Trump says Melania really wanted to be with us during speech with Melania right next to him

http://rare.us/rare-news/trump-says-melania-really-wanted-to-be-with-us-during-speech-with-melania-right-next-to-him/?utm_content=inf_10_3427_2&utm_source=p-facebook&utm_medium=the-social-edge&utm_campaign=influencer&tse_id=INF_585c8620a06111e7897b1b4a01a12704



President Donald Trump remarked during his speech to Hurricane Irma first responders that “Melania really wanted to be with us” — as she stood right next to him.

The Trumps traveled to Fort Myers, Florida, last week to survey the damage and talk to first responders about the work they have been doing.

During President Trump’s speech, he said, “I just wanted to thank everybody — our first responders — on behalf of myself, our vice president — Melania really wanted to be with us. She’s really — it’s really touched her heart.”

She probably had avoided him entirely right up until the cameras turned on.

And her hat did not say FLOTUS. I am sure that was very confusing as well.

GOD help us.

The speech did not get amended when they twisted her arm into going!

Melania next to Trump. He just wanted to be sure.

All he said was, "Melania really wanted to be with us. ....it's really touched her heart."

He didn't say she wanted to be there but was unable to make it. The fact she is next to him just illustrates what he was saying. She wanted to be there, and she was.

Stop trying to make him sound stupid all the time. He says enough stupid things that don't make sense, that it makes our side look desperate when we start making something out of nothing.

I made a similar point in another thread.

When we intentionally misinterpret things (or repeat intentionally misinterpreted things without bothering to check context), we lose credibility.

He knows every redneck there has the hots for her and many probably have some pinups of her on the wall. That's the only reason he mentioned her.

Sure, there were some people who died, but they were such a small number that they don't really matter....??? Seriously??? This isn't a golf game where the prezident gets an unlimited number of mulligans. Those people DIED assmunch, and I honestly wish it had been you instead of them.
