She showed up to promote “Be Best v2”. Still stupid as shit. Still married to the loudest cyberbully in the world. If you need a reference, check out Trump’s recent Truth about Taylor Swift. ---

Or the one about/to Bruce Springsteen. Threats and everything. > **[Bruce Springsteen speaks out on Trump again: 'They're persecuting people for...](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2025-05-17/bruce-springsteen-president-trump-manchester-concert)** > > During the second show of his "Land of Hopes and Dreams" tour in Manchester, England, the rocker spoke out against Trump again, a day after the president criticized him on social media. Trump’s Truth Social post contained what appeared to be a threat, writing of Springsteen, “We’ll see how it goes for him,” when he gets back to the country. This did not dissuade the “Born in the USA” singer. ---

Yep. Cyberbully in Chief. That is why it is hilarious that Melania is promoting anti-cyberbullying or whatever the fuck “be best” is supposed to beyond an idiotic thing a 5 year old would think up. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Laura Bush was behind the scenes but as a former school librarian worked on literacy. In 2002 she was invited by a college friend to attend the grand reopening of our city library here in Topeka, Kansas. I worked at the library cafe and the leaseing agreement said that any catered event held at the library had to be served by us. It was well over 500 people attending the gala and I never had worked harder in my life preparing for this. The day before and the day of the event I worked thirth six hours and that wasn’t even all the prepping. I never even got a chance to see her. Mrs. Bush stayed at the home of her friend and we sent over sampler platters of food as she didn’t get a chance to graze the buffet, she was too busy having to do meet and greet. My boss said she came down to thank him for all the work and when he came back he said “I saw her in her housecoat!” ---

Either Melania or Taylor could kick his ass with one hand tied behind their back. I suspect on some sort of lizard brain level, he knows this. Bruce plays 3 hour long live concerts. He could kick all their asses. ---

> [@Loggins](#): > > If Swift wasnt “hot anymore”, does that mean she was hot (before)? Eww poor Melania Melania stepped in the pile of dog shit when it was in full view. I certainly won’t feel sorry for her. She’s a gold digger, plain and simple. Trump just tries to insult people whenever he can. And it’s laughable, his insecurities are on full view. Makes him feel like a big boy, and he doesn’t have jack shit otherwise. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > She’s a gold digger, plain and simple. I am inclined to think that is unfair to Melania. In my opinion, she’s a professional under contract. She’s living up to the terms of the contract by doing the bare minimum she can get away with, but she probably isn’t very highly motivated either. ---

That staute of her in her hometown…it is so bad it makes me wonder if it was made that way purposely as a low-key insult. I can imagine the locals hating to look at it just because it is so stupid. ---
