I wonder how long Melania will be able to tolerate the public humiliation of this porn star thing. It's one thing to know you're married to a cheater and to look the other way. It's another to know that EVERYONE knows.

Or she could continue to live in denial. Time will tell.

Dear America: Come on, you can’t be serious.

The ongoing saga over a president, a porn star and a payoff is so lewd and tawdry that it can’t simply be added to the ever-expanding list of horrible misbehaviors of a womanizing misogynist.

It’s not even the infidelity that most bothers me. I view that as an issue between spouses and with the other person involved. I contend that we on the outside never really know what understandings may exist in a marriage, unless the two parties within reveal it.

In this case, Melania knew exactly the kind of man she was getting.

When Donald first meets Melania, they are at a New York Fashion Week party to which Donald has been invited by the wealthy Italian businessman who brought Melania to America on a modeling contract and work visa. According to GQ, sometimes, to promote his models, the businessman “would send a few girls to an event and invite photographers, producers, and rich playboys.”

“...but, in fairness...” or “to be fair...” I promptly want to grab something and throw it at the TV.

We’ve all been forced to be MORE than fair with this lying, cheating, lying, willfully ignorant, lying, egotistical, lying asshole! Did I mention what a pathological and congenital LIAR he is?

If you EVER hear one of the talking chuckleheads say, for example, "But, in fairness, Sen. Warren has proven to be an exemplary public servant. Even if she received a leg up early in her career for her Native American ancestry - and there's absolutely no evidence that she did - she has proven to be a smart, capable Senator that the United States should be proud of," prepare to faint dead away. Same goes for, "To be fair, when she was Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton's personal e-mail server was never hacked or compromised, and our foreign affairs were managed professionally in the best interests of the nation."

I think that "In all fairness" is to be taken ironically. Well, it is the way I percieved it.

Otherwise, I agree : Trump and "fairness" in the same sentence, just drives me up the wall...

his percentage of 'wives who left him' will immediately rise to 100%. Malaria most likely has an agreement not to embarrass him while he's "president", but the minute he leaves office she'll want exactly what she married him for; money.

Despite his expressed craving for unhealthy food -- via McDonald's, KFC and Dog-only-knows what else he shovels into his digestive system -- and lack of exercise (apart from walking from golf-cart to ball-lie, or climbing the stairs to AF1 (gasp!), he still manages to cling to life after 70+ years. That must be a record.


For purely scientific reasons, let's keep pursuing that. Let's see how much it takes to push him over the edge.
* To a Myocardial Infarction or other heart crisis (given the already atrophied state of his heart).
* To a stroke (and I'm not being picky here: it could be a thrombotic, embolic or hemorrhagic stroke).
As long as the end result is the same.

So, Cadet Bone Spurs: keep up the pace. We're behind you all the way! MAGA - by keeling over and ending this Caligula-esque episode in history.
