No sign of Melania

Melania Trump, a respected immigrant and somewhat absent former first lady seems to have had her position taken over by some awful Laura Loomer. Trump's reputation just keeps getting worse and stranger.

a respected immigrant?

Happygirl79 Sat 14-Sept-24 11:29:03

There is absolutely nothing respectful about Melania Trump.

Macadia Sat 14-Sept-24 15:28:22

A respected immigrant. I should have said a legal immigrant. Immigrants who enter the U.S. by avoiding border laws and processes are disrespected.

Macadia Sat 14-Sept-24 15:29:58

Main point of this chat is, who is this Loomer who suddenly is by Trumps side everywhere he goes and in his private jet. A groupie?

Presumably his latest floozie (I love that word!)

crazyH Sat 14-Sept-24 15:41:25

My favourite word for my ex husband’s mistress, now wife. The term ‘wife’ doesn’t stop me from still calling her a ‘floozie’ - so there !!!

However badly trump behaves (and we all remember his antics in 2016) he still has nearly half the USA supporting him. From what I understand (I can’t find a link) Melania has another man who she lives with most of the time. Do you remember the ‘I don’t care’ jacket she wore. She doesn’t care. Why should she?

There is a question about how "legal" she really was.

I don’t understand why people in the Bible Belt support someone with such strange ‘family values’.

I don't understand either Maybee. Think it shows how weird they all are.

Perhaps she might have been waiting until Barron was legally an adult in case she lost custody, which I wouldn't put past Trump. Barron's 18 now.

What I don't understand is the anti abortion lobby who won't allow women to chose but who do not adopt the babies born because of that lobby.

I have Mormon friends in the US. Their eldest daughter and her husband were not able to have their own babies but have adopted three from teenage pregnancies. In one case my friends looked after the pregnant girl after her parents threw her out, and then their daughter adopted the baby.

I believe the girl was re-accepted into her family afterwards. My friend visited her a few times after the birth.

Melania has been busy writing her book. wink

Melania Trump's self-titled memoir will address her position as the subject of public scrutiny. Her book releases this September.
On Thursday, former First Lady Melania Trump teased her upcoming memoir that will set “the truth” free. Owing to her consequential presence in the political limelight, Donald Trump's wife and her actions have often been put under the microscope.

The "Melania" memoir is set to be released on September 24, 2024.

With her self-titled book, “Melania,” set to be released less than two months before the November presidential election – September 24, the former First Lady is ready to take charge of her narrative despite her usual stance as a “private person.”

Who cares?

Chocolatelovinggran Mon 16-Sept-24 17:34:49

The daughter of a friend, working in the USA, was told by an acquaintance that the reason that Melania is rarely seen is because Mr Biden, and, presumably, Ms Harris, have a contract out on her.
It's a well known fact, she was assured.

The woman next door told the man down the road who told the woman in the bus queue……..of course

My grandmothers second aunt removed was told that Melania was an Alien but has now been zoomed up to her true home.

How bizarre!

I did not imply in my post that this claim was credible. Quite the reverse. It was intended to suggest a degree of credibility amongst sections of the American people
