Nitpick: If you’re taking up someone else’s duties, it’s a mantle. A mantel is the shelf above your fireplace.
Back when Michael Cohen testified to Congress, he said the main reason he didn’t believe the Russian pee tape was real was because he couldn’t imagine Trump doing something that would make Melania mad at him. I suspect whatever’s in that pre-nup isn’t entirely favorable to him either.
But in saying so, you are expecting a normal human reaction from Melania Trump. I will save my colorful speculations about her Epstein connections for other threads but suffice to say I do not think she has any morals whatsoever. So if some dumb young blonde who looks like Ivanka wants to come along and wipe Trump’s ass and maybe take care of… other issues while she’s down there, so be it. It saves Melania from having to do it. She might still be jealous and shitty about it on general principle but all in all, I don’t think she cares. Do you?
I also commented on this somewhere. Certainly she must have had to sit in the space in the back of an SUV, not a trunk. I’m sure I could be wrong knowing this administration, but a trunk?
The state of journalism drives me nuts. One particular bugaboo is that they call every piece of construction equipment a ‘bulldozer’
The back space of an SUV is the liftgate or cargo area, but it is also referred to as the trunk.
…automakers are not keen on calling the storage area at the back of an SUV a “trunk.” Instead, they prefer more neutral terms like “cargo space” or “cargo area.”
Even if it was the “cargo space” and not an actual enclosed trunk, I think all of us will agree that she would willingly have crawled into an enclosed trunk with the spare tire and the jumper cables. Hell, to be near her Precious Donald she would have let people strap her to the roof or the hood of the vehicle like a game trophy.
