Melania has to wonder where it all went wrong

There's been a spate of memes on Facebook lately pointing out how classy Melania is and how she's a lucky girl to have such a successful (and handsome) husband. It seems she's gold digging at the bottom of the billionaire barrel to me.

She chose her life, she's been as despicable as Trump has, and so she deserves whatever fallout comes her way. I don't feel sorry for her in the least!!

Or a one-quarter Vulcan. Methinks Elon Musk has a taste for the exotic, and who can blame him? I would be sorry for poor Melania, but she's rich beyond the dreams of avarice, so I'll save my sympathy for someone who needs it.

Although Trump may gain great wealth in the West Wing, it also is subject to his ultimate fate. She has an 11 year old insurance policy named Barron to take what's left.

when she started screwing a married man with a child. Once a cheater, always a cheater. He has no character and neither does she. Never forget how she jumped on the Birther Bandwagon just like her snizzwad husband. She went on interview after interview and spewed this perfidy without ever once thinking of the consequences. For that I will NEVER forgive her.

...Urban Dictionary helped. Do I want to know what a "snizzwad" is? If it relates to bodily fluids, I'll happily remain ignorant.

And, no, you probably don't want to know.

We have some very colourful expressions, most of which are not suitable for a family newspaper.

Sorry if I offended.

...am not conversant with popular slang. And, I'm not in the least offended - I've been a pediatric nurse practitioner for 42 years, so I'm kind of hard to gross out or shock - I talk about pee. poop and puke every day that I work. There are just some images I'd rather not have burned into my brain. I'll speculate that this term refers to a bodily fluid that emanates from somewhere"below the belt," if you will, and, if so, that's all I need to know.

I spent 10 days in Edinburgh in 2005, with our sons, who were on a soccer/football trip. We stayed at the Marriott Dalmahoy outside of the city, and I ate haggis every morning at their sumptuous breakfast buffet - like I said, I'm not easily grossed out - . I also like scrapple.

Some of the more entertaining threads here on DU a while back were those listing various colorful expressions from Scotland used to describe Trump. Very imaginative, to say the least.

My middle name is Elliott, as is that of my younger son. He has the clan symbol tattooed on one of his wrists.

- back atcha!

through tRump modeling agency which also has shady deals with prostitution and illegal immigration and working visas. And how did her parents come to the US? What education, languages and necessary, specific skills did they provide that our country was lacking in?

17. She's fine with her deal

She was an attractive young foreigner who traded (happily) her youth and looks for $$$$$$$$..

Her "anchor-baby" assured the permanence of the "deal"..

She has what she wanted, and no doubt will make more money along the way..

The one I pity is poor Barron.. He asked for none of it, but got a whopper portion of shit to deal with..

I have never seen a more unhappy looking kid..

and over his head in debt. His money was all on paper and all for show with no there there at all.

Now that he's the Grifter-in-Chief and is shaking that money maker to beat the band, he's probably clawed his way back up to breaking even with a little bit left over as a cushion.

But the man has never been anything close to a billionaire.
