It beeps when she backs up!

[bgill]

O M G! That was my immediate thought.

[STARLIT]

Melania’s high lights are beautifully placed in her hair!!

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I thought the about-to-be-former FLOTUS looked lovely. Dignity suits her.

[CASchack]

I’m sure it was something very nice...not an iPod with Donald’s best speeches.

[defconw]

Very classy on Melania’s part. Maybe Michelle, was thinking oh crap! I should have something for her!

[CityCenter]

Frump meets Trump.

[RummyChick]

very classy to do..is that tradition? I don’t think so since Moochie seemed surprised..it was a big box so maybe some kind of silver plate

[gubamyster]

I’d like to see Trump had Obama his coat as he walks into the White House.

I hope Trump doesn't ask him to get a him a cup of coffee.

[Boardwalk]

Michelle wearing a belt...its too high to be on her waist so I call boob belt!

[rdl6989]

Yeah, Mooch doesn’t seem to understand people with class. She was very surprised to receive her gift.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Motorcade coming in. Someone asks who it is. Smart alec on FBN says it’s the press corps.
