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 believe they think she is stupid because of her very large brains.

Put her across from Putin and we’d get Ukraine as the 51st state!

One thing I gained from this article...

I would bet all of Trump’s fortune that he and Melania are both heterosexual.

Something I can’t say about the current First Family or even some of the candidates.

It comes down to character and personality.

Melania fits Trump in a way Ivana and Marla didn’t.

The woman isn’t a feminist and prefers not to be the co-wife.

I think that’s the way The Donald likes it.

One of the problems with the first marriage was that Ivana loved to party and Trump like to stay home wat h the game with a bowl of popcorn.

Was not surprised he chose a “homebody “!

She may be pretty, but she does ot know how to dress for a mid day campaign event. Donald’s children and their spouses were impeccable, but Melania’s strapless dress looked out of place at his announcement for the Presidency.

I'm sure that Himself, Laird MacLeod, will take your criticisms under advisement.

LOL!

She studied design and architecture in College...at a university that ranks among the top 3% in the world.

Do you really thing Donald would marry someone with no brains?

“I’m sure he’ll be bored with her soon enough.”

Doubt it. The guy is 69 years old. It’s not like he’s 40 anymore.

Also I always got the impression that Ivana was trying to be a controlled freak with Donald. That is why I think he just had enough of her and fell with Marla whom I don’t think he loved her. I believe he finally found his true soulmate and that is with Melania.

Expressing your anger, vicariously or directly, doesn't require anyone to draw his current wife into the cult of personality. The reasons for his attraction to her are obvious. To invest more in her than that is laughable.

In general terms, and across all parties from the beginning of American history, this desire to elevate the Presidents' wives [and families] into a pantheon of American "royalty" is genuinely nauseating.

Trump and his current wife are no exception.

Right. She’s got eyes like a wolf scanning the landscape for prey.

I like Trump but I don’t know about his wife.
