1. Wow. That hurts my heart.

[ProudLib72]

2. Leak, Melania, LEAK! n/t

[Ilsa]

3. Oh shit, I think I felt one of my heartstrings.

I don't need to waste time feeling sorry for her.

[Denverchick]

42. Yeah I know. But she betrays herself and women everywhere, so why waste pity on her?

[pangaia]

56. She is an abused woman, no question.

It is right there for all the world to see.
With what little I know, whis is not much, I can sympathize with her.

[NanceGreggs]

4. That tape has been edited ...

... and very obviously so.

It is as pointless to attribute anything to a deliberately edited tape as it is to say something is "telling" about a photo that has obviously been photo-shopped.

[DUgosh]

5. Perhaps not

6. NO!!!!!!! IT HAS NOT BE EDITED!!!

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/46804_Revealing_Video_of_Donald_and_Melania_Trump_at_Inauguration-_Was_It_Reversed

[Chakaconcarne]

8. It's played in reverse

[tenderfoot]

9. According to right wing trolls it is ....

are you one of them?

[Bengus81]

11. That third video and the audio is in reverse??

ROFLOL..... So Pence is clapping in reverse and that blonde a couple of rows back is flipping her hair in reverse? In reverse Grahams lips wouldn't match the audio UNLESS the audio was played in reverse.

[oberliner]

27. No it's not

Watch it in its full context - link provided down thread.

[NanceGreggs]

12. Yes, it has.

He turns to Melania, and then there is a "jump" between his turning back towards the camera and looking straight ahead again.

There are plenty of UNEDITED videos out there showing Trump's disrespect for his wife. There is no need to edit other videos to make a point that has already been made repeatedly.

[tenderfoot]

13. The video is real

eom

[NanceGreggs]

14. Yes, the video is real.

And so is the obvious edit.

[tenderfoot]

16. from three different angles

oh... okay.

[NanceGreggs]

30. The video in the OP is from one angle.

Trump turns to Melania. He then turns back around - there are two "jumps" in the tape as he does so. As he's turning away from her, she is still smiling - then suddenly her head is in a completely different position; she is looking down and is no longer smiling.

How did her head change position like that without it showing up on the tape? We don't see her MOVE into that position - how is that possible if it wasn't edited? The position of her head and her facial expression literally changes from one frame to another.

[uppityperson]

37. Do you mean when she dropped the smile?

[NanceGreggs]

40. It was more than "dropping the smile".

On this tape, her head very suddenly goes from looking straight ahead smiling to her head lowered and looking serious. And yet the footage doesn't "show" the movement that would have had to take place between those two shots.

As I've said, there are plenty of videos demonstrating Trump's disrespect for his wife. There is simply no need to dwell on one that was obviously edited. NO ONE goes from their head being in one position to suddenly being in a different position literally from one second to the next, with no movement visible between the two positions.

[uppityperson]

43. I don't see a jump, just a sudden change of expression.

[NanceGreggs]

44. Look again.

It's not just a "change of expression" - it's a change of the position of her head. It is VERY sudden and again, there is NO way a continuous, unedited video would not show the movement between one position and another.

[uppityperson]

46. I did and don't see what you say. We see different things.

[MFM008]

60. disagree,

My own expressions have changed that fast.
You can see him say a couple words then it changes.
There are plenty of other pictures from that day that show them looking like Charles and Diana in South Korea at the end look.

[still_one]

51. It must have been the camera from the grassy knoll

[oberliner]

25. There's no edit

Watch it in its full context - I posted the video link to YouTube below.

[dionysus]

52. Snopes begs to differ. Nt

[NanceGreggs]

54. So what?

[dionysus]

55. They analyzed it, and agree with those pointing out that you're wrong.

Others posted longer versions in context. There's nothing wrong with being mistaken.

:shug:

[oberliner]

26. There's no jump

Sorry - realizing I am responding to the same person three times, but do watch the video.

[csziggy]

49. That middle video is VERY telling

Watch the body language and expressions of the man and the blond young woman behind Trump. They were smiling until he turned around and spoke. After that their smiles disappeared and they seemed very uncomfortable. The blond woman kept looking over to her right, either at Barron (who is not visible in the clips) or at Melania.

Whatever Trump said made those two supporters very very unhappy!

[oberliner]

20. No it hasn't

You can watch it in its full context. It occurs right after Graham makes a joke about the rain.

[Chakaconcarne]

7. Don't post this crap... it's fake..

I hate trump just as much...but this doesn't help our pursuit to tell the truth.

[oberliner]

21. It's not fake

You can watch it in its full context online.

[Blecht]

41. Thank you for your concern - nt

[tenderfoot]

10. Another source confirms that it's real...

the trolls among us are going to have the sadz....

[Dem2]

18. Thank you

So sick of unsubstantiated rumor mongering. This video says it's real, and I watched the zoomed out version to verify it with my own eyes.

[tenderfoot]

15. Another "doctored" image

[oberliner]

24. Think it's a joke

Sarcasm.

[manicraven]

28. Look how cute President Obama is! I want him and Michelle back!

[Calista241]

63. I'm going to refuse to wear a red tie for as long as he's President.

[bathroommonkey76]

17. Which station was this broadcast?

There must be a different camera angle than the one's I'm seeing on YT:

Trump turns, but you can't see their faces:

[oberliner]

23. Russia Today

It's posted on their YouTube page.

It's around the 2 hour 10 minute mark.

[manicraven]

31. Definitely does NOT look like a fake at all. Melania's face literally falls when tRump turns away.

[oberliner]

35. It's not fake

You can watch it on this broadcast in real time.

[bathroommonkey76]

34. hahaha You can't make this sh*t up. lol nt

[DUgosh]

19. Another angle and a slow mo.

[.99center]

29. It's real according to Snopes

http://www.snopes.com/2017/01/23/melania-trump-frowning-inauguration/

How long before the gambling sites start taking bets on the divorce?

[Rex]

32. Fake FAKE!

[LongTomH]

33. My contempt for Melania has given way to compassion!

She's trapped in a terrible, and almost certainly abusive, marriage.

[JudyM]

36. Response posted: "He whispered, "Viagra tonight," and she puked in her mouth."

[Runningdawg]

38. The video is very telling

not even this forum is safe from "alternative facts". Honestly, I expected better.

[nini]

39. What I want to know is why isn't he PRAYING!!

Wasn't there a prayer being said at that point?

You'd think the bible thumpers would be crapping their pants about that.

[oberliner]

47. Graham actually made a joke at that point

Something about Trump and the rain.

Edit to add: He actually says that rain is a symbol of God's blessing and that it rained when Trump began to speak. This was right before he began the prayer itself.

[nini]

50. oh.. dammit

LOL


You can tell I didn't watch much of that.

thanks for the clarification.

[Skittles]

53. he is a creepy old bastard

[bettyellen]

57. Actually Ivanka does he same thing- beams at Daddy and raises her eyebrows suggestively and he could

Be looking at her as much as he is his wife- and as soon as he's turned away her smile fades immediately.
He has them well trained.

[pnwest]

58. It honestly looks like it's being played backwards. N/T

[MFM008]

59. looks like a 2 word statement

like shut up or fuck you.

[Luz]

61. Watch his cheek, his smile disappears immediately, doesnt

fade away naturally. I agree with you. Short and sharp, and he enjoyed it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

62. Was he talking to her or Ivanka? Ivanka raised her eyebrows and...

still looked fairly happy after Donald turned back around. She stopped smiling too, but she didn't actually cringe like Melania.

Weird people. I wouldn't be totally surprised if "DaughterGate" really happened.
