1. New book about Melanie...poor thing is misunderstood.

It talks about her very serious kidney operation and how she and the Donald sleep in separate rooms. Daily Mail is trash and loves the tRumps (doesn't Murdoch own that rag?).

17. Evidently, that is one rag

that Murdoch does NOT own. The Daily Mail is owned by Viscount Rothermere.

https://www.tutor2u.net/sociology/reference/who-owns-the-uk-media

...
Certainly, a very small number of corporations own the bulk of media companies. News UK (part of News International owned by Rupert Murdoch), the Daily Mail and General Trust (run by Viscount Rothermere) and Reach PLC (formerly Trinity Mirror, whose CEO is Simon Fox and who have now bought the Express) own over 70% of the newspaper market in the UK. Even regional newspapers are now owned by a small number of newspaper groups, rather than run locally and independently.

Other key players, outside newspapers, are Sky (controlling interest, 20thCentury Fox, part of News International owned by Rupert Murdoch – although this many change as Disney are interested in the company), ITV (CEO Carolyn McCall) and Channel 5 (owned by US media giant, Viacom). There are also other important players in media production, such as Disney (who may soon own Fox) and online communication (such as Facebook and Youtube). Youtube is owned by Google.

There are also a couple of important public service organisations. By far the largest is the state broadcaster, the BBC. There is also Channel 4 which is also publicly owned, but there are regular discussions about privatising it.

While it is possible to overstate the power of these media moguls in the UK, after all newspaper sales have been falling rapidly for many years, and many more people get their news from the BBC, their dominance of the newspaper market is undeniable. ...

2. So, they don't like each other. Neither would I - either way.

[John Fante]

3. Too know you're an gigantic asshole when your gold-digging

wife can't even pretend to love you anymore.

[Skittles]

4. she always looks like a blowup doll

and don't even get me started on HIM

fucking CREEPY "couple"

[RockRaven]

5. Well, I would not willingly sleep on the same floor as either of them either...

but I suppose neither can escape themselves.

This is perhaps the most reasonable and relatable thing ever reported about either of them. That is fucking tragic, and weird, of course.

[Midnight Writer]

6. Some people with back problems are more comfortable sleeping on the floor.

With Donald's weight and Melania's massive kidneys, they are both candidates for back pain.

[sop]

8. And with those massive kidneys, only on her back.

Years from now, tour guides will point to a large depression in the WH floor and tell visitors, "this is where president Trump slept."

[BlueMTexpat]

18. ...

Thanks for the chuckle!

[SallyHemmings]

32. So practical

[Midnight Writer]

7. My ex-wife used to have insomnia, so she often slept over at my neighbor Chuck's house.

It was much quieter over there, since Chuck was a bachelor and there were no kids around.

[littlemissmartypants]

9. .

You really should keep a journal.

[SunSeeker]

12. LOL

[True Blue American]

14. LOL

Not funny, but yet!

[PJMcK]

26. Oh, my. There are too many thoughts that come to mind

I won't share them since I've been through a couple of divorces.

Nonetheless, I think you and I share a deep, dark sense of humor!

Chuck, eh?

[Nevilledog]

49. *snort*

[lunatica]

53. LOL!

10. FA45 was using the Lincoln Bedroom when he first moved in..

He's probably still there. She's likely using the master suite, since it has an adjoining dressing room. Both are on the second floor, but at opposite ends. (The bedrooms on the third floor are smaller.)

The White House Museum website has floor plans for the four floors. Most of the rooms on the plans have clickable hotpots which link to more info on how the rooms were used over time and historical photos through the years. It's pretty interesting.

This is the link for the second floor.

[Arazi]

15. He's in the master suite (with a lock on the door he requested)

She's supposedly upstairs in 2 rooms that Michelle Obama's mom used.

Tbh, I doubt she spends much time there. Barron basically lives with his grandparents in Maryland close to his school. Guessing Melanie does too

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. The lock is to make sure there are no interruptions when he's

having a profound religious experience with his new spiritual advisor.

[Celerity]

24. Evangelical pastor with close ties to Donald Trump urges followers to send her church a month's pay

as 'first fruit to God' or face the 'consequences'

grifters of a feather.............

[keithbvadu2]

59. The preachers/cashiers of Prosperity Gospel seem to benefit far more than the donors.

[lagomorph777]

36. AAaaaauuugh! My eyes!

Bleach please!

[Ilsa]

44. Yeah, I bet the only time she cries out, "Oh God"

is when she's faking it for MF45.

I wonder why priestly Pence didn't offer to be trump's spiritual advisor. Unless he knew it would all be too shocking and that the job is just a cover.

[sop]

45. Tell me that woman seated behind Trump isn't thinking the same thing.

[Mendocino]

48. He's just waiting

for the second "coming".

[Blue_true]

57. At his age that must take a while. nt

[lunatica]

55. Trump's women all seem to have the same oversized squished breasts

Everything always looks too tight. It’s a thing with them.

[keithbvadu2]

60. Does anyone see a flag pin on Ivanka's outfit at the UN?

Does anyone see a flag pin on Ivanka's outfit at the UN?

Have any patriotic republicans complained?

[DeminPennswoods]

20. Thought she lived in MD with the kid and near

her parents.

[Blue_true]

58. She visits the WH maybe. The rooms would be for the visit.

I seriously doubt that they are having marital relations. Even before cameras she is loath to touch him or let him touch her.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. CNN reported yesterday that she uses Marion Robinson's rooms.

[PJMcK]

27. Your typo really made me laugh!

"Hotpots"

Hilarious!

Would anyone with a brain and normal desires want to sleep with either one of these assholes?

Melania and Trump deserve one another and I love it that the licentious Trump has been reduced to jacking off to iron in his locked bedroom.

Fuck 'em both.

[lunatica]

54. She's sleeping in the suite Michelle Obama's mother slept in.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I'm glad I sleep in a separate fucking *state*.

[Hortensis]

22. +1. I drove past Mar a Lago once, part of seeing the

protesters on the road to it, but even having him in DC makes visiting there less appealing.

[StarfishSaver]

31. I used to love driving past the White House

Now I avoid it completely, even when I have to go out of my way to get where I'm going.

[Hortensis]

33. I'd feel and be doing the same. We'll get past this, and

this very dangerous point we've come to is already forcing changes that will undo so much of the corruption the Republicans have instilled over the past 40 years. The bills McConnell is blocking are waiting.

Itm, maybe drive past the Capitol sometimes? This summer one of our grandsons literally bumped into Speaker Pelosi outside her office and got to meet her, no picture sadly.

[StarfishSaver]

37. I'm frequently at or near the Capitol and never get tired of looking at

Tell your grands not to worry about not having a photo. Choice between meeting the Speaker of the House with no photo and not meeting her at all - meeting her wins hands down. They have the memory and that's what really matters!

It's funny how often you run into people there, just as a matter of course. I remember walking on the grounds very early one morning and seeing an old man in a baggy coat playing fetch with his dogs on the grass. For some reason, he caught my eye and I stopped to watch for a few minutes. When he turned around, I saw it was Ted Kennedy.

A few years later, I stood almost on that very spot to pay tribute to him when his cortege came to the Capitol.

That's one of the things I love about DC. Another was to see the White House illuminated at night while driving along Constitution Avenue. Not now. That's gone. But, as you said, it will come back.

[Hortensis]

40. I envy you. Trump or not, that's definitely on my list of

places I'd live or work if I'd moved there before I met my outdoorsman husband.

Agree entirely about the memories. It was a great tour, accompanying a kid whose grandmother's connected and had him bring a friend along, and I'm thrilled for him. The picture would be for my memories.

[StarfishSaver]

41. One of the things I love about the Capitol

is that visiting it gives kids a chance to see the Members and the government up close and to begin to vision that they can get there from where they are. Not necessarily to become a politician, but to aspire to do whatever they want. When they see the same people they see on television and who they know are "big time," up close and accessible, it changes their perspectives about what they can do and where they can go. That always makes this idealistic dreamer happy ...

It also lets them feel connected to their government. I took my niece to the White House a few years ago and as we stood on Pennsylvania Avenue looking through the gates, she said, "You mean the President lives right here on the street and you can just walk up to his house?!" That really struck me because we just don't see that in every country where the presidents live behind walls. Of course, the White House and the President aren't really all that accessible, but even the appearance of openness and accessibility keeps our leaders connected to us.

I'm so ready to get my government and country back!

[Hortensis]

42. You make me want to grab some kids and come. :)

If only we could all have the insights and connection from routine exposure.

[StarfishSaver]

43. Come!

[Hortensis]

46. Thanks! Only really nice people invite more tourists.

Actually, all our grandchildren have been there more recently than us. Which is fine because I'd like to visit some of the area gardens this time, but Easter vacation and thus children are ruled out.

Maybe we'll pass someday.

[NanceGreggs]

13. Not sure why this is being discussed as a new relevation.

It was known that they've always had separate bedrooms in their NY apartment. Why would that change?

Besides, who would want to sleep in the same room with that orange tub-o'-lard?

[Hortensis]

21. For sure. Trump also had separated floors in Trump Tower

where he spent most of his time. Ivanka said as a teenager she had to arrange to proactively visit her father a few floors below to keep a relationship alive. And Melania had long arranged her life amap without him. Being available in new outfits when he wanted to show her off on social occasions was her favorite role, and apparently main one since other women were always available and it's hard to imagine her role as mother of his son was high on his priorities. No wonder she cried on election night.

[DFW]

16. You mean she sleeps in the same building? n/t

[Chemisse]

23. I'm surprised she sleeps in the same wing!

As far as Trump being grumpy because he is not having sex, I find it hard to believe that a man his age, with his cardiovascular problems, is able to have sex anyway, even with the help of Viagra.

[dewsgirl]

28. I guess it's better than a different state.

[bluedigger]

30. At least someone can sleep with that orange shitgibbon in the WH.

Not doing so well, myself.

[kskiska]

34. When they lived at Trump Tower

Barron had a whole floor to himself. His dad rarely saw him there, either.

[lagomorph777]

35. They should sleep on concrete floors, with mylar blankets.

[Baked Potato]

38. So sleeping with Chosen One

Isn’t on the schedule? Jeez, what does she want out of a guy?

[splat]

50. With THIS guy? Money, honey! n/t

[Aristus]

39. I feel creeped out sleeping on the same continent as Trump.

But I can't get any further away from Trump without getting my feet wet.

[splat]

47. It's a guest room for when she has to leave Maryland for an early appearance or flight with him

I still believe she lives with her parents and Barron near his school in Potomac, Maryland, 30 minutes away. The White House is a pied a terre for her.

[unitedwethrive]

52. True, Melania and Barron only go to the WH for needed appearances.

My SIL is from Potomac and has friends who also go to St. Andrew's (Barron's school), and they know that Barron starts and ends his day at his grandparent's home.

[Kurt V.]

51. who gives a fuck?

[Blue_true]

56. Given his diet he likely farts like crazy at night. And given his weight, he likely snores like

a bear at night also. She is no angel, but I don't blame her for sleeping on another floor.

[kskiska]

61. He doesn't allow the domestic staff in his room.

When he first moved in he was outraged when they came in to pick up his clothes on the floor. He said that's where he wants them. He probably leaves his dirty Depends all over, too.
