Pretty sure I've posted this before but it's too good not to repeat (and in comparison to most of his recent pronouncements this is relatively coherent.

This is an actual communique from the President of the United States. One day this will be in his Presidential Library.

Anyone care to predict (guess) whether Trump

"I'm an extremely stable genius." President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump 19/05/23

would make money, or lose money if he runs the Olympics? Trump's a Vlad Putin fan.

The real question isn't whether the Olympics will make or lose money. It's what's going to happen to the athletes and their team (coaches, trainers, etc) that are supposed to complete. Will they be allowed into the US? After all, a Venezuelan minor league baseball team was refused visas so they couldn't come to the US to compete.

And that's not even taking the fans into consideration.

"I'm an extremely stable genius." President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump 19/05/23

By definition a "stable genius" is simply the smartest horse in the barn.

She was probably good at it, which is more than the other Trump's can say about themselves.

Remember - it's not that long ago that she sued one of the UK tabloids for quoting a Slovenian paper that had reported that before she came to America she was a high priced call girl (BTW, she came thru the same modeling agency that Epstein and Trump used to recruit girls).

"First Lady Melania Trump" "prostitute emeritus" Greta #2,171

iirc during a GOP presidential candidate debate Trump insulted one of the other debaters by saying Trump's wife was hotter. I thought it in conspicuously poor taste, though quite in line with Trump's deliberately gaudy personality.
In my opinion #2,171 is as bad or worse. I'm no huge fan of President Trump or his America-hating policies. But I am not aware that First Lady Melania has been anything less than charming in her official capacity.
In fact, she seems to demonstrate good taste not merely by sleeping in a different room than the president, but in a different town.
Melania's life is tough enough. Insulting her for it undermines the insulter. Seems to me the issue is U.S. presidential policy, not gratuitous criticism of a non-officeholder.

"The COVID vaccine I would very safely estimate would be seen as one of the greatest scientific achievements of humanity ever." ...

I get the impression the Trump administration is not merely parsimonious, not merely opposed to further research, but deliberately regressive. Is there anyone out there willing to explain this to me here?

"Really? Guess you missed this. Worn during a visit to a migrant children's detention center." #2,174

I remember the garment & the wording. I don't recall the detention center / connection.
In statistical sampling there are many different protocols, including the sample size of 3.
a) I would ABSOLUTELY agree that IF the somewhat cryptic garment comment were intended as contemptuous disregard for the welfare of helpless / needy children, it would be an alarming statement worth including in her overall character assessment.
b) Perhaps recklessly wrongly, but at the time (Trump's first term?) I thought it might be a comment on her husband, or her marriage, or perhaps more generally a benign embrace of the Bobby McFerrin mantra: - don't worry, be happy -
c) Is there anything here we can legitimately consider a pattern? Contempt for the innocent / needy?

I also remember this: 250120c3.JPG ?
She stood husband Donald off at his second inauguration, his lips apparently never reached her on this celebratory on camera occasion.

It may be true that she's equally contemptuous of orphans and presidents. BUT !

Ockham's Razor, it literally was not the first Trump inauguration she attended. Not difficult for me to believe she prepared, right down to the breadth of the brim of her headgear.
And while we could assume it was purely personal because (perhaps) Don has bad breath, it may also have been a deliberate public smack-down.

I feel sorry for Melania. "Those who marry for money earn it." psychologist Joy Browne
Not quite clear to me why they're still married, except perhaps if she's bound by ADDITIONAL / supplemental contract (beyond the standard) matrimonial obligation.
Bottom line: the issue is Trump administration, Republican policy. Finding fault with the first lady seems to me squandering ink on a distraction.

No idea what sort of pre-nup she signed. And remember her parents are in the US via chain migration (a practice Trump claims to hate) so he's probably got a lot of leverage.
