To the editor:
Robin Abcarian's Feb. 20 column, "How much more humiliation can Melania Trump take?" evokes the legendary tale of the boy who's persuaded by a snake to carry it across the river.
The snake promises not to bite the boy, but halfway across, the boy is bitten. When he cries out to the snake, "But you promised not to bite me!" the snake replies, "But you knew what I was when you picked me up."
First Lady Melania Trump must have been aware of Donald Trump's past and should have known long ago what her marriage would be like.
