded the thread asking, “You’re doing comedy now?”
Melania Trump has devoted her life to serving her country?

Others simply laughed, pointing out that misspelling the first lady’s name was an odd way to prove she speaks better English.
Ilhan Omar speaks MUCH better English than Melania.
Just sayin

The blunder came as Miller was responding to a post noting that Omar, a former refugee who arrived in the U.S. as a child, speaks more fluent English than Melania. Instead of backing away, Miller doubled down—sparking even more ridicule.
Her mistake landed in the middle of President Trump’s renewed attacks on Omar. Earlier this month, the president launched into another tirade about Somali immigrants in Minnesota, calling Omar “terrible” and “incompetent.” Omar fired back, saying his fixation on her was “beyond weird” and calling him a “national embarrassment.”
The irony wasn’t lost on critics. Trump has a long history of targeting immigrants, despite having children with two immigrant wives—Ivana and Melania—both from Eastern Europe.
Melania, who arrived in the U.S. in 1996 as a model, has kept a lower profile since returning to the White House. She has appeared mainly for ceremonial duties and the odd policy attachment, such as supporting a bill against deepfake porn or promoting her “Presidential AI Challenge.”
Even Trump admitted at a recent White House ball that he doesn’t actually know what initiatives she’s working on.
Much of Melania’s time now appears focused on personal business ventures, including promoting a meme coin and helping develop a $40 million biographical documentary backed by Amazon MGM Studios.
