At the Keeping Families Together Rally in Englewood, NJ today, I met the attorney handling Melania

and her parents' immigration to this country. https://newjerseyglobe.com/local/melanias-immigration-lawyer-slams-trump/

He said that Melania was quite upset about her husband's policies and let him know it.

Now, assuming that he's telling the truth, that goes back to my contention 10 days ago that Melania did not choose to wear the jacket that said "I really don't care". I think what her attorney said about her would make it a contradiction for her to claim to the world she doesn't care. And it was Trump's message, not hers.

What? She's so weak that she doesn't have the courage to say no?

of course. He's a cruel man who threatened to take Jr away from Ivana during their divorce. (He didn't want Jr and discarded the Jr card when Ivana called his bluff.)

Otoh, Melania has said she's a strong woman and no one should see her as a victim and feel sorry for her. I strongly doubt she has any strength of principle, but maybe she's good at bending without breaking and that's what she means.

At least 250 people besides me know this. Plus, look at the article.

she has chosen where she stands. She is the epitome of I don't care. She stands by him as he yanks babies breast feeding from their mother. As she bathes her kid in caviar and wears a jacket that says I don't care. Those 2 craven assholes deserve each other. Fuck 'em
