Anyone else notice how miserable Melania looks whenever she is near the Donald?

64. What "upsets me" ...

... (and not to any great degree, because DU is not exactly shaping opinion in the real world) is the fact that some people think that Trump's marriage, or Melania's behaviour. is worth speculating about as though it matters.

It smacks of people more interested in supermarket tabloid headlines than what is really going on in terms of the nation, and what direction it's headed in under pResident Trump.

It is reminiscent of RWers who sliced, diced and julienned the Clinton presidency based on speculation about whether Bill and Hillary were "on the outs" - as though it mattered to the welfare of the nation.

I guess I've just never been into fanzine "news" about who "appears to be" unhappy, or annoyed, or whose body language should be "interpreted" by people who have no clue as to what goes on between two people in a marriage.

Intelligent political discussion should not include "his wife looks unhappy". What matters is whether the country IS unhappy - and why.

Trump was elected to public office - his wife wasn't. Speculation about HIS statements, HIS behaviour, HIS Cabinet picks, HIS "Tweets", HIS attitude are all fair game. Speculation about his wife and their relationship are meaningless forays into irrelevancy by people who actually buy supermarket tabloids, and think they are somehow well-informed as a result thereof.
