Trump Mortified After World Series Crowd Starts Booing, Chanting 'Lock Him Up' At Melania

WASHINGTON—As a chorus of jeers began to fill Nationals Park during Game Five of the World Series, President Donald Trump was reportedly mortified Sunday after the crowd started chanting “Lock him up!” at first lady Melania Trump.

“Why would they do that? It’s so mean,” said Trump, adding that when they stood up in their box seats to wave, the crowd began viciously booing Melania, an act he claimed was extremely disrespectful to the office of the first lady, especially since he was pretty sure she hadn’t done anything illegal.

“Listen, there are plenty of things about Melania that I don’t like. I’ve definitely thought about replacing her. Heck, I got caught up in the chant for a little bit there too. But she should be able to attend a baseball game in peace. Someone even pulled out a sign that said ‘Impeach Trump,’ which is silly, because I don’t think she can be impeached. Overall, we were incredibly embarrassed for Melania, but she was able to put on a brave face. I went over to console her and she didn’t seem bothered by it at all.”

At press time, Trump kicked himself for being foolish after realizing that the crowd was probably booing Senator David Perdue (R-GA) for his unpopular agricultural policies.

if she was upset? Her face has been lifted, Botoxed, re-arranged, there is no expression on it. It is just like a mask, except the eyes keep slanting upwards more after "kidney surgery".

Smile on cue.
Notice that he quit smiling before she did.

On wider shots you can see Ivanka peering around Melania to look at him and she does a brow lift and smile which shows he was looking at her. Melania saw it and suddenly quit smiling.

He gets that from Putin. How about that. She gets her orders from a guy who gets his orders from Putin or else.

No one could help destroy NATO for Putin other than Trump.

I gotta fuck you to those who voted for him. You undid everything post WWII.

Nice people you are not.

Oh, you Onion, you!

You take sarcasm, satire, and irony so close to the truth that it provides shadow over the red line.

Well, for the first two paragraphs anyway. Then I looked at the source. Truth is stranger than fiction these days, so you never know.
