They are the social media stars of politics: controversial leaders of the world’s two largest democracies who won power by attacking the ruling establishment and pledging to revive their national economies.
President Trump, 71, and Narendra Modi, 66, the prime minister of India, are also renowned for their fierce handshakes, so most expected a show of bravado when they met for the first time yesterday. As it happened, the handshakes — there were two, firm but not overtly aggressive — played second fiddle to Melania, the first lady, who upstaged them in a $2,160 dress by Emilio Pucci.
The White House had indicated that it would “roll out the red carpet” for Mr Modi, the only statesman with more social media followers than Mr Trump —…

Good, I see the Churchill bust in that photo.
That, my FRiends, is how a first lady should wear a belt.
That’s the MLK bust, I think.
Maybe you’re right, hard to tell without blowing the pic up in Photoshop.
Methinks its Churchill not MLK.
That is also a magnificent Washington portrait. It feels great to have a President again who is respected and respects the office.
Boob belts are back!
Now that’s the way to wear a boob belt!!!
I think you are right. I did photoshop it, and dug up an image of the bust from the Internet. They are the same!
Good Call.
Oh, I'm a retired tech writer. I saved the images if anybody doubts me.
Churchill...although not easy to tell without the cigar ...:)
Is Melania Trump a Gottscheer?

Or it could suffer a fate of being knocked over and damaged while it was being dusted.
Unfortunately, it will take years & years to repair.
I want to see *45* in lederhosen. :)

YES! I just finished reading “Clementine, The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill,” by Sonia Purnell. I absolutely could not put this book down until I had read all 391 pages. The book describes not only the relationahip between Winston and Clementine, but it also thoroughly covers the political times they lived in and his career of successes and failures in politics. Interesting that he stood, alone, just like our Donald Trump, against those around him as he warned of the danger of Hitler. He also warned of Stalin, even though our President Roosevelt choose to admire Stalin over Churchill which was a huge disappointment to Churchill. Churchill had his foibles but, in the end, the world had to admit that he was a genius. Both Clementine and Winston served their nation, most of the time under duress and the tragedies which came within their own family. RIP, Prime Minister and Mrs. Churchill. The world is still remembering you and what you did for freedom.
Our gracious and amazing First Lady is going to be someone young girls can look up to. Just watch her popularity grow as she stands and works at the side of the President. I hope that untold millions of women, like myself, are relieved that a strongly feminine woman can show that real female power does not come packaged in women who hate and want to be men. That power is felt most strongly when real women and real men work within their nature to complement one another and not to rule over one another. We love and support you, Malania. You are awesome!
