Fri Sep 6, 2024, 07:51 AM

Wouldn't she be better off keeping as low a profile as possible?

Of course, there's probably a monetary incentive she's pursuing. She's as much a selfish grifter as her so-called husband. What a pair!

Melania, like Trump is an idiot.

I agree, part of a grifting job.

She wants to be an influencer and make a ton of money.
But first she has to clean up her sordid reputation.

Good luck on that.

This woman was so full of herself. All the plastic surgery in the world, designer clothes that one outfit cost more than a low waged worker made in a year working 2 jobs, spending more than a quarter million a year for makeup and hair, could alter the image that is Melania.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is what this woman lives for!

30. Melania Trump said 'no' when given chance to call for peace on January 6
Fri Sep 6, 2024, 08:33 AM
Sep 6
Then-first lady Melania Trump declined to call for peace and non-violence as insurrectionists stormed the United States Capitol building on January 6, two sources with knowledge of the events of the day told CNN.

The sources told CNN that Trump’s aide Stephanie Grisham sent her a text that said, “Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?” to which Trump replied with one word: “No.”

https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/13/politics/stephanie-grisham-melania-trump-january-6/index.html


When confronted with receipts, Melania simply lied about what she knew that day:

Melania Trump says she ‘was unaware of’ Jan. 6 violence as it happened

Former first lady Melania Trump told Fox News on Thursday that she “was unaware of” the violence occurring at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, which is why she did not immediately condemn the insurrection.

Trump’s assertion that she was “fulfilling one of (her) duties as First Lady” and as a result unaware of the riot comes after Stephanie Grisham, who served as chief of staff for the former first lady, posted a screenshot of a text conversation she appears to have had discussing the riot with Trump on Jan. 6.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3569476-melania-trump-says-she-was-unaware-of-jan-6-violence-as-it-happened/


Melania, go away. We don't like you. We are not interested in hearing more lies or plagiarism from you.

She has zero morals.

She doesn't give a fuck about this country.

She didn't deserve citizenship.

I don't need to read M. Trump's plagiarized version. I may, however, tune into an interview or two in order to hear her explain which area of Chicago that accent originated in. Also, why would a native Chicagoan need to get US citizenship? I'm truly interested in her time at Harvard and her practicing as an attorney. The inspiration for her story can be summed up in one sentence: "ChatGPT I need a 90,000 word book telling my story like Michelle Obama's 'Becoming'." Then, she can send the results to Regnery Publishing and charge $250.00 a pop for Michelle Obama's story.

This is evidence that the United States and the entire fucking world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.

Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teeter, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything!

My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.

I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE SECOND of my serious thoughts.

These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Bakersfield, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.

Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.

I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously

This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.

49. A fashion tip, Mel -
Fri Sep 6, 2024, 12:29 PM

if you're going to wear a fitted checked suit, make sure it fits across the bust. Your buttons are straining to hold you in, which distorts the pattern. Any half-way decent couturier or couturiere can make a jacket that fits, even if you insist on checks or plaids. All it takes is time, money, and paying attention to details. Speaking of which, as short-waisted as you are, these tightly-cinched looks are not really all that flattering.

That said, are we finally going to see some of the photos from your runway days (and I don't mean the ones with the airplane), back when you were a top-tier international fashion model? Surely if you were that renowned some exist - or do the copyright owners want too much $$$ for them?
