Her name's not Melanie

Justcallmebebes · 10/01/2025 22:26

Do you mean Melania? And no, they look nothing alike apart from sharing the same look of devadtated grief as they're at a funeral of a loved one

DUsername · 10/01/2025 22:26

I was just wondering which Melanie - c, b or blatt until the op posted the photo!!

AdoraBell · 10/01/2025 22:28

Which Melanie?

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 10/01/2025 23:15

Ewww

It's like when it's revealed that Gloria's dad looked like Jay in Modern Family 😄😄

Well she had to have had some issues to marry him anyway 🥺

DorianMeile · 10/01/2025 23:18

They both have jowls but that's the only real similarity I see.

Itsthattimeofyearagain · 10/01/2025 23:18

They look like two old men to me, which they are. Only 2 years apart I think. Ewww indeed.

poemsandwine · 10/01/2025 23:21

One is more orange.

Melania.

I think it's a stretch to say that Trump has the capacity for an emotion like grief.

username299 · 10/01/2025 23:24

Is that the son at the back? He looks like a super villain.

crockofshite · 10/01/2025 23:28

I did type Melania but it auto corrected to Melanie

Omg they do look very alike. It’s like marrying your own father 🥴

callmej · 10/01/2025 23:44

You mean Melania? And no, they obviously look nothing alike.

You really started a thread to mock people's appearance at a funeral? Wow.

Yes that's Barron. I always think he looks like a softie. Not in a bad way. He just gives off gentle soul vibes ... not like his dad. He always looks so sad in every photo.

Could be completely wrong of course.

Maybe it's just the photo. He looks like he's plotting.

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 10/01/2025 23:54

They don't look the same, but there are some similarities yes...

I agree, he looks like he's been sucked into something he wants no part of (don't mean the funeral), and he does give out gentle soul vibes. Hope he takes his father as an example of how not to be.
As for Trump and his FIL, I do see similarities! Maybe it's this particular photo but it's quite hilarious.

I feel uncomfortable about using a photo of someone grieving at their mother’s funeral to make a joke.

titsmcghee43 · 11/01/2025 00:25

Using a photo of people grieving at a funeral for cheap laughs on MN is not a good look op.

I really don’t think “hilarious” is a suitable word to be used like this at someone’s funeral! I’m pretty certain that neither Melania nor her father were finding this remotely funny.

Using that word about a grieving family says a lot about you and none of it good, so why don’t you just go and crawl back under the stone you came out from!

DiscoBeat · 11/01/2025 01:46

If that's her father next to her at her mother and his wife's funeral then it's odd they're not comforting each other. Their hands are awkwardly hanging just next to each other.

Thank you. I'm glad others agree. This post is in really poor taste

Absolutely disgusting that someone thinks it’s ok to gossip about someone at the person’s mother’s funeral. Shame on you OP.
