Donald and Mayonnaise got 20 minutes at Windsor, a picture, a handshake and a slammed door!

She looks spitting mad. Good for her.

Queen Elizabeth got Donald Trump and that prostitute out of her house so fast the tea was still hot! President Obama and Michelle got a state dinner & spent the night at Buckingham Palace. Donald and Mayonnaise got 20 minutes at Windsor, a picture, a handshake and a slammed door!

And there's no such thing as a "British subject", anymore, hasn't been since 1949; the UK has citizens.

When they finally arrived late after leaving the poor 92 year old queen and her fully dressed (must have been hot as hell) royal guard standing in July heat, Queen E forced a smile as she greeted them but only glanced at Melania for a second before looking away. 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.
Queen E was rightfully disgusted.

He's just trash. And he was born rich-- had all the advantages-- and yet he has no manners, no style, no elegance, no courtesy.

I bet the next time some republican (British variety, I mean) starts knocking the monarchy, the queen will say, "Who do you think will think it's her duty to host Donald Trump? Only I would do that. You owe me!"

Is this a reference to her white outfit? Geez!

I don't blame her for anything as she did not ask for this role in life. She is no doubt not very smart and from an early age plugged into the stereotype of a pretty model looking for the richest millionaire she could find. She's at least smart enough to keep her mouth shut and avoid starting new catastrophes. Such is the life of a "trophy wife".

(The royals too.)

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.

The one thing that gives me peace is that as soon as this entire family of grifting criminals are gone, laws will be passed to prohibit anything like this from ever happening again. And this time, there won't need to be any congressional input. These laws will have steel teeth and no loop holes.

There is nothing more common than both men and women considering money when deciding who to marry.

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.

Trump killed the story of his third wife’s 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. It’s more accurate to describe her as a former prostitute. The biggest problem with this is using someone’s employment as a sex worker as a means of disparagement. It’s exactly the sort of thing Trump does, even after paying for sex routinely. It really says more about him.

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.

If you want to stamp out all the speculation about Trump and company because there isn’t positive proof, you’ve got a lot more work to do. I’m just pointing out some believe Melania was an actual working prostitute well before she met Trump and it’s a reasonable assertion based on her lifestyle being well out of proportion with her apparent legitimate income. There’s 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 don’t agree that Melania is any sort of victim. Seems like more of an insult to actual victims to characterize her that way.
