DId he just push her to get up AF1's stairs first

[malaise]

OMFG - he is despicable.

[elleng]

1. Not watching, GLAD I'm not!

[lunatica]

2. ?

Melania?

[malaise]

4. Yep

By any standard he is no gentleman

[lunatica]

9. He's deliberately humiliating her

He did that during the inauguration when she was all smiles and he did or said something that instantly wiped the smile off her face and made her look like she needed to throw up.

I think what he did was blow a kiss to Ivanka who was right behind her and peering around Melania to look and smile at him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Oh...now I get while he added Sicily - Melania's going. Hope someone asks her to speak Italian

isn't that one of the five languages she is "fluent" ? call BS on that

[malaise]

23. Spring in Italy

great shopping for nice brand name leather bags and six inch heels

[Hortensis]

37. Wouldn't bet big on that one, Laura. She's from Slovenia,

and a lot of people from any of those countries from that larger area where Europe, Middle Asia and the Middle East come together are multilingual. Speaking 5 languages at least well enough to get along is not uncommon. I've known a number of people who did. Humbling.

Btw, it's not all that far from Italy, either, so I just looked it up and turns out Italian is one of the official minority languages.

[cyclonefence]

42. Is English one of the languages she's fluent in? n/t

[Hortensis]

45. Yes, of course it is. We shouldn't mistake an accent

for lack of fluency. And let's not let partisanship seduce us into the kind of behavior so common on the right. Respect the truth, whatever it is.

[cyclonefence]

60. Her accent isn't a problem

I do not believe she is fluent in English, based on the admittedly few times I've seen her on tv speaking extemporaneously. Partisanship has nothing to do with it.

My question was serious, btw. There are many languages in the world; she could easily be fluent in five or ten or fifty without one of them being English.

She does speak English, but then I do speak French. Doesn't mean either of us is fluent.

[Hortensis]

61. Serious, then. I've seen her in an interview, that

I confess I turned off, but looked like she was handling it. Of note, both her son and husband speak English, and it probably is the language of choice in their home. Hard to imagine him mastering a second language when he can barely handle one.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. funny!!!!

[Dulcinea]

58. That's absolutely true.

I can't speak for Melania, but I've had ESL students from that part of Europe, & many of them spoke at least 2 languages.

[spanone]

3. he did go first....

once a pig....

[malaise]

5. Yes

They were both shaking hands with folks and she was closer to the step - he put his hand around her and voila moved in front and climbed the stairs - a fugging pig.

[R B Garr]

13. And she was wearing spike heels, too. One wrong move in those things

and I would hit the pavement. Those have to be six-inch heels. I couldn't believe she could walk in them.

[malaise]

16. Precisely

She always wears them.

[Hekate]

36. Those shoes appear to be a requirement for Trump wives

[MineralMan]

6. Trump hates stairs. I don't know why, but he does.

He appears to dislike women, too, but that's a different issue.

[malaise]

7. So a woman in high heel shoes should be his protection?

Fugg that pig

[MineralMan]

8. I echo your sentiments!

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I don't think he dislikes women. He just sees them as useful when they make him look good.

They are just possessions to be used, when necessary, like cheap suits and ties that are too long.

[LisaM]

14. Neuropathy?

He may have a balance issue. I've seen him clutch handrails, too. Of course, he wouldn't admit it publicly, but this may be the reason.

[MineralMan]

21. Sure, that could be. More likely, though, he

has some problems with balance and stability. That can be an age-related thing, or it can also be caused by loss of brain tissue, as with Alzheimer's. Having watched my mother-in-law during her course of that horrible disease, poor balance was one of the symptoms that grew worse over time. Brain imaging showed loss of brain tissue in the cerebellum, which the doctor said was responsible for her poor balance.

Now, I don't know if Trump has similar issues, but he could.

[LeftInTX]

28. If that's the case, they should have "a plan", so he doesn't look like an ass

[lunatica]

17. He probably has a hard time climbing or descending stairs

I'm 68 and I find it hard climbing normal stairs, much less airplane stairs which are higher.

[hatrack]

30. Not surprising - he's 71 in 3 weeks, and at least 40 pounds overweight . . .

.

[lunatica]

33. I think he also has problems with his neck since he can't seem to turn his head

He always turns his upper body when he looks sideways, and doesn't seen to turn his head.

[louis-t]

39. I sit in front of a computer all day, and not as active

as I used to be. I noticed I could not turn my neck very easily. I started stretching and moving my neck to loosen it up. Lots of cracking noises but it seems to be getting better.

[Adrahil]

56. Stairs sap is finite vital energies! NT

[FSogol]

59. His hatred of stairs is probably because his is out of breath when he reaches

the top. His sphincter-like mouth can't draw in enough air, his eyes bugle, and some blood cells try to squeeze through his plaque-filled arteries.

Hope they have a double portion of KFC on the flight for him.

[itsrobert]

10. I noticed he did not return the salute to the Airman saluting him by the stairs

I will be waiting for all my "conservative" friends and family to comment on how he does not respect the military.


I will be waiting along time.

[malaise]

12. Too busy trying to get ahead of his wife

Sick pig

[itsrobert]

18. Age before beauty

Probably needs her below in case he falls.

[malaise]

20. I don't see those six inch heels protecting either of them

[R B Garr]

24. lol, it crossed my mind she wears them as protection...

oops, sorry I punctured your skin there, buddy, back off.

[malaise]

26. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[lunasun]

34. Imagine Hillary or Obama . What excuse will they have for him?? Let us know

[Yonnie3]

15. What I noticed was her smile.

When they were boarding the helicopter, her smile looked like it had an on/off switch.

[malaise]

27. Model fake

off and on

[HipChick]

31. It's hot as hell in DC

She got to be burning up in that Bright Orange look at me leather skirt..

[dalton99a]

38. The smile of mannequins

[luvMIdog]

22. He can't get it up anymore so his wife is now just an annoyance. He can't love others

Sorry for the bluntness, but she only had one 3 purposes.
1. To bear another child- he had how many he wanted planned
2. To use to show off to other men lookie what I sleep with
3. And sex.
She bore the child. He's still able to flash her around as a trophy. He can't get it up anymore , so she personally means nothing to him & he could care less about her. He's a sadistic man. He can't help but let it seep out.

[malaise]

25. Have to agree

Well she chose him so that's her problem. Still he lacks basic manners or class

[luvMIdog]

29. True.

[Yonnie3]

41. We were talking the other evening about his tweeting habits and

wondered what would happen to them if the butler slipped a Viagra in tRump's Coke one evening.

Would he be happy about the effect and that happiness be reflected in his early morning tweets or would he be frustrated and lash out in his tweets.

Our consensus was that we had too much time on our hands.

[marlakay]

46. I read she wanted the kid

and he made her sign contract she would get her figure back.

[kskiska]

47. I read that she was the one who wanted the child

and he agreed, only on the promise that she'd get her body back. She assured him she would - 100%. She's only a body to him. If she were to gain 20 pounds she'd be traded in for a new model (no pun intended).

[muntrv]

32. Reminds of this on inauguration day.

35. "Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump, I'll tell you. Nobody respects women more."

- Trump, May 6, 2016

[Sophiegirl]

40. Can someone please explain what happened?

I was out at the time.

[muntrv]

43. Reminds me of when he went into the White House and left Melania behind. The Obamas escorted her in

[Ilsa]

48. Melania will probably ask the Saudi prince for asylum. NT

[SticksnStones]

49. I dunno malaise...the clip they just showed on MSNBC

He actually walked with her up the stairs, side by side, and he gestured to her to enter the plane first...I was quite surprised- seemed out of character for him...

Are you referring to them boarding the helicopter, Marine 1? That clip I haven't seen ...


The AF1 boarding looked as though someone told him to stop being a jerk because he actually did it correctly I thought.

[malaise]

50. He walked up the stairs of AF1 ahead of her

I didn't see who entered the aircraft first and if he paused for her to enter first. He did walk ahead of her up the stairs.

[GallopingGhost]

52. Remember how President Obama

used to always walk protectively behind Michelle, and make sure she was safely on, and turned and smiled and waved?

I feel heartsick, missing the days when we had adults with class and intelligence in the WH. Not the people running Clusterfuck Central.

54. Thanks for posting the video.

This post and most of the replies are total garbage.

There are more than enough reasons to call Trump out.

There are more than enough reason to dislike Trump !!!!

People should not be making false statements.

[tblue37]

55. He always goes way ahead and leaves her behind:

57. He was telling her how nice Putin's puppeteer hands feel, and his are smaller, so it will be nicer.
