Melania Trump unable to leave hotel because of G-20 protests

[bearssoapbox]

Heard about this on Al-Jazeera about an hour or so ago. Just found a story about it. I'm glad they are looking out for her safety although, imo, the situation has been brought about by the PINO, Trumplethinskin.

It's a short article. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/340942-melania-unable-to-leave-hotel-because-of-g-20-protests

"First lady Melania Trump is unable to leave her resident in Hamburg, Germany because of protests against the Group of 20 (G-20) summit.

A spokeswoman confirmed they have no security clearance from the police to leave the guest house because of the protests, adding that "it's unfortunate," according to NBC News reporter Hallie Jackson.



Police won't clear @FLOTUS to leave residence in Hamburg right now b/c of protests, her spox confirms: ""It's unfortunate."

Melania also tweeted Friday that she's thinking of those who have been hurt in the protests and hopes everyone stays safe.

Thinking of those hurt in #Hamburg protests. Hope everyone stay safe! #G20

Other partners, including French President Emmanuel Macron's wife Brigitte Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband Philip and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau are currently on a sightseeing tour with German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s husband Joachim Sauer.

1. Sounds like a BS excuse to me to cover that Melania just didn't want to go.

My guess is that the disdain for her husband extends to her and she would just as soon not be there anyway.

[bearssoapbox]

8. I wondered that too.

It seems the other wives went out though.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. She doesn't ever go anywhere does she?

[smirkymonkey]

21. No. She stays closed up in her tacky gold tower apartment reading magazines and doing pilates.

She does nothing, has no interests - other than shopping and staying thin - and is basically useless.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Ok...put yourself in her shoes. He controls her every move. He "saved" her, right. He made up

the bull about her graduating with a degree in Architecture. She has low self esteem. But - she wants to help the "cheell-dren" - protecting them from bullying (her husband's chief trait).....

[smirkymonkey]

40. I will admit to still having a bit of pity for her.

I do think that she is an abused wife and can't get out of her situation without losing her son. Honestly, I just think she is trapped and never wanted this role at all.

[Atman]

2. Good.

Who cares?

[mainstreetonce]

3. So she wasn't with him?

Who did he spend the night with?

[muriel_volestrangler]

6. Apparently, she was with a "resident" whom she was unable to leave

Whether he was a resident in a hospital, or just a resident of Hamburg, is unclear.

10. In typical Trump chaotic fashion

his ragtag staff was way too late to book a luxury hotel in Hamburg. All venues were sold out ages ago in advance of G20. There is no Trump-branded hotel there either. Because there was literally "no room at the inn" the Trumps ended up staying at the guest residence on the grounds of some American attache based there --- I can't remember now, perhaps the Consul.

15. good one MV

[roamer65]

5. Too bad, so sad!

[underpants]

7. The wine glass must have knocked over the bottle of pills

[hamsterjill]

9. Yes, I'm a grammar geek, but I need to point out

Melanie's tweet says she hopes "everyone stay safe" as opposed to "stays". She does not have good command of the English language.

Sorry, not ragging on your post, but I don't want her given credit when she does not deserve it. I still remember the cringe I felt when she eviscersted the Lord's Prayer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. me too. would love it someone ever got to interview her and said - please say something

in each of the languages she is supposedly fluent in. Had a shred of sympathy but not after she defended him after the mika and joe bullying by her husband

Hey, what happened to her news conference on her full immigration history?

[hamsterjill]

23. Yeah, and WHAT happened to her campaign against bullying?

You are kinder than I am. I've never had an ounce of sympathy for her.

It was rather telling when she was defending him over the mika thing, wasn't it???!!!

In my opinion, she would have to be as heartless as Cheeto is to be able to stand to be married to him. I don't think she's a particularly doting mother, either, because I think the son was born to cement her financial security.

[MichMary]

36. "she defending him"

Hey, grammar geek! I think something's missing!

[hamsterjill]

37. Why aren't you just adorable???

Bless your little heart.

[bearssoapbox]

24. I noticed that too.

Considering the source of her tweet, it's expected.

She didn't have anything to copy from.

[hamsterjill]

27. When you're right, you're right!

And I'm sure that's right!!!

[MichMary]

28. Didn't see the tweet,

but it is possible that it should have read, "Everyone, stay safe." Totally different meaning, and quite correct.

[hamsterjill]

33. I saw the tweet. It was not correct.

Why defend the enemy?????

[MichMary]

34. "Enemy?"

1. If you mean Melania, she is not my enemy.

2. She is an immigrant, and English is not her first language. Willing to give her a break.

3. Suggesting a possible alternative meaning isn't defending her.

4. Just saw the tweet. I agree that my interpretation was wrong.

5. It looks like a typo, and I think only those who have NEVER made a typo are in a position to criticize.

6. Just sayin'.

[hamsterjill]

35. She is very much the enemy.

She defended Trump's tirade against Mika. She also brags about being "fluent" in several languages.

Don't muddy the waters. That is why Democrats lose. She certainly is no friend to Democrats.

[LittleBlue]

39. She's a trophy wife

The enemy? Calm down.

[hamsterjill]

41. Anything or anyone connected to Trump is an enemy.

I don't need to calm down. You need to get a better understanding of what is at stake for this country and the people in it.

Try having a little passion about things. It'll do you good.

[cwydro]

29. You might want to proofread your post lol.

Since you're a grammar geek and all.

[hamsterjill]

32. Freudian slip perhaps??

Perhaps I see the "plain" in her!!! I think I'll leave it.

Good catch!!

[ProudLib72]

11. But how will they see her $50K jacket?

Maybe she can hang it out a window and let them take pics with a telephoto lens?

[CatMor]

12. Or the $75,000 handbag

she took along as seen when leaving DC.

[ProudLib72]

20. I need a link for that

All I could find was a $13K one from months ago.

BTW: Welcome to DU, where we are always sartorially inclined.

[CatMor]

22. Handbag

a link is inquisitr.com
I haven't learned how to do it yet. Thank you for the welcome.

[Hortensis]

26. The Inquisitr? Fun place to look for something like this, perhaps,

but, well, let's just say it's known to lie, flat out, a lot. No link needed.

Now, here's the Washington Post on the $51K jacket Melania wore to Italy, picture too. You can pretty much take this confirmation of that rumor to the bank, and wouldn't it be nice if that weren't just a saying?

[Ilsa]

30. It was the black bag she carried while wearing the black

Long sleeved fitted top and wide-leg tan cropped pants with a black window pane design.

[Adrahil]

13. LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!

It's the most beautiful chocolate cake you've ever seen!

[dembotoz]

16. Sometimes when u book at the last minute

Ur room is far away from the fun
And reservations for the better restaurants are full

[Demtexan]

18. Tough

[AgadorSparticus]

19. This is what happens when you stay at the la quinta b/c you don't have

Staff to make your Travel arrangements.

And for once, she is secretly glad she doesn't have to go. How embarrassing for Donnie boy. Treated like a 2nd class member

[oasis]

25. Your hotel has vending machines on every even numbered floor, plus you

can always send out for pizza. So what's the big deal.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. The bumbling fools were unable to book a hotel room in Hamburg

thanks to waiting until the last minute and expecting "someone" to handle it. They are staying at a German government-owned "guest house".
