Probably rare for her, especially the last year or so. Obama is classy enough to not belittle her about trump. And he is smart. And good sense of humor. I actually feel sorry for Melania. It looks like Obama is giving her a brief shelter from the storm.

His incredible wife is right there with him, empathic and intuitive. Compassion, integrity, truly caring people. I imagine they both gave Melania a respite from the maelstrom she choses to live in.

So what if he's the 'president', there's no law that says he can't be served with divorce papers while in office. If anyone deserves that kind of public embarrassment it's Spanky.

I'm so used to seeing her frozen in that rigor mortis grimace, that I'd forgotten she's actually quite attractive.

She's due a respite from the ghastly horrors of the donald.

So are we.
