Melania and equality

Spot on, gillybob. People are in lynch mob mode with regard to Trump.

That was another story I was going to highlight, yggdrasil. There is another, and a just as plausible interpretation of that quick change of expression on Melania's face. Trump turned and spoke to her during a service. She smiled in response and then realised that another prayer had begun and resumed what observers are calling her "prayer face" immediately, as one would. She also bowed her head slightly. Again, as one would at prayer time.

Much as I am as dubious about Trump's good qualities as everyone else, the prayer face interpretation strikes me as much more believable than Melania hating her husband. Plus, the negative interpretations, as the example above shows, are often taken out of context. Context matters.

....and lets not forget Melania is an intelligent woman who apparently speaks more than 7 languages. I can't imagine her taking any crap. not that I know her of course

Whatever you think of DT he really can't win can he?

He walks in front he is a bully and selfish.
He waits for her and lets her go first, he is sexist and treating her like a "little wifey"

Maybe, just maybe, he was so excited to get up those stairs he just couldn't wait.

It doesn't stop in depth relationship analysis or explicit advice on MN or indeed GN based on no more than an OP though does it?

I do just wonder though if you are married to the leader of the free world (sic) wont you always take second place or even further back. I cant really believe she has such a dreadful life anyway he is going to be away a lot which is a bonus.

I am amazed how some people know what others are thinking and what is happening inside the marriage of someone they have never met. Is this a gift or do you go on a course to learn it? - me, I don't even know when my neighbours are having a disagreement

Perhaps that is why she has chosen to stay on in New York, not their son's schooling.

He is a bully. I have seen behaviour like that elsewhere. See this clip

She dare not smile when he turns to her.
