Trump Wants to Know: Where Are Melania's Cover Shoots? - no, not the Onion

Back when she was a full-time model, Melania Trump used to get the odd fashion magazine cover. No more—and that seems have her hubby a little grouchy on Christmas. “The greatest of all time. Fake News!” the president tweeted about the wife for whom he rarely publicly advocates.

Trump retweeted a post from Breitbart sharing an article about what the First Lady wore on her way to Mar-a-Lago from D.C. on Wednesday. “The elitist snobs in the fashion press have kept the most elegant First Lady in American history off the covers of their magazines for 4 consecutive years,” the tweet from Breitbart said. Melania Trump has been famously uninterested in her role as First Lady and has been torched for her fashion choices—including wearing a $39 Zara jacket with the words “I Don’t Care” on a trip to see detained migrant children.

Millions of Americans are living in poverty, Covid is ravaging the US and today there was a bombing in Nashville. And yet he's whining about his trophy wife being dissed by fashion magazines?

He doesn't give a rat's behind about Melania.
Except as pertains to what he can get from her,
or what she may cost him.

If you believe that already, no amount of evidence presented with the intent of remediating your ignorance is going to change your mind -- because you are fucking delusional.

I remember her friend that wrote the "tell all" book said how angry Melania was and bitched about it to her a few years ago. Knowing that she is still pissed off makes going to sleep tonight a little happier for me. She is as trashy and tacky as her tubby hubby.

All black, including thigh-high black boots. She was the spitting image of Natasha in the old Boris & Natasha cartoons. Only Boris and Natasha were kinda cute together, lovable partners in crime. Can't same the same for Donnie & Dominatrix.

And where was Barron as these two departed for Florida? Was he too ashamed to be seen with his loser father and style-challenged mother?
