In a Stormy mood': Melania stayed seated and stony-faced during Trump's 'faith and family' remarks

[pbmus]

First lady Melania Trump stayed seated and remained stony-faced during the president's State of the Union address during his remarks on 'faith and family'

She also completely broke from tradition when she took a separate motorcade from her husband to the address on Capitol Hill

She hasn't been seen side-by-side with the president since January 15, when the first couple returned to the White House from Mar-a-Lago

The first lady is reportedly 'furious' over revelations that President Trump's lawyer paid a porn star hush money to keep quiet over an alleged affair

She already ditched a planned trip to Davos, Switzerland with her husband, spending time at the Holocaust Museum and Mar-a-Lago instead

Since more details have come out about the porn star, Stormy Daniels, the first lady has limited public appearances and rarely tweeted

1. So Now We Have Both A President & 1st Lady Who Have Tantrums

[ProudLib72]

2. I think this is way more than she ever bargained for

She came to this country thinking she'd make it big, hit on a rich man, got married, and now all hell is breaking loose. All she can do is stay very still and try to ride it out. I don't feel sorry for her, though. I only feel sorry for Barron.

3. Who gives a shit, really. Melania has been bought and paid for a long time ago. Cry me a river......

[Tipperary]

14. Yep.

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. Their relationship is a little "stormy" huh?

No matter how many face lifts she gets there is always a Stormy out there someplace, she knows all about how that works.

[Honeycombe8]

5. She has a backbone? Who would've guessed?

It'll blow over. No pun intended.

6. If everything fell into place...

this could be the Paula White/Monica Lewinsky scenario that leads to perjury and significant revelations.

From at least the inauguration on, we can see this is a sham marriage.

3 more years of this? I don't see it.

[Neema]

7. I call bullshit. She's not furious, she's just using this as excuse to drop the pretense of

liking him. There's no way she doesn't know he sleeps around with any women willing to do it (HOW such women exist is beyond my understanding). After all, that's how she met him in the first place.

11. Exactly

Stormy Daniels is not the only woman who has had sex with Prez Hornswoggle while being married, each an every marriage

[Initech]

8. I would love to tell these people where they can shove their faith and family values.

[VMA131Marine]

9. She has to worry the if she divorces him

Trump will have her deported.

[Gothmog]

10. This picture makes me smile

[Texasgal]

12. She always looks like she is scowling

to me... I dunno...maybe it's all the plastic surgery?

[Tipperary]

13. The Daily Mail and du both seem to be fixated on Melania. I have no idea why du does.

The tabloids’ obsession I understand, sick as it is, but du? Odd. She has nothing to do with dotard’s hijacking of our country. I could not care less about her. She made her bed and she can lie in it.

15. Vanity Fair - Melania Trump Blasts Salacious Reporting in the Wake of the Stormy Daniels Scandal

I think Trump's followers must really admire how obedient Trump's wife is. Trump has sex with a pornstar shortly after their marriage while she is pregnant, gets caught paying hush money, then Melania has to go out and do damage control for her husband. As her statement makes clear, she thinks that the problem is not that her husband cheated on her, but that he got caught.

You could just imagine how this tickles the misogynistic fantasies of Trump's followers:

Trump: Here Melania, hold my tie, while I boink this pornstar.

Melania: Yes, darling.

* Knock, knock *

Trump: Could you tell the reports outside that this is all fake news and false while I finish up with Stormy."

Melania: Absolutely.

* Melania steps outside to issue a statement condemning the salacious & flat-out false reporting regarding Trump's infidelity *

Melania Trump was curiously absent this past week, as her husband traveled to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, although it’s somewhat less curious considering the allegations that have been swirling about Donald Trump’s decade-old affair with adult-film star Stormy Daniels, a.k.a. Stephanie Clifford. After The Wall Street Journal reported that her husband’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, had set up a shell company to pay Clifford $130,000 for her silence during the 2016 election, Melania suddenly canceled her trip to Davos. On Thursday, she made an unannounced visit to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., before boarding a plane for West Palm Beach, Florida, alone.

On Friday, however, a spokeswoman for Melania Trump aimed to shut down the “salacious & flat-out false reporting” she said was being spread in the media, about the Stormy Daniels story and about insinuations that Melania had dropped off the radar as a result.

“The laundry list of salacious & flat-out false reporting about Mrs. Trump by tabloid publications & TV shows has seeped into ‘main stream media’ reporting,” Stephanie Grisham tweeted. “She is focused on her family & role as FLOTUS — not the unrealistic scenarios being peddled daily by the fake news.” Clifford had detailed the specifics of the affair in an In Touch Weekly interview in 2011 before she’d signed any non-disclosure agreement, noting that Trump “quickly changed the subject” whenever she brought up his wife.
