The media's furiously spinning an image of Melania as a Machiavellian Ninja, and folks, she is NOT.

Sweet Jesus.

Raw Story click bait headline of her as a "knife fighter."

Ever since Trump was elected, there has been an effort to paint her as a mysterious, multi-dimensional goddess.

She ain't.

She...just...AIN'T.

and now she's a head hunter?

A much needed diversion is what I'm seeing.

truth, justice and the American Way, and she’s secretly married to Felix Sater in real life, and together they will save my country from this vile onslaught of depravity and cruelty and gluttony.

But then she showed up in that jacket, and since then, I said well that old gal can fuck right off.

Hell, it don’t matter what I think, does it.

Anyway, I hope her son turns out okay, I really do.

1). Trump loses in 2020

2). She returns to Trump Tower and surrounds herself with even more opulence.

Perhaps she can even hire a ghost writer to pen a tome about her "legacy."

I see her as a one-dimensional person who was thrust into the public eye, in a role of service to our country, and I see no evidence that she ever wanted to be that person.

He's toast here - his kids will have a hard enough time returning and will probably move somewhere like NJ. Donnie will go to FL.

is that when confronted with the FACT that donnie cheated on her (while she was home nursing Barron), she had donnie by the balls. I suspect their prenup was blown to shreds and the only way donnie can keep her from leaving him (with a pile of cash) is to just give in to what she wants, whenever she wants it.

At least, not for President Pussygroper. There is no way he would agree to something like that.

I have ever seen has that clause. If you cheat, you pay big bucks whether it ends the marriage or not. The ONLY reason we know or care about it is that he's in the oval office. Otherwise, she never would have found out.

Though they are starting to become more popular, for obvious reasons.

But they are not necessary, and I can't believe Trump would ever settle for one.

It’s a response to the growing wave of strong women becoming visible in government and the world today. They are desperately trying to portray the women in trumps life as powerful, independent thinking with strong opinions.
Here’s an article I found the other day at Raw Story about Ivanka.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/marie-claire-finds-hidden-message-ivanka-trumps-political-future-hair-color/

I may be wrong about this but I do believe it’s a ploy to make the administration look stronger.

It's like Greem Acres goes to DC except Rodney Dangerfield is playing the role of the husband.

It's a show that gets weirder and darker with each episode.
