TRUMP: "We have a new Jackie O. It's called Melania."

[kpete]

Trump tells Fox he wants to redo Air Force One livery even though the iconic baby blue was “Jackie O.” He then says, “We have a new Jackie O. It’s called Melania.”

46. Trump: Melania -- IT is what IT is.

.

[TheBlackAdder]

67. He called her it, but knowing Trump, there was a silent T in front.

[Gothmog]

2. trump is delusional

[C_U_L8R]

3. Apparently.

[TruckFump]

43. Geeeeeeeeeeez!

What trash.

[trueblue2007]

63. Malaria is trash

[marble falls]

71. You do know slamming her because her husband is a jackass is kind of a nasty thing ...

to do. Shaming her is really not called for and it seems more something they'd do than you or me.



Please edit out those photos and lets get the argument beyond the salacious.

[trueblue2007]

72. No, I will not edit the photos. This is the real world. She modeled for these.

I do think she should be shamed. Call me old fashioned here but those are not the pictures I would want taken of me .... if I took off my clothes for all the world to see. There are other people in this thread who also posted the nude or nearly nude pictures of M. Trump. Did you also tell them to remove their photos???

Sorry you don't care for me posting them but the photos (and worse !!) are on the internet for everyone too see. They will be there for decades, I imagine.
Cheers, have a good weekend.

[marble falls]

74. Slut shamming is a nasty business. We aren't them.

[Skittles]

77. she is pathetic in her own right

she is disgusting

[marble falls]

81. Slut shaming is a nasty business.

[Skittles]

82. I'm not trashing her for her nude photos or fashions

she is just plain disgusting AS A HUMAN BEING

[marble falls]

83. Then you and I agree, but the photos are documention how she was used. No one claims ...

she is a rocket scientist. But lets keep this about her own shortcomings, one of the biggest especially if you look at all the photos and videos of her pulling her hand away or smiling when he looks at her and glowers as he turns away to realize that for whatever bad things she's done, she's being punished for them by being his wife. She's not happy being around him.

[Skittles]

84. fuck her if she is not happy

she pushed the racist birther nonsense (although she was more than happy to plagiarize Michelle), wore I DON'T CARE, DO YOU? when traveling to visit migrant children (in CAGES, courtesy of her fucking husband).....no one is holding a gun to her head making her stay with her fucked up husband.......SHE IS DISGUSTING

[kcr]

88. Yeah, and if someone said, "Put those pics of her away! Nudes are shameful!"

Then that person would be a prude, so whatever. Trump is the one who brought Jackie O into this, so pics of Melania are appropriate in this context.

[marble falls]

89. Lets put a point on it ...

Slut-shaming
Slut-shaming is the practice of criticizing people, especially women and girls, who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality. The term is used to reclaim the word slut and empower women and girls to have agency over their own sexuality.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slut-shaming

[kcr]

90. Right

But that's not what happened in this context.

[Skittles]

76. gross

[sop]

79. Melania T...Mafia Don's gun moll

[Solly Mack]

4. So he is saying there's a Greek tycoon in Melania's very near future?

OK by me.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Or an assassinated husband?

I'll give him the comparison if that became true.

[Solly Mack]

13. I prefer the feather to the brick.

[mountain grammy]

65. Ha..

[TheBlackAdder]

47. Pres. Kennedy was killed 2 years and 306 days in office. Trump will be in office 2 years 145 days.

.

Did Trump set one of those weird coincidences into play?

.

[Solly Mack]

48. No idea. But the mind goes where the mind goes.

[PJMcK]

54. Math

Numbers don't lie.

(wink)

[Mars and Minerva]

59. I remember all of the Lincoln/Kennedy parallels back in the day....

Kennedy/Trump parallels just seem wrong somehow.

Maybe the could wait a week.

[bdamomma]

5. he is really delusional

I'm sure Caroline will have some choice words for that, or maybe she will not give him any satisfaction of even answering him.

What an asshole he is.

[Atticus]

6. "IT"?!?! nt

[mainstreetonce]

19. That was my reaction

A wide called IT

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. Jumps out at you, doesn't it? nt

[WePurrsevere]

29. What sort of person refers to their spouse as "it"? NM...

A misogynistic narcissistic POS like Trump does. This has zero to do with Melania and everything to do with HIM marking everything he can as his like some skunk marking its territory. (With apologies to actual skunks which are actually rather cute in their own way).

[FiveGoodMen]

39. First thing I noticed, too!

[lunasun]

7. Will she fly the plane too?

[sop]

80. When the Trump spectacle finally ends, and the truth about Russian infiltration comes out,

it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Melania turns out to be the principal operative in this whole plot.

[TruckFump]

44. Can you imagine...

MAMIE EISENHOWER, ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, PAT NIXON, BETTY FORD, MICHELLE OBAMA, BARBARA BUSH, LADY BIRD JOHNSON, ROSALYNN CARTER, BESS TRUMAN, HILLARY CLINTON, JACKIE KENNEDY, OR LAURA BUSH dressed like this?

Melania has a LOT of class...all of it's low, but gawd, she has a lot of it.

[DoBotherMe]

55. Betty Ford was one Hot Momma

[link:?ssl=1|

[not_the_one]

75. I vote in every election, and have only voted for one republican in my life, Gerald Ford.

And it was BECAUSE of Betty Ford.

She was addressing issues that needed to be addressed, some dealing with her own shortcomings.

I felt that as long as Gerald had her whispering in his ear every night, he would do the right things as president.

And I had a real problem with Carter, who was a baptist preacher. I didn't trust any preacher of any stripe.

I am still an atheist, but alas, I was SOOO wrong about Carter, who I respect as one of our best presidents.

[lunasun]

61. As if I don't think #WIODT daily but yes ANY FLOTUS of course . Denial by magats

Trump’s debasing us daily don’t even mention Jacqueline Kennedy out of either of your mouths
They just are never gonna be what they think they are
just repellent lowlifes

[3catwoman3]

86. More like a lot of ass...

...hanging out.

[trueblue2007]

64. YUCK,,,,,, she is truly horrible. Not a good role model.

[Irishxs]

8. Tweet going around about opinions of Melania. Best answer is "complicit"

[irisblue]

9. He called the woman who bore his last known child an 'It'

And if Jackie did soft core porn, I am deeply glad to not know of it.

[brooklynite]

10. "it's"?

[2naSalit]

15. +1

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Well she is just a marketing prop for the Trump brand.

[Mars and Minerva]

14. Melania the New Jackie O???? (see photo)

[StarfishSaver]

16. She only became known as Jackie O after she married her second husband.

[blogslut]

24. Ha!

This is the best take.

[MBS]

18. Jesus. n/t

[Blue Owl]

21. The First It

n/t

[MFGsunny]

22. PUKE. n/t

[davsand]

23. She's SO classy.

Ol' Squinty McRBF (RBF=Resting Bitch Face) sure is one CLASSY piece of work. (Admit it, when you got to piece you were expecting a completely different word immediately after!)

I honestly cannot remember a more classless group of reprobates in public life. Whenever I see them or hear about them, I can FEEL my face pulling up into that expression I get when I step in animal poop or right before I vomit.

Gawd.


Laura

[get the red out]

27. Thanks for the apt description

Of how this bunch affects me too.

I so miss Barack and Michelle and their lovely family.

[trev]

53. The whole world feels the same way about the Trumps.

Our allies duck their heads and grimace, and our enemies take advantage of the opportunity to undermine our country.

But none of them, friend or foe, actually likes Trump.

Welcome to the New Great America.

[shanny]

25. "It"?

[Sneederbunk]

26. We have a new William Howard Taft.

[Va Lefty]

28. The only thing Jackie and Melania have in common is that their husbands screwed around on them

[Botany]

30. Klassy w/a K

How far down the rabbit hole have we gone? The President's 3rd wife
came here illegally, did porn, and was a "sex worker" and yet the
evangelical right wing says nothing.

*******



BTW read anything about Jackie's life, education, charities, style, and inner strength
and it is obvious that she was nothing like Melania who was just a high priced escort.

[Botany]

41. Jackie helped to save Grand Central Station in NY

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/preservation-battle-grand-central-180969446/

She was a jewel.

[dlk]

31. Only Trump is Ignorant Enough to Compare a Highly Educated and Cultured Woman to a Former Sex Worker

They're all the same in his pea brain.

[dchill]

32. We have a new Jabba the Hutt...

It's called Ugly the Fuck.

[RobinA]

49. This is What I Thought

Put me down as in favor of an elaborate and eye catching new paint job. Although maybe not. Wouldn't want the staff to get hurt.

[GoCubsGo]

34. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! Melania the next Jackie O.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!



Thanks for the laugh, you bloated, syphilitic, orange asshole!

[Mrs. Ted Nancy]

35. Actually President Kennedy approved the design

I found this:

Air Force One looks the way it does because President John F. Kennedy sat on the floor of the Oval Office with an industrial designer, scissors, paper and crayons.

It was May 1962, and the Air Force had ordered a Boeing C-137 Stratoliner for the president. The airplane could fly anywhere in the world on a half-hour notice. It carried as many as eight crew members and 40 passengers, and had a range of 6,000 miles.

The Air Force had designed a red-and-fold color scheme for the plane, a modified long-range Boeing 707.

I was unimpressed by the gaudy red exterior markings and ... the amateurish graphics of Air Force One, he said.

Loewy owned the largest design firm in New York. He had designed Lucky Strike cigarettes, Studebaker cars, Coca-Cola bottle and Electrolux refrigerators. The press called him The Man Who Streamlined America.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, with her unerring sense of style, lobbied the president to hire the French-born Loewy.

Loewy met with the president twice. The first time, he and Kennedy sat on the floor of the Oval Office drawing with crayons and cutting up paper to come up with a livery for Air Force One.

Then Loewy visited the National Archives to examine historic documents. He was struck by the first printed copy of the Declaration of Independence; it had the new country's name set widely spaced in capital letters in a typeface known as Caslon.

Kennedy had already ordered the Air Force to remove the military lettering in favor of the simple United States of America. And he told Loewy he liked blue.

Loewy chose two blues: slate and cyan. He left the underside of the fuselage silver and added the presidential seal near the nose, a large American flag to the tail, and the words "United States of America" in capital letters using the Caslon typeface.

There's a little more at the link.

51. Jeez, That Red One

is hideous. I always liked that first blue AF1. Not as crazy about the current one, but it keeps the same idea.

[dalton99a]

40. .

[Ligyron]

42. "It" is a good name for that creature.

[ProudLib72]

45. My reaction

[jberryhill]

52. Great Horror Movie Title - "It's Called Melania"

[emmaverybo]

56. Maybe he's using a Russian-ism, ya know like the French say C'est Henri.

[tymorial]

57. Excuse me.

okay.

No wait...

I am okay now..


I think this is going to take a while..

[live love laugh]

58. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

The clowns have been sent in.

They’re now the official mascot for MAGATs.

#rednoses_notredhats

[Wounded Bear]

60. More like Jackie Ho...

(I stole that

[lunasun]

62. Good one !

Thanks for posting I don’t care if you stole it

[enid602]

66. Mel

More like ‘Jackie O’Hell No!!!!!

[Ms. Toad]

68. I find the strong reaction to "it's" a hopeful sign

considering there is at least one current thread in GD in which a DU member referrs to a woman as "it."

Using "it" to refer to people is a classic anti-trans slur, that is no more appropriate when we do it than when Trump does.

[Stinky The Clown]

69. Jackie O was NEVER . . . .

. . . . a soft core porn model

. . . . an illegal immigrant

. . . . a professional escort (<---alleged with evidence but never proved)

[DesertRat]

70. IT is a birther

[Raine]

78. "It" what a strange way to refer to your wife

I wouldn't like being referred to as ”it”.

[Thekaspervote]

85. Classless idiot makes statement about his ugly stupid wife

[tavernier]

87. She certainly was an attractive hooker.

Probably why she got the gig.

See... I follow the old rule. Try to say something nice.
