An article on Melania Trump in GQ magazine is a "condescending," profile which suggests she is little more than a trophy wife, Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz says.

"It only takes until the second paragraph … for the condescending tone to break through. The Donald's wife, at their wedding, wore a '$100,000 Dior dress that laborers' hands had toiled upon for a legendary 550 hours, affixing 1,500 crystals,''' Kurtz writes in a column at FoxNews.com.

"Message: She's a wealthy trophy wife who shies away from politics and doesn't have much to say. A good mom, but not much more."

Kurtz says author Julia Ioffe "even suggests that the former model had a boob job, which Melania denies."

"He adds: "I've had a couple of short conversations with Melania Trump and she seems like a savvy, classy lady with no desire to bask in the spotlight."
