Malfunction of the Melania-bot:

"They need to be clothes that are visibly expensive, because that, in Trump’s mind, then insinuates the lady wearing them lives with a big man who makes a lot of money and that’s super important, because a man who has lots of money is guaranteed to be extremely smart and have an enormous penis and that’s a scientific fact."

you understand why Melania didn't make it on to the best dressed list (but Michelle Obama did.) The Guardian does snark like no other!

Start my day with Guardian's editorial cartoons: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/series/guardian-comment-cartoon

Don't know if you noticed it, but the Guardian became so overwhelmed with tRump's lies during the campaign, they started a weekly special piece summarizing the lies. They also keep their own Tories on their toes!

Melania Trump is just a side show.

She does seem to care deeply for her son and I can respect that. It doesn't seem like she feels the same way about her husband and I can respect that, too.

Yet she persists. I'm not willing to deny her agency for her own choices.

too. Look unwalkable. Yet she is walking. This is the Melania-bot's strength.
