20 minutes,huh?
The queen had to stand and wait for 15 minutes. Trump late. I bet she was spitting mad.
The only picture of them leaving was a car going out. No goodbye,wave,come again!

When she asked the dickhead to accompany her to inspect her guard the trash-heap didn't even do up his jacket. Apparently, he thought it was fine to be a hot mess while inspecting the Royal Guard. Those poor guys had been forced to wait on the dung pile for a long time.

I don't blame her for anything as she did not ask for this role in life.

She's at least smart enough to keep her mouth shut and avoid starting new catastrophes. Such is the life of a "trophy wife".

You can tell the Obamas respect their hosts enough to listen to the White House and Dept of State protocol advisors.
Trump doesn't even know how to WALK in any formal setting, and he didn't even button his coat, so his big belly and his penis-substitute tie hung out when he was walking with her, and he walked in front of her and cut her off.
At least he didn't hold her hand like she was his mommy, the way he did with Theresa May-- what is it with him? He always holds her hand. One of these days, she's going to work her hand free and punch him one.

Yuorik, one could say there are two kinds of Americans: those who care if the Brits keep their royals, or not, and those who don't. I'm with the latter. Big whatever. Now, at 10 years old I already had a real problem with the press calling the Kennedys our royal family, Camelot, entitlement to office. That's never changed, but there's more than just an ocean of difference.

What's the difference between your calling her a prostitute because she's a woman and she married an extremely wealthy man and those men who call single women who hold jobs and married women who wear modern clothes whores? In my mind, there's not nearly enough difference between this extreme insult and theirs.

Major Nikon
(36,818 posts)Trump killed the story of his third wifes past as a prostitute. She had an apartment in Manhattan despite the pinnacle of her modeling career being a nude spread in an obscure magazine. Its more accurate to describe her as a former prostitute. The biggest problem with this is using someones employment as a sex worker as a means of disparagement. Its exactly the sort of thing Trump does, even after paying for sex routinely. It really says more about him.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Until and if facts are produced to prove what are the kind of inevitable lies that nasty people generate about every public figure, this is tabloid trash and doesn't belong on DU.
There are other social media for those who enjoy that kind of sleaze. Most of them are right wing and mostly male, of course, but not all by any means. Many sorts enjoy gathering to degrade and throw verbal rocks at women.
Btw, imo, claiming this is really more about smearing Trump is just insulting and diminishing this victim all over again.
Major Nikon
(36,818 posts)If you want to stamp out all the speculation about Trump and company because there isnt positive proof, youve got a lot more work to do. Im just pointing out some believe Melania was an actual working prostitute well before she met Trump and its a reasonable assertion based on her lifestyle being well out of proportion with her apparent legitimate income. Theres also no doubt the so-called modeling agent she worked for was a sleaze who used women in nefarious ways to close deals for the very wealthy. I dont agree that Melania is any sort of victim. Seems like more of an insult to actual victims to characterize her that way.
