Trump wrote mad letters to Alex Salmond in green ink.

I’m fully expecting Trump’s letter to Biden to be written in green chubby stick.

Yes, I thought Melania looked absolutely stunning. Probably, as has been mentioned, because she was so happy to be leaving and getting that divorce she's been waiting for 4 years for. I'm afraid I also rather tritely thought what a shame it is that she is beautiful on the outside but has proved herself not to be so on the inside.

Hello to Nobby.

This moves fast.

CNN tried for a long time to act as if it was business as usual in the WH but I think the journalists reached a tipping point a few months back.

Where was Barron? I didn’t see him- is he already in Florida?

Also, won’t the Trumps have to move out of Mar a Lago in 3 weeks?

From CNN

Melania Trump left a "short note of welcome" for incoming first lady Jill Biden, a source familiar with the matter says.

Melania is probably Trump's greatest achievement. She has a faultless elegance about her - timeless. Can't say that she has been terribly vocal during the term, but I suspect sometimes that English not being her first language might have held her back from revealing more of her character. Where is she from originally out of interest? Eastern European I think?

Melania looked like her feet hurt. How does she do it, in those shoes?!

Also her body language as she left the WH is every woman waiting to leave a party while her husband is getting the last word in.

To Washington A traveling circus came They brought an half witted donkey And Donald was his name

Then one great night
The US found its brain
And off he ran to Mar-a-Lago
And was never seen again
Ooooooooooooo...

Donald the Elephant packed his trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off he went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

Donald the Elephant packed his trunk
And trundled back to the golf course
Off he went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump

Fight set alight
He danced to the YMCA band
When Donald led the MAGA parade
He looked so proud and grand

But no more tricks
For Donald to perform
They banned him from twitter now
After he told the crowd to storm

The head of the clan was calling
Far, far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to judgement day

So Donald the Elephant packed his trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off he went with a trumpety-trum
Trump, trump, trump
Ooooooooooooo...

Brilliant!

You ever tried to walk on a lawn in stilettoes? Heels are spikes which will insist on digging into the lawn, so you have to walk on tip-toes. Can you tell I'm a slave to heels myself?

I can imagine Mitch McConnell to him:

You're gonna sit there. You're gonna smile. And you're gonna do as you are told ....

There is so much wrong with this I don't know where to start! So I won't.

I wonder if it is at all similar to the letter I imagine Michelle Obama left for her. She does have form for pinching Michelle’s words.

Ha ha - you won’t find any objectivity on this site I’m afraid

Pahahaha! I've never expected objectivity from you, poster-currently-known-as-Dongdingdong.

(You really are very recognisable, BTW.)

@Roussette

Susie Dent has been on the money with her definitions lately. They've been great.

Yes, I saw the footage of Kimberley blubbing, DonJR and Eric barely holding back the tears. Life will be very different for them now.
Good.

You mean Donnie might get arrested for crimes against fashion as well for sedition?

(He's been seen wearing 3 percenter embelms as has an american flag blazer which is utterly hideous and clearly a crime against the flag)

I don't think I've seen her look so genuinely happy in the 4 years I've heard of her. That was a genuine smile as she waved goodbye after The Donald's last speech from the WH.

🐿🐿🐿😅😅😅

Melania is a very attractive looking woman who usually dresses well and looks good.

She has achieved almost nothing as First Lady but to be fair to her it has never seemed as though she much wanted the role.

I've seen nothing to convince me that she has very different views to her husband or that she had any interest in public service.

She did look very happy this morning.

After being ripped to shreds by the media for 4yrs can't think why Melania looks so happy 🙄

OMG, woolly hat alert! Don’t tell me Dominic Cummings has weaselled his way to an inauguration invite!

I'm a new fan of Susie Dent.

You're on fire today too, RTB.

If you missed it, this moment at 8:59am is worth watching. The timing and TV production was just perfect. Trump takes off – Sinatra's voice on the loudspeaker, "yes, it was my way" – then the control room cuts to the Biden and Harris families at church – AC says "a new beginning"

What on earth she ever saw in Trump I really cannot fathom. I'm one of those superficial women who find money and power an aphrodisiac, but even I could not bring myself to find that man remotely attractive. What was she before Trump? A model or something? She certainly has the looks for it. I'm ashamed to say I know as little about her as I did 4 years ago - whether that's my own lack of reading about her, or her lack of visibility I'm not sure.
