Today it’s Memorial Day for MLK in the US overshadowed by the TRUMP Inauguration … wonder what he would think of US politics …

Michelle should have been by his side.

She has more decency and integrity in her little finger than Trump and his gleeful fans will ever have.

His rhetoric is the stuff of nightmares.

Syracute agree with everything you've said!

imaround Mon 20-Jan-25 17:46:33

That was rude.

I hope your children never have to test your theory. Mine, unfortunately, likely will.

And FFS, who cares about what Melania is wearing

Are we not allowed to compliment a woman who has dressed elegantly and appropriately for the occasion?

RosiesMaw2 Mon 20-Jan-25 17:47:05

The Rabbi was seriously scary

GrannyGravy13 Mon 20-Jan-25 17:47:58

I think FLOTUS Trump looked stunning and appropriate for the occasion.

He was indeed,

merlotgran - you can compliment a woman for what she is wearing if you want. And I can say it is totally irrelevant in this warmongering, theratening, scary context.

Posts crossed- my comment was about the Rabbi.

Where are the men in white coats !

OMG who is this man on this minute.

Well, quite a few of us on GN actually.

It's not rude! Do some actual research. Not left wing articles.

The BMJ has an excellent article. These anti abortion activists are not going to be listened to.

But if you want to believe that states in USA will be executing women who have abortions, that's up to you.

I've found the whole performance quite horrific. I can't remember other inaugurations. We're they all this bad?

Had to mute him- he just did not know when to stop.
And Jeff Bezos needs to learn how to behave during a prayer or benediction- the camera will seek you out.
Clive Myrie's interruption was in poor taste and bad practice too.

Melania looks amazing. As always. People have been showing an interest in what the First Lady wears for decades.

No harm in it at all

Nanicky Mon 20-Jan-25 17:55:36

beel6B... Yes so true... Love Michelle, and yes the stuff of nightmares.

Mamardoit Mon 20-Jan-25 17:56:34

Sorry were.

LizzieDrip Mon 20-Jan-25 18:03:43

Well MAGA supporters, looks like you’re about to get what you voted for!

God help you - and the rest of us too.

Shades of Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

The pioneers were Irish , Polish , German English Scots , he needs to refresh his history

I said exactly the same thing 🤔

I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything's going Trump’s way…

Well there is nothing beautiful about a convicted felon being elected President . Surrounded by billionaire tech bros . No average Joe ‘s in attendance and if you didn’t notice a sea of white people . A travesty on Martin Luther Kings day . Nope nothing to celebrate here ! A day of shame , really !

Obama's wife should have been there. I wonder if he considered taking someone else or didn't mind walking in on his own.

Melania looked very classy as she always does.

Kate1949 Mon 20-Jan-25 18:11:56

God saved him to make America great again. Heaven help us all. He is a mad man.

J52 Mon 20-Jan-25 18:12:26

It’s a pity that when he spoke of God saving his life after the assassination attempt, he couldn’t have paid tribute to those who died.
Disgraceful in so many ways.

Utter nonsense ! All recent First Ladies have worn designers featuring America’s designers . Ridiculous statement . I didn’t see the point of wearing a hat that hid half of Melanie’s face .
