Back in 2009, BO waited for MO (of course) before walking up the steps to be greeted by the Bushes. Then GWB escorted MO into the building first, followed by BO and Laura Bush.
Michelle brought a gift for Laura (most likely a picture frame, based on the box). It was the first time that anyone reporting on the meet could recall the incoming FLOTUS doing such a thing. She has grace in every molecule of her being.

Melania is just another one of the servants to him.
Funny how someone so obsessed with his image misses on such a basic display of his true character. Although, I guess when your chosen persona is asshole bully, this fits right in.

(12,419 posts)We must keep in mind that the man is seriously suffering from a narcissistic disorder of great magnitude. All along the spin has been that he will "pivot" into a normal human being. Not gonna happen.
The man all of his handlers hoped he would "pivot" out of is what they now have to deal with.
