Especially in defense of the Eastern European partner of Trumpskin.

I used to think there must be a ton of undereducated Americans, on the right, that just don't know how to spell or use English grammar, and I still think that is the case for many, but I am more and more convinced that many of those commenters we see on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are in fact Putin's cyber army, who's English is not perfect. Together with the real American Trumpskins, they give the impression there are a lot more Trump die hard supporters than there actually is.

I've at times responded by calling them out as a Russian troll. Its great. Because if they are, then they at least know that this time they have been exposed, but if they are American you are questioning their nationality which infuriates them.

about how nice it was going to be to have a beautiful, ladylike woman in the White House now, for a change. Referring of course to "Soft Core" star Melania in contrast to Michelle Obama.

Spoken very admiringly: That woman could wear a gunny sack and make it look good.

Michelle Obama is in that category. She has such an elegance, a sense of innate style, grace in her movements, and the ability to always choose garments that flatter her in any situation at all and are appropriate to the occasion. Michelle absolutely belongs on the list of Best Dressed.

Melania, sadly, is not. It's not that she dresses badly, per se, but after having seen the apartment her husband decorated, and after having seen the porn photos her husband commissioned of her (and sold), it is obvious he thinks of her as his possession. Those shoes...

Best Dressed isn't some sort of prize that comes with being FLOTUS. I doubt Melania is much disturbed by this -- she has her hands full being consort to the Mad King.

Which IMO gives an honest example of political opinion of self-professed conservatives. The alt-right on that forum posted high-resolution photos of don cheto talking with al Sharpton and some other prominent black, to provide proof that he was not racist.... this was around the time of Charlottesville.

Imagining the extent of Russian or Koch/VRWC groups stoking the imagination of some of those clowns - it's clear that public engagement is required. You can't talk politics in public realistically so it must be done with humor and subtlety.

I guess I'm the only one who does NOT find Melania attractive at all. Yes, I'm heterosexual , male and while old still have an eye for the ladies. Sorry, she just is not an very attractive woman. Her fashion "choices" leave MUCH to be desired making it plain that others made those choices for her in her modeling days. But she herself ...............

Melania does not come across as accessible or even friendly - the clothes scream stay the hell away from me. She always has her hands in her pockets (to keep from holding hands with Donald?) and wears sunglasses way too much. Very hoity toity.
