Just like her POS husband. They deserve each other.

At least she has clothes on in all the photos.

Sanity Claws
(21,846 posts)4. All 4 photos are about her
She and her husband are two peas in a pod.

(17,862 posts)6. I might give her a break on this one
Not the it though, but her interaction with the Marine Corps is this. They stand silently ready to protect the President and his family.
I am not sure that the optics are that bad.
This coming from someone with many friends in the Marine Corps, and a proud Jr. Marine Corps ROTC member.

(6,212 posts)8. I would think a photo of raising the flag on Iwo Jima ..
would have been more appropriate. The photos she included look like the brave marines are just for show.

CatMor
(6,212 posts)12. Yes, the photos make the marines look as if they are subservient to the trumps.

fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)11. At least she was wearing clothes.

(35,427 posts)13. Does she realize that the Marines do more than open doors and hold umbrellas?
She probably thinks that they're some sort of butler service.

(34,133 posts)16. That last picture looks badly photoshopped
Look at the white line around both of the Dolts. It just looks wrong.
