That clip is really something. Although to be fair (but who wants to do that) it is an edited clip so who knows what he actually said to her. It could have been anything from 'I'm going to knock the shit out of you' to 'You have lipstick on your teeth'.

Melania isn't a stupid woman. She'd been working as a model since she was a girl, and she'd surely dated rich men before. She knew exactly what she was getting when she signed the pre-nup. It's not like he whisked her away from life on a potato farm in the 'old country'. If he is abusing her she has the ability, the friends, and the resources to pack her ditty-bag and walk away. Unlike many women.

The date on that photo is hilarious. I like to think it was a deliberate celebration of the protests by the picture framer. Grin

I can't imagine it is that easy to walk out on the president of the USA. There will be a lot of people putting a lot of pressure on her to keep the happy family story alive. I don't think she could just pack bags and leave without a huge amount of fall out.

Maybe this is a dead cat? He's tweeted this mistake so people will ignore the pipeline deal?

InformalRoman · 24/01/2017 18:05

She may just have been putting on a serious face to listen to the pastor's blessing? Hard to tell.

originalmavis · 24/01/2017 18:12

Maybe he turned to chat up the blonde on her right?

BigBadgers · 24/01/2017 18:13

Could be Spartacus. It still makes him look an idiot and I don't think he would do something that made him look stupid. Unless he is less vain then I think.

I was just reading about the pipeline deals. They are giving deals to companies he held stocks in. Of course he has supposedly sold those stocks...I would be interested to know what stocks other members of his family hold though.

Would love to hear Trumps opinion on Gina MillerGrin

This is pretty good. Great in fact! Beautiful and great! Fact!

Probably. Grin

It looks like he probably made a joke about the rain, but then there was the prayer and people are supposed to be serious for it.

Mostly because the man talking didn't start off as a prayer, but it changed what he was saying into one.

originalmavis · 24/01/2017 18:30

That wasn't a serious church face. Not even a sombre funeral face. Surely as a model she knows how to pull such faces? Isn't it part of the job?

My resting face is normally 'angry badger' and I have photos of me standing behind our MD (he deviated from a speech I'd written) looking like I'm about to Maul him. I wasn't actually cross and was really thinking 'oh god that sounds insensitive'.

I hate this kind of comment. Think about just how hard it was for other public women to leave their husbands: Katie Holmes and Nigella Lawson for two. And Donald isn't famous for being fair to his ex-wives.
I'm sure there are lots of reasons Melania wants to stay in NYC.

Roussette · 24/01/2017 18:58

I can't imagine she'll ever get to the WH to be honest. I she can get away with it for the first year or so, she will stay in NY because the public will be used to that.

I hated the first dance at the Ball. He was pressing into her sexually, she was imperceptibly pulling away as much as she could without it being noticed. But far far worse was getting out the car at the steps to the inauguration and just leaving her to make her own way out the car, and up the steps. He hasn't even got manners.

After all, who'd want to face that fat disgusting slug of a man more than she has to. She'll turn up for official visits where she has no choice, then debunk back to NY. He shows her no warmth whatsoever, she just looks very sad and trapped. I'd put money on it that her marriage will last as long as his presidency and then she'll get out.

He looked like a dog humping the vicars leg.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/01/2017 19:51

If I were Melania and wanted to leave Trump my biggest worry would be whether I'd get custody of my son. Trump isn't exactly known for his reasonableness.

Roussette · 24/01/2017 20:07

It's like a media blackout going on...

"The Trump administration has instituted what it described as a temporary media blackout at the Environmental Protection Agency and barred staff from awarding any new contracts or grants. This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, photos, fact sheets, news feeds, and social media content," read the email memo obtained by The Associated Press.
and
The Trump administration has instituted a media blackout at the Environmental Protection Agency and barred staff from awarding any new contracts or grants.

Emails sent to EPA staff ban press releases, blog updates or posts to the agency's social media accounts."

Can he just do what he wants?

What is he covering up?

Roussette · 24/01/2017 20:09

And these departments too....
"Similar orders barring external communications have been issued by the Trump administration at other federal agencies in recent days, including the Agriculture and Interior departments."

blimey rousette.
He has way too much power.

originalmavis · 24/01/2017 20:10

Because the environmental fox is in charge of the chicken coop.

I want to see just one trumper on record saying 'errrr that's a lie - absurd bare faced bloody lie! Fuuuuuck, what else is he lying about?'.

Illegals voting for Hillary? Sheesh.

originalmavis · 24/01/2017 20:12

I think that he believes that the country now belongs to him and he can do what he likes. I hope to god good people are keeping a very close eye on this despot.

Roussette · 24/01/2017 20:23

Yes I hope so too.

Mind you..... a report like this makes me feel sooooo much better.

I think there will be more and more leaks about how he is behaving. If he is like this on Day 4, what the hell is he going to be like months or years in?

On Sunday, one of the president’s confidantes told Politico that his staffers have to “control information that may infuriate him,” a task made difficult by the fact that the leader of the free world “gets bored and likes to watch TV.”

This article is very very damning. I do hope it's true.

The EPA is going to be decimated because it stands in the way of Trump and his cronies making a lot of money - drilling in the Arctic, fracking, coal mining, development of federal lands.

Wave goodbye to clean air and clean water. It's appalling.

InformalRoman · 24/01/2017 21:18

Trump backs the Dakota Access pipeline.

Guess who sits on the Dakota Access Board?

Rick Perry, Trump's pick for Energy Department.

Trump signs pipeline off.
Trump orders EPA not to tweet or use social media.

Are they connected?
