Some are lame; some are a bit ribald; but some made me chuckle.

Donald Trump and Barack Obama ended up at the same barber shop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were both afraid to start a conversation, for fear that it would turn nasty. As the barbers finished their shaves in silence, the one who had Trump in his chair reached for the aftershave. But Donald was quick to stop him, jokingly saying, "No thanks. My wife, Melania, will smell that and think I've been in a brothel." The second barber turned to Barack and said, "How about you, Mr. Obama?" Barack replied, "Go right ahead, my wife, Michelle, doesn't know what the inside of a brothel smells like."

good one.

 Trashy.  Melania did not sign up for all this crap and she is not part of the problem.

"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"

I didn't come across one joke that wasn't generic shtick.  You could substitute anyone's name for Trump in any of the jokes and it plays the same.

 Seems to me like she started “dating” a much older much wealthier and powerful man before he was through with his second wife”. She is a volunteer not a victim. And I think that the terms “gold digger” and “trophy wife” seem kind for her.

There is no upside and no benefit to attacking Melania Trump.

 An attack nonetheless.  Some jokes can be funny without having an edge.  Other jokes have a sharp edge.

I am more than capable of saying nasty things about people.  

My only point is that comments about Melania are a bit like collateral damage in drone strikes - it is not helpful to the side launching the drone strikes.

my only objection is that the joke isn't very funny.  Funny makes up for a lot.

 Yes she did and yes she is.  And you really should not use her first name, refer to her by her title:  First Trophy.

 not again.

Here's good old Melania's defense of her husband's birther claims. About halfway through.
