... having to look sad in front of Donald and hide her champagne party for one when inside she’s thinking PRAISE THE LORD! I can get out of here!

@DaddysGirlForLife

I feel sorry for her because her husband is an embarrassment! Eek.
An embarrassment who just got the second highest number of votes of any presidential candidate (I am presuming Biden got the most). Trump has millions of adoring fans.

@MoonJelly

I have no idea. He does have a daughter with his second wife.

Oh, right Because of course that absolutely makes up for the violent death of a baby daughter.

Where did I say that? Confused

Shes just as evil as him she will be filing for divorce soon as h skint.

I was briefly #TeamMelania at first because I felt from watching her at his inauguration ceremony that she might be both most inclined and best placed to do what needed to be done.

However, she didn’t do it and he still slithers across the earth. So she gets zero ❤️ from me.

Fuck her, the vile cunt.

I think it’s dreadful that you’re all slating a woman you never met. She might be horrendous or she might be lovely. We simply don’t know!

She's a public figure. Her actions are well-known. She married a horrible man - for money as she herself pretty much admits - and she wasnt' a naive teenager but a mature woman at the time. She stood by him throughout his presidency, speaking in his support more than once.

Maybe she's 'lovely' but her public actions would suggest otherwise. We've never met her husband either. By your logic I suppose we're not allowed to have opinions on him too?

So should we all be perfectly happy that she chooses to wear a jacket saying "I really don't care, do u?@ when visiting children forcibly separated from their parents?

Where did I say that

Clear implication. If that wasn't your intention, what is the relevance of his living daughter?

I made a statement of fact. Nothing more. You have clearly decided I have an agenda where there is none. Confused

Melanie is not “lovely”. She married one of the most unlovely creatures on the planet, for a start.

Hadjab · 08/11/2020 14:04

She made her bed, she lay in it, she was complicit in all that went with it.

Fuck Melanoma Trump

MintyMabel · 08/11/2020 14:05

She's the first person he phones after a speech or rally because he values her feedback

Absolutely not. The one thing he hates in his wives, is them having an opinion.

It's more likely about the accent...

No, it will be because he doesn’t want her to steal any limelight. Things with Ivana went sour only after she became more of a celebrity than he did. His ego couldn’t cope with it if she started getting Michelle Obama levels of popularity.

I actually feel sorry for Ivanka. She seems like a decent human being and must be horribly embarrassed at how her father is behaving.

She is just as much of a grifter as all the others. Shamelessly promoting her business interests from within the White House, thinking she can just rock up and join a conversation between world leaders, the level or arrogance is astounding. She has done nothing for the women’s right she claims to be so protective of and is woefully ignorant about what real people are going through, her tweets on it are tone deaf. She was a member of the board of the Trump Foundation which was shut down for skimming money to the family’s benefit. She defends her father at every opportunity. Cut from the same cloth, the sooner she disappears in to obscurity the better.

@aramo

Outing but don’t care. This thick trump supporter has an LLB and LLM.
So? There is more than one way to be “thick” - as you are clearly demonstrating.

@Shimy

I actually feel sorry for Ivanka. She seems like a decent human being and must be horribly embarrassed at how her father is behaving. I’m imagining her begging her dad, to pickup the phone to congratulate Biden and drop all the lawsuits and get off Twitter!
I think Ivanka is canny enough to realise that daddy Donald has already scuppered her chances of ever being taken seriously as a politician. His childish ungracious ness and disrespect for the office of president will end up as her legacy as well as his. She must be spitting feathers. Not to mention that Jared is being primed for the fall guy for the campaigns failure.

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

@Lowkeevslucille

Why is she a poor woman? She chose to marry him and have a child with him.

if anyone was replying to her poster complaining about her husband on here, they would get abused and MN would delete the reply.

Why is Melania to be treated differently? Because you are jealous she is beautiful, has an amazing figure and has behaved impeccably? And is rich on top of it all? Bitterness hey...

@Lowkeevslucille unlike most posters on here who find themselves struggling I. Their relationships, Melania’s husband didn’t suddenly become an arsehole overnight, or even after a few years together. I have a family member who had business dealings with Trump in the late eighties - he says he was a dick then. She was a fully grown adult, who knew what he was like when she married him - there is no sympathy to be deserved.

@Huelva94

Though to be fair I don’t think she would have agreed to the draped naked over a fur rug photo shoot if she had had any inkling that one day she would be FLOTUS.

I don’t know to be honest but am willing to bet that Jill Biden hasn’t got many soft porn pics in her CV squeezed in between her many degrees and her PhD.

Huelva94 · 08/11/2020 14:18

You are right... We really don't know...

Having degrees and a PhD doesn't make you a better person than someone who had some photos taken while partially naked many years ago when she worked as a model. It just means Jill Biden has a better education that's all.

Melania could have had a better education. She chose not to. Her decision, as was marrying Trump, plagiarising other people’s speeches and all the other weird things she decided to do as FLOTUS.

I don’t think she is stupid, it sounds as though she has been smart enough to secure her own financial security, but I think , like Trump, she has shown that her values are not those that most people would think fitted the position as wife of the President. It’s not as though there have not been previous FLOTUS who have set good examples .

I think Jill Biden is a better fit for the legacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barbara Bush and Michelle Obama. It’s not an easy role, but others before Milenia have managed to make the best of it and leave their own valuable mark.

GrimDamnFanjo · 08/11/2020 14:56

Did Melania instigate anything as flotus?
I can recall many initiatives from previous incumbents but not from her?
