https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/politics/melania-trump-birthday-present/index.htmlWhen asked during a telephone interview on Fox & Friends what Trump bought the first lady for her birthday he responded with a laugh," Well, I better not get into that 'cause I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn't get her so much."
Gee -- What could he be so busy with that he didn' t have time to ask an aide to get a gift for his wife.
Watching TV , Tweeting, Cohen, Bob Mueller ??
Or maybe he doesn't give a shit about her.

Even husbands who don't care about their wives do that.

(63,221 posts)a nice bauble. Especially for all the shit he has put her through lately? What a selfish, repulsive pig he is. I really hope she can find a good lawyer and takes him to the cleaners. I don't think highly of her, but I would love to see her get the better of him and take off with their son.

(56,828 posts)In all that time on the golf course, tweeting and watching Fox & Friends, he never had time to click on a few links from Amazon to order her a present? Oh, wait...

(20,570 posts)No, he doesn't owe her a thing. He just wears her on his arm to prop up his pathetic insecurity.
When this is all over, she'll clean up on the movie rights, the book deal, the lectures, the merchandise....

(14,521 posts)It comes on the same date every year. He was on vacation all of last week, he couldn't pick up the phone and call tiffany's jewelers? or send one of his aids out to get something? He couldn't walk into the gift shop at his own hotel and tell the employee, hey pick out something nice for my wife's birthday, wrap it and send it up to my room?
He is the President of the United States. Any number of businesses would jump at the chance to hand deliver a gift, all wrapped up and a card for him.

(53,410 posts)to him. Lots of famous people shop that way because its impossible to go to the stores incognito. In his case he would have to take his security entourage and shut down traffic and the entire Mall just to shop in one store.
He probably never shops in any stores for any of his family. Hes too exposed to being mobbed or pitchforked or yelled at.
mercuryblues
(14,521 posts)Many celebs go after hours to shop. Pretty sure any store would have opened up for him, just for the publicity.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)My point is he has no excuse, other than hes fired everyone who would have reminded him or theyve quit. His daughter could have reminded him. Most families remind each other of upcoming birthdays. Or he just doesnt care and never expected anyone to bring it up.

Notice how none of the Fox-bots said, "Too busy, Sir? Doing what, exactly?"

(4,723 posts)Honestly I'm not surprised. As you suggest, he doesn't give a shit about her. After all, she's not him.

This an actual product available at Walmart.

It's bad enough he doesn't give a shit about his wife. But, even worse, is how he makes a point of telling the world.
