2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTrump on Melania's post pregnancy weight!
I enthused that Melania, who stood quietly nearby aboard 5-inch stilettos, had lost all her baby weight. Trump corrected me: Shes almost lost all the baby weight.
I was embarrassed for the mother of his youngest kid, who ignored the dig. Trump staffers asked a photographer and me to put sterile cotton booties over our shoes so as not to sully the carpet. It was time to get the hell out of the loony bin.

(56,828 posts)If somebody tells you that your wife has lost all her pregnancy weight, you don't say, "almost all of it," you say, "My wife looks great" or "she always looks great" or something like that. That's a major league asshole comment.

(5,611 posts)Her total absence from the campaign is a big sign that something is very, very wrong. She needs to get out of there.

A germophobe forced to shake hands with the unwashed masses? He'll either refuse, or look so awkward and terrified his neurosis will be evident for all to see.
Just a thought.

(3,335 posts)Eric shook his hand. I said whats that all about. Who shakes their father's hand? Ivanka came up along side him and just stood there. I know that Trumps a germaphobe, but I thought to myself, they don't hug each other or show any type of affection. Not even Melania. I have 3 grown children, two of them are married. Youngest is 27 and has a girlfriend. None live at home. We see each other often, and we all hug and kiss Hello, and Goodbye; Good Morning and Good Night if we're staying over at their place or they at ours. We even hugged and told the girlfriends and boyfriends we loved them before they were married. And we hug and kiss the In-Laws as well. It's nice to see all the people we have influenced who when we met them, were not comfortable with hugs and kisses, and I Love You. Now everyone is and it's nice to see them that way with their own families as a result. I wasn't always that affectionate, but my husband's family was. My husband told me when I met him that he never missed a opportunity to tell his family he loved them. He said you never know when the last time you'll see them, and I want my family to know that they are loved. It stuck with me and that's how we raised our kids.

(51,550 posts)And so true about the handshake. I don't think I have ever shaken either parent's hand. It was always a hug. Always. And often.
And notice how Trump kisses Melania on the cheek? I never kiss my spouse on the cheek. My son, yes, but not my spouse. I kiss my spouse on the lips; it's not always an involved French Kiss, often it's just a quick smack, but it's on the lips.

(2,008 posts)Also, the only way Melania "writes" a juicy book is as a widow. I gather non-disparagement clauses were in both his exes' divorce settlements, hence the lack of tell-alls from Ivana and Marla.

EDIT: I'm not surprised at all that he never changed a diaper! He thinks it's "beneath" him, even when they're his own kids!

Has there ever been a TV show that showed the converse? I can't think of any right now except maybe The Jeffersons.
