Melania Trump's extended hospital stay is perplexing outside medical experts: report

[womanofthehills]

Mrs. Trump’s close aides were also seen wearing blue scrubs. Hong said it was unclear why they were wearing scrubs since they are “unnecessary” for someone who underwent an “embolization procedure.”

Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director would not answer questions.

“When I have something to tell you …I will,” Grisham wrote in an email.

1. MSNBC Just Interviewed a Kid Shot in the Head this Morning-He's Already at Home Talking on the Porch

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Sounds like she has a contagious infection.

[bettyellen]

3. LOL *hug*

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. LOL, the airborne kind.

Not whatever STD that Spanky may have given her.

[Kirk Lover]

5. Ya know I forgot all about her. She is such a NON FACTOR. But THEY ARE LIARS.

The whole lot about every damn thing.

[JI7]

6. Cosmetic surgery ?

[fierywoman]

25. ... a little nip-and-tuck?

[BigmanPigman]

7. MSNBC said that DC will have poor weather this weekend

which apparently means that the moron can't golf and will stuck indoors ranting and tweeting. Melanie will probably request to stay in the hospital until the weather is nicer and he is out of the W House again. I wish he were out permanently.

[DBoon]

8. like Martha Mitchell

In the Nixon era?

[Hekate]

30. Huh. Wonder who else remembers poor Martha? nt

[Kittycow]

32. Mee...

I was in high school. Gosh, so much happened in those years. Anyway, we sure could use a Martha Mitchell now spilling the beans but the Ruskies would probably off her.

[lunatica]

40. I remember her.

The crazy woman who it turns out was right. I had not thought of her in years.

[Hekate]

44. I remember her husband's goons ripping the phone off the wall to keep her from talking...

I remember how she lost custody of her 13 y.o. daughter in the divorce, and when she died of cancer the kid would not or more likely could not go to see her in the hospital.

So, for all those excoriating Melania for staying with King Trojan Horse -- remember that she has a 13 y.o. kid. When you marry a mobster, you marry The Mob.

[RandySF]

9. She's still trying to get rid of a 239 pound tumor.

[mia]

10. !!!

[mercuryblues]

16. yeah, but that still leaves her

with 100 lbs of it attached to her.

[yonder]

20. that about went over my head, good one

[dalton99a]

18. +1

[aka-chmeee]

37. Specifically, that would be a lipoma, correct? nt

[ginnyinWI]

11. This White House will lie at the slightest whim.

So if there is something potentially going on here, you can bet they are lying about it. Even if there is nothing going on, they'll still lie about it, on principle.

[Hoyt]

12. No home support? Cosmetic surgery? Mental health? trump hurt her physically?

Who knows. But sure doesn’t sound like relatively simple kidney surgery.

[lame54]

13. Maybe Trump poisoned her...

Just like his buddy Putin
If Melania passes Trump can get sympathy points

[BannonsLiver]

19. And attention ladies: he'd be back on the market!

Get it while it’s hot.

[Ohiya]

31. He's never been off the market...

In any respect.

[underthematrix]

14. It sounds like she may be receiving a hazardous form of chemotherapy

although the article suggest all forms can be hazardous. https://www.amsn.org/membership/its-all-about-you/what-you-need-know-about-chemotherapy-your-everyday-practice

[wishstar]

29. Yes, she could have received an antiviral drug if her kidney condition was caused by virus

some antivirals are considered hazardous so precautions are advised to prevent exposure to others.

[Blue_true]

15. My guess is she now realize that she made a Faustian bargain in life.

And that is eating her up inside.

[trixie2]

17. She is making a break for it

RUN!

[MontanaMama]

21. I'm still thinking it is some kind of

cosmetic surgery. She can’t be running around with bruises on her face embarrassing the Spankmeister...she’d best stay under cover till she looks all pretty again.

[Hugin]

24. Okay, that's probably it.

Shades of Mika? Both literally and figuratively.

[MontanaMama]

26. It's gotta be, right?

Anything else would be day surgery and we would know more about it.

[Hugin]

27. for my runners up see post #23. n/t

[lunatica]

41. And we know Trump finds women's bleeding faces disgusting!

So maybe that’s why she’s not in the White House.

[womanofthehills]

22. New York Times came out with an article Melania's long recovery too

At this point in Mrs. Trump’s recovery, specialists say it is hard to know why she would remain in the hospital for the better part of a week. It is possible that a patient could stay longer after an embolization procedure if there were underlying medical conditions, or if an infection, pain or discomfort developed afterward, Dr. Joseph A. Vassalotti, the chief medical officer at the National Kidney Foundation, said in an interview.

[Hugin]

23. Maybe she really had a Trumpectomy...

I've heard there can be serious complications. Just ask Peggy Peterson.


or maybe she contracted, I-didn't-get-invited-to-the-royal-wedding-and-need-an-excuse-why-I-wasn't-there-itis. That usually calls for an extended stay in the hospital.

[MontanaMama]

28. Bwaahaaaaa!

[Kittycow]

33. On the lighter side, I submit that..

she needed a spa-like experience so she's being pampered there under the guise of medical treatment.

You see, she doesn't want to be criticized for wasting tax payer dollars. They're very sensitive about the appearance of impropriety.

[catbyte]

34. The fact that I couldn't care less about her hospitalization is a startling indication of

just how toxic that whole criminal enterprise has made the world. I am an empathetic person and in the past have never wished even my enemies ill--bad karma and all that--but the Trump family is just so vile that I feel whatever bad things happen to them they deserve for being such despicable, evil people. And that alarms me, because they have changed me as a person, and I hate that they have that kind of power over me. I'm working on it, though.

[lunatica]

42. Look at it this way

You’d have to be a pretty vile person not to react to the Trump family with intense loathing. I’m serious.

[JNelson6563]

35. I have a theory

[Achilleaze]

36. Since this involves republicans and Comrade Casino's "wife"

decent people are inclined to be suspicious. So many lies...hard to imagine the KGOP repubes doing something different and actually telling the truth about Mrs. Comrade Casino* and her allegedly pissed-off kidneys.


* aka republican draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[Roland99]

38. Poisoned as a threat to Der Twitler?

Conspiratorial, I admit.

[Corgigal]

39. Might of kicked her ass

Wouldn't be the first time Trump injured a wife. Takes awhile to cover facial bruising, but I can't imagine someone not selling those photos.

[dawg]

43. Maybe she reached the center of her maze ...

became fully sentient, and started glitching out.

Don't worry. Felix and Sylvester will get her straightened out in no time.

(But all "Westworld" joking aside, I hope it isn't anything too serious. I'm not fond of the First Lady, but I don't wish her harm.)

[MineralMan]

45. Uh, she's back in the White House now.

Everyone can drop the conspiracy theories now...
