(9,258 posts)Reputedly he told her he'd "let" her have a baby if she got her figure back ASAP. I'm sure the rumor that the divorce papers were drawn up and ready to sign but put on hold when the unthinkable happened is true.

Most women would not give the repulsive old fart the time of day Won't it be a shock to her when he is fined, and has to repay the IRS leaving nothing for her to collect? She certainly can't go back to being an escort, too old for that. Plus, I guess she was not too successful at it, since she latched on to THIS bag of crap so she could retire.

(40,203 posts)Is there not a single person in her orbit to give her common sense advice?
We know he is an idiot with zero social awareness so it's not a surprise he gave a thumbs up as if he were going to a football game.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)She loves expensive clothes and the way she looks in very high heels, and she's mostly just a private person. The phony posturing is all his. I suspect she really is basically what she allows us to see, and not a whole lot more.
ATL Ebony
(1,097 posts)Maybe she's incapable of making common sense decisions.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)I'm not an admirer, but I suspect those shoes are far more indicative of honesty than stupidity.
Regarding the latter, we should probably remember that she won't be in water in the airplane. She'll also be taking appropriate garb for photo op strolls along pavement in the rain--if she hasn't already refused even a brief one flat out.

(58,785 posts)Oh, well. She didn't ask for this. Can you imagine even half a day on the receiving end of incredible nastiness? She's not Hillary Clinton, she never always loved public service, and after all this she probably despises people out here in general, if anything even more than they despise her. With some reason.
Grammy23
(5,810 posts)She and Mr. Nazi Lover (note the khaki pants and white shirt) will probably be holding their noses and expecting red carpet treatment if they come within 200 miles of that fetid water. I don't know who advised them what an appropriate outfit would be to wear to a flood/hurricane disaster area, but it was clearly someone without a single clue. I suspect if they WERE advised, they ignored it and went with their own instincts. As usual, they missed again.

(838 posts)I've known my share of women who wore heels so often, their calf muscles become permanently shortened and they're unable to walk in flats. I like looking at a nice pair of heels, but I also think of them as a modern form of foot binding.
I still think this is a dumb choice for a disaster zone though.

Nothing says compassion and relate-ability toward those who have NOTHING and are struggling though feet of floodwater to try to save their lives than showing up in GD stiletto heels!
It takes a lot for me to focus on Melania versus my intense disdain for the orange cretin, but..... DAMN

They sure are not made for working in, and there is a lot of work to be done where they have gone. This is a crappy photo op and I hope the people of TX are not able to see it. (Or maybe they should see it and finally see these people for what they are!)

Staph
(6,251 posts)Trump doesn't bother to salute until he's nearly on the stairs to the copter, so the poor Marine has to hold his salute.
But watch to the end of the clip. After the rest of the folks are aboard, the Marine steps off sharply, squares the corners, marches to the back door of the copter to close it up, marches back to the front door, boards and pulls up the door behind him. I can almost hear the drum beats that he has in his head!
Semper fi, young man. Semper fi!
that was beautiful, Stephanie!

He will be handing out MAGA shit and he will bring cases of "Trump Water" to "hand out". Yes, there really is "Trump Ice Spring Water".
Most likely they will be taken to some very dry, protected command center for photo ops or to a remote high end neighborhood that has wet pavement and maybe a few branches down.

(51,550 posts)How much walking around soggy Houston can Melania do in 5-inch stillettos? Does Melania even own a pair of flats? I guess it doesn't matter to her since she won't be doing much walking---this trip is all about a photo op. And who flashes a thumbs up as they head to a scene of devastation? Such out of touch, self-absorbed assholes!

I just think of the spine being pushed together and the damage to the muscles. Now, what a stupid idiot she is. Another reason those suck for her is she is now tall enough to have to look him directly in the face.
