Trump springs news on Melania that she will give two or three 'big' speeches

Source: Politico

To Melania Trump’s apparent surprise, Donald Trump announced Thursday that his wife would be making two or three “big,” “important” speeches.

Speaking alongside the Republican presidential nominee during a sit-down interview broadcast Thursday morning on “Good Morning
America,” Melania Trump said she fully supports her husband.

“And I’m there for him every time he needs me. And I might join him,” she said, referring to the campaign trail as Election Day nears. “We will see.”

“She’s actually going to make two or three speeches,” Donald Trump announced.

“Oh,” a startled Melania Trump interjected, prompting ABC’s George Stephanopoulos to observe he “made some news right there.”


Awkward dinner tonight?

Well, it is. It’s, it’s — she’s amazing when she speaks,” Donald Trump said. “She’s an amazing public speaker so she’s agreed to do two or three speeches, and I think it’s going to be big speeches, important speeches, and I think it’s gonna be great.”

"Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. The Donald wants the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for him. Because it's his time. HIS time! Up there on that ballot! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we chose to not ride up my husband's bucket."

The Beginning:
Everything. OK, I'll talk! In third grade, he cheated on his history exam. In fourth grade, he stole his uncle Max's toupee and he glued it on his face when he was Moses in a Hebrew School play at a Hebrew School he didn't even belong to. In fifth grade, he knocked his sister Maryanne down the stairs and he blamed it on the dog... when his mom sent him to the summer camp for fat kids and they served lunch he got nuts and pigged out and they kicked him out!


She's going to steal from The Goonies.

into Melania's teleprompter.
Then she'll be "Fired up and ready to go!"
That's Melania's new catch phrase.

1. The news conference (that is now, I believe, ten weeks overdue) to address her immigration history.

2. Donald finally releases his taxes

3. Sarah Palin finds those examples of John McCain being "mavericky" to his own party and "brings 'em to" Katie Couric.

Idiotic. We'll see his tax returns before she gives three speeches.

This is from July, but she's been almost invisible since the whole plagiarism thingie. She had lots of room for improvement, but I don't know what she's done in the interim to get those numbers up. America just doesn't seem to be into her.

The fact that this came as a surprise to her shows how he doesn't care what she thinks and that he thinks she should do what she's told.

One could almost feel sorry for her.
