What we learned about Melania Trump from her first international trip (Surprisingly fair for them)

As the overseas debut of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump draws to a close -- the couple is set to return to Washington this weekend -- there was the usual bluster and bravado from the President.

His white-knuckled handshake with France's new president made headlines. The speech to NATO was memorable, as was his brusque, push-aside of the leader of Montenegro to make his way to the front of a pack of world leaders. It was classic, unadulterated Trump, a man the country has come to know for all of the above quirks, mannerisms and machismo.

But this trip was especially telling about Melania Trump, a first lady about whom the country is still learning, four months into her husband's administration.

From the moment she stepped off the plane in Saudi Arabia, it was clear she had given thought to her wardrobe, using the fashion diplomacy tactic that worked so well for her predecessor, Michelle Obama. Her flowing black jumpsuit, by designer Stella McCartney, looked consciously similar to an abaya, the traditional robe garments worn by Muslim women in the region. In Israel, she donned white, a color considered by some Jews to be sacred, and a symbol of purity and peace. To meet the Pope, it was formal black lace with head veil. For Brussels, she donned a tan suit made by a Belgian designer and in Italy, both the Rome and Sicily legs, Trump stuck to outfits by the Italian fashion house of Dolce & Gabbana.....

They think (and wish) that she is going to divorce him.

They think she will turn.

This is their level of delusional psychosis.

"I think the fact that they are the only first couple to live apart is telling," says Brower. "They live separate lives, and don't put on a show to make it seem as if they don't."

As if the Clintons actually live together.

Fair?

When the media asked if Donald has stopped beating his wife, it is necessary that the public have empathy for the wife.

One reason Bill could get away with what he did is that people rationalized: “Well, what would you do if you were with her?”

“”it was clear she had given thought to her wardrobe, using the fashion diplomacy tactic that worked so well for her predecessor, Michelle Obama””

I’m sure that was the last thing on her mind. THAT one NEVER stepped off a plane with people saying “AHHHHHH!” It was more like “UGHHHHHHH!” Never could get the image of those short shorts worn at the Grand Canyon out of my head or the panty lines....Certainly not formal affairs but hey - she didn’t care she looked like a bag lady so why should we?

Bookmarking to read. So far, unbelievable that CNN did a positive article. Guess it’s just the results of being exposed to her soulful gaze.
