Melania is meaningless, in the grand scheme of things

Nothing she does is important to the Trump presidency.

Right now she seems to exist as a projection of our own thoughts and feelings about the Trump presidency, but she clearly does not want to have much to actively do with it.

While I feel slightly sorry for her, she choose to marry this man, and has to accept the consequences of this action. She affects nothing, though, so all this energy speculating about her is essentially wasted.

It's been 3 weeks
That's weird
What if that becomes 3 months?
Or longer
An explanation is eventually needed
What used to be paranoia should be caution with these clown

This is an indicator of Dump's mental state if she has gone off the "program" for the time being with threats to do real harm unless and until her parents and sister become full citizens in a chain migration gimme. Then it is important as to how he operates under extreme personal pressure.

Personally, I think she truly hates the position of Flotus, and is limited in those assumed duties. She loves to spend time with Barron and her family and shop and pal with like-minded friends without any scrutiny. Then do her armpiece thing in what she hopes are glamorous turns now and then to keep the prenup valid.

They were together for some years before marriage and she has lasted well past her sell by date compared to his other two wives.

Once her relatives get what they want - she could make another agreement that protects herself, Barron and family to keep her from "writing "a tell-all.

She's with us forever. Anyway, I'm getting a little worried about her safety. I'd like to know.

"A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Our *resisting* is a montage of high and low facets, storming barricades that matter and petty sniping that might smart. This person might be in the latter but she married him, she encouraged him to run, she collaborates whether minimally or more, she's fair game. Do we really need to state the obvious about what Hillary and Michelle have been subjected to?

Hopefully this candle will not burn much longer. His, not hers. Personally, I hope she gets her freedom because whatever evil she has done, I believe she has served her time. Nothing could be worse than being married to that monster.

and her remarks at the 2016 Republican convention were suspiciously similar to Michelle Obama's at the Democratic National Convention. She is an integral part of the Trump bullshit factory. That makes her fair game.

Yeah we know it's not 100% word for word copy of Michelle's speech but it's FUCKING close enough to be considered plagerism IMO. It's never been needed to be an exact word for word copy.

Except for the grand scheme of things itself, and I'm not sure of that.
