Dr. Katherine Jellison, Professor and Chair of History at Ohio University, is quoted extensively in a New Zealand NOTED story headlined “Melania Trump: The reluctant First Lady.”

“A hallmark of her experience as a candidate’s wife and First Lady so far has been one public humiliation after another,” Ohio University history professor Katherine Jellison told the Listener.

Because of those humiliations, Jellison thinks the public mood towards Trump is generally sympathetic.

“She gets big points from the press and public every time she shows up and things go right. People like the way she’s dressed, or when she shows up with a sense of decorum as she did at Barbara Bush’s funeral.”
