What's Melania up to?

[Westfacing]

I'm wonder why she felt the need to make this announcement, standing at a lectern no less, like it's an important State occasion!

Seems a bit over the top - maybe something is about to break? She's known to have him an Maxwell a few times over the years

She reminds me of a shark.

The same cold, dead eyes, expressionless face.

Some of that might be botox but accompanied by the general lack of warmth and humour I think it is her personality.

Has anyone seen her film? I think it’s on Amazon Prime . She clearly adores Baron and her parents. There is barely a mention of Trump and I got the impression that she spends her days trailing around alone with security everywhere, thinking about her clothes and going shopping. It seemed a very very empty and pointless life to me. However she clearly does have a strong attachment to those three people whilst not having any real relationship with her husband. It’s all very odd.

Now now don't bring common sense to the table

I don't think her nose looks large at all. Maybe it was the lighting.

She has never been friends with him and she has never been in a relationship with him. Doesn’t mean that she hasn’t had his dick in her.
Nobody is going to claim in a book no less in America without cast-iron belief if not proof that it happened

She seems the tragic girl trapped in a gilded cage. I can't feel sorry for her though as she could easily leave but chooses to not.

She seems to have what she wants. Money, nice clothes, beautiful places to live .I don’t get the impression she has any friends.

Just go to certain parts of Spain and expect those born and brought up in England who now live there to even order a meal in Spanish, for example.

This keeps coming up. The Democrats could not release them because the files were sealed and under investigation at the time.

She’s in it up to her neck.

I have been in uk for 40 years and although my English is very good, my accent is still strong. I am tone deaf and cannot pick up new accents. Maybe she is too. I Don’t like them by the way so not trying to find excuses.

Her spoken English is fine! She enunciates words clearly - yes she has an accent but so do we all.

No smoke without fire ! Damage limitation me thinks

I agree. From the BBC:

'Melania Trump obtained US citizenship on a visa reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim", according to a report in the Washington Post.

Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1, external is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.'

It's blatantly obvious that many strings were pulled by influential people with contacts in high places as you only have to listen to Melania to realise that she is as far from being a genius as it is possible to be.

She was one of the people who amplified the 'birther' allegations about Barack Obama not being a US citizen so ineligible to be President of the United States. She is as racist as Donald is.

There is something lacking in Donald Trump, his children and his wife. They all seem pretty sociopathic, totally lacking empathy and any self-awareness. They are a crime family with worse ethics and morals than the Sopranos.

It's obvious that she is up to her neck in the Epstein Files and she is trying to get ahead of allegations that will soon be public knowledge.

Maybe she’s scared. Don’t forget Ivana Trump ‘fell’ down the stairs and is very oddly buried on his golf course.

I always assumed she’s just doing a ‘job’ - to ensure she and her immediate family got (and maintain) a better life. I also assumed she got access to Trump and the like via Epstein and further that this Einstein visa was a bit of a sort of euphemism for real visa. I thought this was widely known, but I didn’t look too closely and personally no judgement on that start at all - it’s not uncommon, though rare I guess to get to be FLOTUS.

I thought it was better (for the Trumps) not to really mention it - so people know but it gets forgotten) obviously the Epstein file saga brings it back into focus - but still I don’t think many would be surprised, shocked, or have much issue about the start of the marriage - obviously other stuff.

I only saw a bit of the speech but struck me she was being rolled out on someone else’s orders - to what end I’m not sure at all tbh but I don’t think it’s unlikely to be yet another stupid idea of her husband’s that no one can talk him out of.

I’ve heard since she’s shafting others, but not looked into it - it would be part of her ‘job’ to do as required - to my mind she’s improved her contract as in spends less and less time with her fella. But guess there’s stuff to be done still in there.

I understand Wild is a pretty unlikeable guy too, prone to ‘fibs’ so it will be difficult with 2 sets of liars to get any ‘truth’ still. I do think we need some truths re these dreadful crimes and start to endure VI men involved get held to account - looks like 2 women, and 2 U.K. stooges so far - whilst they may all deserve to be held to account too it’s wrong the rich guys just slide out of any focus - my opinion on it anyhow.

I think she’s deluded - trying to distance herself from Epstein, but married to Trump, who’s mentioned in the files more than anyone else, and a whole host of other atrocities under his belt.

Maybe she was told to say what to say by his advisors in an attempt to project innocence. It can't be any fun being married to that repulsive thing. she could have sensibly walked away with millions years ago so why didn't she?
Because he would have sought custody of their child? Threatened to have her deported like Amanda Ungaro? Or worse?
Look what happened to Virginia, who allegedly killed herself after not dying in a road traffic accident despite her spelling out that she was not in any way suicidal.

She came up with "Be Best" this is not the remarks of a genius.

King Charles is going to visit? That seems like a bad idea with the politics around it and his brother

I totally understand that some people can speak a second (or third or fourth) language fluently but with a strong accent. That’s fine.

But Melaniacwas seriously struggling with her vocab and pronunciation. She said “kirculating” instead of “circulating”, and “convinced” instead of “convicted”.

I also agree she looked a weird mixture of terrified and angry. On some level I feel for her, but like PPs, I also wonder about her moral compass if she can remain married to that turd.

I think she’s not bothered learning on purpose so she can tune trump out 😂😂

Their relationship is an arrangement.
According to info online if it's true he always said he didn't want to bring up his son, day to day.

She has her own apartment and the reality is she seems to be a trophy wife, wheeled out at the 'right times'.

She gets money and some kind of status and he gets the image of a loyal wife.

I watched an old 'Wogan' programme recently where she and Trump were interviewed, decades ago long before he was President. She looked very different, was happy, smiling, giggly. She's had a lot of work done to her face but her personality was very different too.

Even the late Queen Elizabeth is quoted as saying 'they must have an arrangement'- if you believe what people report.

Totally agree

I’m another wondering, why now? Puts it back in the spotlight.
