You could argue she maybe expected to be junked around about now, like previous wives: put in a shift, get your parents relocated, drop a kid or two and a few years down the road expect divorce papers.

Fwiw, I very much doubt they’ll be _together_, if they actually are, for many months after this debacle of a presidency is concluded.

I agree, and I’m sure the divorce agreement will prevent her from writing a tell-all book about their time together. Normally he gets new wife fever about now and would trade her in for a new model. Maybe he still will, he doesn’t care much what the great unwashed think anyway.

Oh, Michelle Obama only loses the contest by a hair’s breadth but I still think she loses. Jackie and the others just aren’t in the running. I respectfully submit if you’re not seeing how gorgeous this woman is that your optics are distorted by politics.

Ahhh. Take it away! She’s looking like a lizard Alien just before it rips of its mask to devour the human in front of it, esp. with that smug smile and coldness. Or a Vampire, which she basically is (drinking Money instead of blood, translated to real blood down the line).

Hell, no, it “surely must” not. Not even close. There’s nothing “foxy” about clothing mannequins, and she’s about as attractive as one of those.

I would not like to F this M, not at all. _You_ may be OK with Trump’s sloppy seconds, but me, nope.

Nope. She’s much hotter. That’s what the ability to voluntarily move your own facial muscles and smile gets you.

It’s standard glamour magazine cover fare.

False face covered with false makeup modified by false Photoshop. The only thing real is the abject contempt for all she surveys that pours out of her expression.

I’ll be damned if I understand why rich people, male or female, think that haughtiness brings them fans.  
People that sell their souls for the big score discover that lacking a soul is no way to live. And I say that as a devout atheist. Seller’s remorse indeed.

Meh. There are too many people in the world with real problems for me to feel the least bit sorry for someone who didn’t marry quite as much money as they intended.

Well thanks. Now I’ve sicked up a little bit in my mouth.

On the other hand… band name!

One wonders how much the harsh spotlight of the presidency has restricted his opportunities to play the old Trump field.

Come to think of it, not every woman past her late 30s considers it flattering to be referred to as “MILF” and we do not know where she stands on that. It’s not exactly a chivalrous sentiment, is it…

(We do know her husband had no problem with his daughter being called a Piece Of Ass but that just reflects on HIS lovely personality. )

But it’s a free country (for now) and hey, whatever floats your boat.

I’d rather impugn Mr. Trump’s character since he is the one who keeps deserving it. Too easy to pick on Melania for petty stuff.
