Meet Melania Trump, A New Model For First Lady
Washington Post ^ | 9/30/2015 | Mary Jordan

Posted on 09/30/2015 4:55:27 PM PDT by goldstategop

So far in the 2016 campaign season, Melania Trump has shown more of her homebody side than her provocative one. She infrequently accompanies her outspoken husband as he criss-crosses the country in his private Boeing 757. She rarely speaks to the media, and she declined to be interviewed for this article.

Friends said she prefers to stay at home — or homes, actually, in New York and Palm Beach — with the couple’s 9-year-old son, Barron. On the campaign trail, her peripatetic 69-year-old husband, who is 24 years her senior, has said that Melania is watching him on TV from home, always supportive.

“My wife said something very interesting,” Trump said last month on CNN. “She’s my pollster, okay?”

Trump, who famously obsesses over his poll numbers, said his wife gave him great approval ratings, saying, “‘You know, if you actually announce, you’re going to win.’”

I read she had cheek bone implants, that would explain the weird eyes. Pics of her as a young woman show her with normal round eyes.

A smart cookie:

“We know what our roles are and we are happy with them,” she said. “I think the mistake some people make is they try to change the man they love after they get married. You cannot change a person.”

I’d like my wife to love me as I am. Its the secret to a happy marriage.

she’s a big ‘un, ain’t she ?

She's all of three and a half meters, I understand.

Her mouth, from her grimace is apparently too small for her teeth, and she's very near-sighted judging by the squint.

Not porn. I see more skin at the beach and swimming pool when I visit.

Porn starts in one's mind.

“Before she met Donald Trump at the Kit Kat Club in Manhattan and stepped into a glitzy world of limos and penthouses, diamonds and caviar, Melania Knauss lived quietly.

She grew up in one of the anonymous concrete apartment buildings of Yugoslavia when Josip Tito was its socialist leader and over-the-top capitalism, let alone full-blown Trumpism, didn’t exist.

“She never really wanted to stand out or be the center of attention,” said Mirjana Jelancic, an elementary school friend in the hilly town of Sevnica in what is now Slovenia.

Then she married The Donald.”

So you only want to see the picture, not interested in the hit piece? LOL

I read the article, my comment was directed at the posted picture that was too damn large for this thread.

What's YOUR problem?.......LOL!

I didn’t read that she had cheek implants, but I assumed she did.

They were unnecessary. She was naturally beautiful.

I think they’re questioning...like she can’t make out something in the distance.

Questioning: "Is that old dude driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?"

Questioning -- Guffaw -- I seriously doubt she has anything going on in the cortex at all.

A foreign born wife is a good catch...

For someone famous, she’s a very modest and self-effacing person.

People compare her with Carla Bruni, but they are very different.

Her mother brought the candle that parents lit at her baptism and she lit at her confirmation to the wedding so she and Donald could light it at their wedding.

Yes...she looks lovely...this and another occasion in a Carolina Herrera gown...only 2 x’s I’ve approved (...like it matters to her what I think).
