It was First Lady Melania Trump’s idea to spurn the press as Trump sought to show defiance after Mueller’s report, people briefed on the matter said.

3. Approve of how he takes credit for a system that was alive and well and recovering for

almost 10 full years. Thanks Obama.

[groundloop]

10. I'd like to see him boil, actually.

[Me.]

4. Nothing Is Going To Be Over By Monday

this is only the end of the beginning as is being said

[Grasswire2]

39. I would fire a reporter who wrote that.

Or an editor who let it stand.

[Maeve]

5. Who is fool enough to tell him the negative stories will be over by Monday???

Oh, howdy! This is no where NEAR the end of the negative stories!

[SunSeeker]

6. Reality popped his bubble of lies.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

[Chin music]

11. On hail no...The Cloak of Indifference again???

It's one thing to wear it, but, you have to roll a 6 to make it work.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. K&R.

“We cloak ourselves in cold indifference to the unnecessary suffering of others - even when we cause it.”

James Carroll

[Chin music]

9. Does it have anything printed on it?

NOYTA CCCP maybe?

[smirkymonkey]

41. I want to know what this woman has against sleeves?

Look Melania, either wear the coat or don't wear the coat, but you look like an idiot with it draped over your shoulders like that.

[llmart]

12. How do they know it was her idea?

Unless she said, "Doneld deerest, you need to shut your big fat mouth" loud enough for someone to hear.

He probably forced her to hold his hand. The front page picture doesn't look like he even realizes she's behind him.

Honestly, these two dimwits are the worst ever President and First Lady. How could we go from the best ever First Family to this? I want to scream!

[Scarsdale]

25. As a comment was made here

"Anyone can download naked photos of the first "lady", but nobody is allowed to see tRump's taxes" How very, very low this country has sunk. The gop is afraid to drain the swamp, since they will all be exposed.

[jcgoldie]

15. Quick somebody get the first toddler a sack of cheeseburgers

...before he throws a tantrum.

[Kali]

16. nice upholstry fabric there, melanie

[Hugin]

30. Dang it, she went to grab her jacket and grabbed the duvet instead.

Don't tell me you've never done that!

[Chin music]

35. +1

[Gore1FL]

17. WTF was this line:

"People close to him hope he realizes that the report isn’t crippling and the negative stories will largely end by Monday."

It better not "largely end by Monday."

[Hassler]

18. Memo to Cheetolini: Americans hate you, we really, really hate you. Traitor.

[GulfCoast66]

19. Is Malaria wearing the drapes?

Brought to mind a hilarious Carol Burnett Gone With the Wind bit.

[Hugin]

29. I was wondering why Melly was wearing Grandma's slip cover.

Untailored. Wash 'n wear.

Let's hope at the very least it's been Scotch Guarded.



GMTA!

[Rollo]

33. Carol wore them better...

[Chin music]

36. _1 haha

Loved that show.

[Rollo]

34. "I saw it in the window..."

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. There they go- our own version of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu

If only they could meet the same fate.

[llmart]

32. Or the Marcos family.

Imelda would be so proud of Malaria's red-soled shoes which probably cost more than my monthly budget.

[Grasswire2]

22. what is this B.S. sentence??????

"People close to him hope he realizes that the report isn’t crippling and the negative stories will largely end by Monday. "


Say what?

The negative stories will end by Monday???

[Scarsdale]

26. Not so fast, Sparky.

As more of the redacted text is uncovered, this is only the beginning. Oh, Maleria "Be Best" dear, remember your special project?? Get as much money as you can, before the entire sham is exposed.

[Kablooie]

24. Trump, of course, has not read the report.

He'd be incapable of reading it so all he knows is what others say.

[samnsara]

27. I wonder if melanie wears those ugly clothes when she wants to distract the press from donnie?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. "... negative stories will largely end by Monday."

Yes, the last Monday in January, 2021. After the next inauguration.

Until then, keep on golfing, Mr Trump.

[Chin music]

37. +1 haha.

[Nitram]

38. This is good. Trump has finally realized that there is damning evidence against him in the Mueller

report. We should expect increasingly erratic behavior from someone who has set a new bar(r) for erratic behavior.

[prodigitalson]

40. His lying staff is lying to his lying self

"People close to him hope he realizes that the report isn’t crippling and the negative stories will largely end by Monday. "
