Still no Melania...

I hear the WH Is going to photoshop her into some ceremony pictures, where they SAY she will be but for some reason NOBODY is allowed in.

What the fuck is going on, Donnie?

Beat your wife?

Why Melania Trump's vanishing act matters
The disappearance of a first lady means that, for now, the White House is playing without a full roster.

The infamous Howard Stern tapes, in which Trump explained the shelf life of women.



Karen McDouglal was one of the lucky ones...she was 35 in 2006 when Trump "swept her off her feet."

Trump was 60.

Melania, who was at home while Don 'n' Karen were making the beast with two backs, was 36.

That's kind of the reason why I wrote "making the beast with two backs" rather than "making love."

40. She attended the White House event for the Gold Star Families
Mon Jun 4, 2018, 07:06 PM

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-today-06-04-18/




A person inside a White House event tonight told CNN that President Trump made a light-hearted joke about first lady Melania Trump’s extended absence from public view, saying the media was asking: “Where’s Melania?”

He went on for a minute or so, saying the media was speculating where she has been. The President asked at one point, “Did she leave him?” before pointing out that Melania Trump was, in fact, sitting in the front row.

The riff was playful, but a bit awkward considering the event was being held to honor Gold Star families who have lost loved ones at war.

The President also talked about the strong economy during the closed-press event, a person inside the room said.

What role would that be? She's been a total washout as a First Lady. "Be Best"? What the hell does that even mean? She and her husband are completely unqualified for anything other than patting each other on the back and criminal activity.
