Yeah, that's a week's worth of shoe shopping money for someone like that.
A week? More like an afternoon.

While I don’t have a big problem with Melania as I said she’s the least deplorable. She isn’t likable.
Also forum confession when it comes to women’s fashion I am like a gay man. I know stuff.

Melania recently wore a pair of these boots before Xmas heading to FL

$20,000 a year is chump change if you're married to a billionaire.
yeah but his point was that women is used to others paying for her lifestyle. All indicators are she's never done any real work in her life and much like her kids doesnt really know what anything costs.
She's a middle aged Paris Hilton.

From the article concerning a run again in 2024.... if Donald really wants a disappointment greater than the disappointment of losing to Joe Biden, just try running.... again.... in 2024. Talk about the definition of insanity, trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome, Donald Trump running in 2024 certainly defines insanity. Donald Trump insanity.

She’s lean and fit, that over sized coat looks awesome on her. She should have wore a brighter color IMO.
She has a smile which she usually doesn’t do. Overall she looks great.
I saw this on msn.com too, I did not like the boots she paired with the coat.

That smile is her knowing that she only has to endure 3 more weeks of living in a place she doesn't like, pretending to care about a position she has no interest in.

Home to her pampered life & friends in NYC, even if hubby has to flee the country. She'll take care of the penthouse while he's gone.

You guys realize most of the Melania appearances are by body doubles. Kudos to the handlers in DC. Nice work. The oversized sunglasses on a cloudy day and heavy oversized coat are probably to hide that she is not a perfect Melania double.View attachment 36943
You could be right. This woman is actually holding Donald's hand.

On the surface one of my first thoughts about Melania is that she is a victim, and knowingly got in bed with him at least once.

But then the reality that she knew damn well what she was doing, and secured her privilege to remain in the US. Doesn't mean she hasn't been/is still being mentally abused by Trump. Baron, their son is a victim, and will likely have many of the mental issues that his daddy suffers.

I really struggle to see her as any sort of 'victim'. She chose to get together with Trump, as an adult. And I can't see the slightest sign she's been any sort of positive influence on him.

I do wonder about Barron, and all of Trump's kids. When you look at the offspring of infamous powerful bad guys, it's hard to know what to think about them. How to make moral judgements. They often turn out bad, but at the same time you wonder whether they ever had a chance of not doing so? Growing up with dysfunctional parents is hard, growing up with extremely powerful dysfunctional parents is clearly harder still, and still more likely to mess you up.

There are very few kids of powerful despots, corrupt rich people, top criminals, and so on, who didn't end up messed-up.

Yep, she's a gold digger, probably has a livable prenup, got her citizenship, got her parents to the US, etc.. She knew who she was getting into bed with... though I wager that hasn't happened in a while.

Jared's another fine example; like father like son.

Disagree. Trump lost because of COVID and the economy being trashed. When the Republicans do everything they can to sabotage Biden Trump will run on how the Democrats never fixed anything. And I doubt there will be the enthusiasm on the Democrats' side in 2024 seeing how little Biden is pretty right-leaning. Trump has a huge base that isn't going anywhere. Unless he's dead there is a pretty decent chance Trump gets elected in 2024.

Look at how fucked up Ivanka is. I read a story where she and Dear Leader were walking down the street, saw a homeless guy, and Dear Leader said hey that guy is a billion dollars richer than me. And ignoramus Ivanka told this story as some inspirational tale about daddy. She may be the stupidest thing in the white house. Even dumber than Barron thinking that was really daddy's head that Kathy Griffin chopped off.

I leave him off at least until he is 18.
Honestly I know nothing about the boy.
Given how Trump has fucked up every one of his other kids, the odds for Baron ain't that good. But there are cases where people have survived a totally toxic upbringing and turned out to be decent people.

Tiffany isn’t fucked up. She is smart enough to keep quiet and not grift since she has a pretty good life as it is.

She's just stupid, lazy, entitled, and really kinda unattractive. She is just not as proud of her stupidity so it doesn't show.
