WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 30: U.S. President Donald J. Trump arrives to deliver the State of the Union address in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives January 30, 2018 in Washington, DC.

Washington (CNN)Melania Trump, whose appearances often generate public interest, strode into the Capitol Tuesday night with the public eager to read into whatever signals the President might exchange with his wife during the State of the Union speech.
They were probably disappointed.

With the exception of her unorthodox decision to abandon her husband's vehicle for the ride from the White House to the Capitol building -- and instead travel there in her own motorcade with her guests, arriving almost one hour before him -- Melania Trump's interaction with the President was, essentially, State of the Union status quo.



There was no lengthy back-and-forth between Trump and the first lady, no adoring gaze that lingered, no great gesture of introduction -- outside of the very opening line of his speech, in which Melania Trump's title was wedged between that of the vice president, members of Congress and her fellow Americans. There wasn't even any of Trump's signature effusive praise, the heap of compliments he can be so generous with when he wants to single out a particularly "terrific" person.

In October of last year, Trump was happy to tout his wife's popularity, telling a roomful of guests at a formal White House Historical Association dinner that Melania Trump was "the star of the Trump family," adding "they love her out there, they're loving Melania." (That was an upgrade from July, when he told an Iowa crowd, "they're liking her, they're liking her.&quot ................................

1. WE don't like or love either one of these grifters.

She knew what she was getting and went for it anyway in classic gold-digger fashion.

2. hmmmm

I don't care if she came an hour before trump or an hour after trump. How does this make news?

7. Lots of tax money is going to be spent if they continue to go their separate ways.

[burnbaby]

8. ah

didn't think of that

3. Someday he will die

and she will be alone in her mansion, contemplating the book deals she could negotiate.

If she releases a tell-all, I'd do my best to reserve it at the library (not paying one dime to hear about her lack of courage during her husbands presidency.......but I am willing to peruse the details that will stain his legacy).

4. Yet More Money Paid Out For Her Convenience

how much more is this woman going to cost us

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. These 2 are going to bankrupt the country single handedly. nt

9. Honestly

$650,000. for 3 months of air travel between DC, Fla. & NY. Every day she spends here in NYC costs us 1 mil. Between rented golf carts, $95,000. paid for one of Eric's recent trips and so on and so forth, you are correct. I wonder how many children could be fed or receive medical attention with that money.

5. Sorry, I dont give two fucks about this woman. And I tend to always back women up.

10. For some reason, their "relationship" always reminds me of this scene from Citizen Kane:
