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

71. A few last thoughts.....

You say extremely uncomfortable, I say miserable. I think misery may be too strong now but I did note a very immediate and significant lightening of her affect when she changed dance partners.

I agree with your observation that The FLOTUS role has to be a hard one for her to pick up. Nothing she has done that I know of could have possibly prepared her for the decorum and expectations of this one.

You "detected someone who is extremely uncomfortable with a role that she did not seek - a role in which she is expected to do, say, and act in certain ways, while the eyes of the entire world are watching." I am not sure how you know what she is thinking or feeling but you decided to share it and I am not appalled by it. I also admit it is a much more charitable view than the one I put forward.

I don't have any idea what she knows about Michelle Obama Michelle is very popular among a majority of Americans but a very outspoken minority has said heinous things about her and I'd bet Melania probably has heard more from them than Michelle's fans. I don't think any first lady with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton faced as much out and out hatred and malicious remarks as Michelle Obama. Maybe that terrifies Melania too.

For the most part I did not post my observations as FACTS: In fact my subject was a question if anyone else noticed my observation. I did not use the word "because" because I was not asserting cause and effect or saying that no other opinion was acceptable. I said she looks like she might get sick just listening to him. I said it was obvious to me she would rather not be around him and doesn't like him a bit. I said I didn't think she would be around long. I did say that they can't even fake comfort or affection which is what I still think. I accept others might think differently.

Bottom line is that neither of us knows for sure what Melania actually thinks about her husband or for that matter what he thinks about her but both of us are free to speculate and have.
