i have a recurring surmise that melania could potentially be a much bigger political asset to DJT in the 2024 presidential election than she currently appears to be (log cabin republicans? how many of those are there btw??).
before dismissing it altogether, give it a chance. melania checks two or three big boxes that her husband does not-- consider: women, immigrants, catholics.
melania also provide an eastern european perspective which might even be deployed against the ukranian war funding.
trump's achilles heel if he has one (and discounting ever present massive vote fraud, which is beyond this scope) is the women's vote. discounting vote fraud, we are where we are today due to liberal women voters.
in history, wilson had his wife. fdr had his wife. most presidents since fdr had their wives.
not casting shade, but melania seemed to fade into the background somewhat during the last two elections. i concede she was visible, and even could be considered somewhat active. however, was she ever deployed for maximum political effect? this would in theory include trump taking a step away from the public eye for a moment and pushing melania to the center stage.
maybe it has already been done and i just missed it (possible). maybe it can be dismissed out of hand as impractical. or, maybe it can be dismissed due to lack of support by melania-- in which case, maybe melania's devotion to her family duties eclipsed whatever political duty she might have felt in the past.
it's also a potentially dangerous step since if the liberals are willing to jail trump (or worse), they could also be willing to jail melania.
so unfortunate as it sounds, it might not be a purely political decision.
otoh, melania is (at least, i imagine) a naturalized american citizen. as such, she presumably now owes some allegiance to the USA. I'm not proposing that I or anyone else should presume to make such a heavy decision on her behalf-- it should always be her decision alone without any external pressure one way or another-- but the stakes are somewhat high right now, and if she wanted to be more active politically, I for one would not take issue with it.
Trump supporters are for Trump and his policies!
Those who hate him also make nasty comments about Melania.
Nobody was "for" Obmama or Clinton or Biden ( SPIT/GAG/PUKE ) because of their wives; nor against for the same reason.
And you're right, there were few details last year, just the reports of the renegotiation, papers completed, etc. but that was it if I recall correctly.
Your TDS may be incurable, so just go away.
And she has NO business being at any trial/s, than she has dictating what's done in the Oval Office!

OK, thanks for that viewpoint (maybe it’s correct, dunno for certain one way or the other).
Some items are not as horrendous as the others, I'll grant you that; however, they're still mis/illfitting, not appropriate, and she makes expensive clothing items look cheap.
> She is probably afraid she will lose her temper and tell someone off if they say something ugly to her...
very possible imho...
SPOT ON and once ( though I still do say it ), most Americans used that saying, which isn’t wholly BRIT SPEAK.
Do you look at her pictures everyday on Twitter?
I'm talking about the pictures of Jill that get posted here, which IF one is reading a thread the pictures are on, they're hard to miss.
And Jill looks DREADFUL is every single photo of her, that I have EVER seen!
Her clothes either are too damned tight in all the wrong places, too loose, too short, wrong for the event, too young, too over the top, too informal, mismatched, wrong shoe, wrong bag, hat or no hat when on should not or should be worn, lousy print, wrong colors for her, over embellished, lacking an accessory, needing an accessory, and on and on and on!
Have you forgotten the picture of her in a mini length whatever wearing HOOKER stockings?
Once upon a time, fashion editors of prominent newspapers called D.C. "DOWDY CENTRAL" because the wives of Congress Critters and the presidents and VEEPS were well dressed, but FRUMPY. Well give me FRUMPY every day, over what happened after that; especially Michelle O. and Jill B.!
Here's one normal pic of Jill I found through Google search.
She doesn't always look inappropriate or terrible.
Dimestore/bargain basement, ill fitting dress.
But, again ... that may be your style.
Egads 😱! I just saw the larger version of the pic, you posted, of fake Dr Jill ... they actually make a product to cover up all of those unsightly spots on her legs. At least on Instagram demos, it covers up spots, like hers.
NEXT!
And P.S. her lipstick is too pale!
That blue dress is very nice .
……
The thing is, Jane, dollars to doughnuts, that dress probably cost more than $500 and yet looks like something she paid $90 for...and I’m being generous.
It’s a ready-to-wear Ralph Lauren ... she wore the SAME, ill fitting outfit to King Chas Coronation ... paired with the horrid dish gloves she wore to the faux inauguration.
Someone either dislikes her, greatly, or is afraid to push back on her own horrible clothing decisions.
Fake Dr Jill tried a cheap knock off, only to achieve FAIL.
And Ralph always has had a quality control issue, when it comes to sizing! Still and all, that is NO excuse for wearing too tight or too loose clothing items!
Oh those gloves...that accessory is indeed a HORROR! BARF!
The draping is all wrong unless one stands stock still in one position. But at least the color is flattering.
