    I mean the smirking fist bump the Obama's did on national television. It was a juvenile act by a boy president and his petty, vindictive wife.

    True enough, just like when Reagan was elected. We can only hope Trump performance is in that ballpark

    Again it was the Obama's who fist bumped

    Don't feed me that crapola. The only people that gave a damn what the hell color the Obamas were were the people who voted for him and the 1/100 of 1 percent that are affiliated with groups like the KKK and the Aryan Nation. The rest of us read his web page, scanned his books, and discovered that he was a far left kook masquerading as left center. And a disciple of Chone's revolutionary theology, which is largely the reason much of Central and South America remains an economic basket, and decoded we didn't want that for ourselves or this country.

    The difference between a gentleman and a clown. No wonder Melania hardly ever seems to be happy

    Jealous of Trump? Nope. I'd rather be me than him. Lots of money may appeal to you, but I'm content in life.

    And no, she plays businesswoman with the allowance her sugar daddy gives her.

    That was intentional, Sherlock.

    That's also when social media was really getting established and maturing, and as we all know, the Internet, with its wonderful anonymity and removal of personal contact in communication resulting in a loss of compassion and empathy, has led to a deterioration in the level of discourse. It's given rise to the troll and its cousins, and this site is but one example of this - it's full of people who say the worst sorts of things and argue entirely one-sidedly, apparently for little more than the sake of amusement and to annoy others. Given all of this, it should be no surprise that spouses and children of celebrities, politicians and other public figures are no longer safe. You go to the right corners of the web, nothing is safe or sacred.

    Homophobe? Then why was I best man at a gay wedding in 1994? (Miles and Richard - unfortunately Richard has passed away from Aids - very sad - he was a kind, considerate and sincere young man)

    PS: If I can ever figure out how to attach a .jpg to a post, I'll send you some photos of the wedding. My wife and I were the ONLY straight people there. But must admit.......I felt a little bit uncomfortable. I wore my best suit but looked like the hired help. Very classy event.

    Melania Trump Is ‘Miserable’ as First Lady, ‘Unhappy With How Her Life Ended Up’

    Melania Trump Is ‘Miserable’ as First Lady

    Scroll back up to restore default view.
    While her husband, Donald Trump, wields his power as president, first lady Melania Trump is struggling with the realities of her new role and the scrutiny that comes with it, insiders reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly. “This life wasn’t her dream. It was Donald’s,” Trump family friend and stylist Phillip Bloch tells Us. “Truthfully, it’s a lot to cope with.” Find out more in the video above, and detailed below.

    Indeed, her unconventional living arrangement — she's staying in New York City while son Barron, 10, finishes school — has already made her a late-night punch line. (Jimmy Kimmel quipped February 8 that she’s “trapped like Rapunzel” in her Trump Tower penthouse.) Vogue faced boycott threats after editor Anna Wintour said on February 9 that she expected Melania, 46, to appear on a future cover. And Melania's libel lawsuit against U.K. paper Daily Mail, which she claims harmed her “unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity … to launch a broad-based commercial brand,” has opened her up to criticism that she intends to cash in on the presidency.

    The deluge has reportedly become too daunting for the deeply private Sevnica, Slovenia, native, who moved to the United States in 1996 to launch a fashion career — not to preside over the East Wing. “Melania is unhappy with how her life ended up,” alleges a family source. “She is miserable.”

    Since inauguration day, Melania has spent most of her time holed up in her lavish apartment. Never a fixture on the NYC social scene, “she is staying hidden more,” claims Bloch. (By contrast, Michelle Obama hosted an open house for select members of the public, plus a party for White House staffers during her first week on the job in 2009.)

    According to a family source, not even Barron can get her out the gold-plated front door. Pre-inauguration, Melania would shuttle her son in a chauffeured SUV to and from his private school. But that was before picketers took up residence outside her building. Now, claims the source, “Melania has the Secret Service take Barron to school and retrieve him.”

    Melania has left her $100 million apartment a handful of times. But aside from one outing to run errands January 30, she has usually headed to her other (luxurious) home. The first lady joined Donald, 70, at Mar-a-Lago, their $300 million estate in Palm Beach, Florida, the weekend of February 3. She went the following weekend too — with a quick pit stop in Washington, D.C., to catch a ride on Air Force One with Donald and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife, Akie. “Melania says she’s most happy at Mar-a-Lago,” says a source close to the first lady. “She loves Palm Beach!”

    In familiar surroundings, she happily played hostess February 11. It was a conspicuous contrast to the previous day, when the most important woman in Japan was left to tour various spots in the nation’s capital minus the traditional first lady escort. (Both Laura Bush and Obama accompanied Akie on previous visits.) While their husbands talked policy over a round of golf February 11, Melania and Akie visited a Bethesda-by-the-Sea church — where the Trumps wed in 2005 — and strolled around the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach. “Don’t let her smile in those photos fool you,” claims the source. “She hates this.”

    A Melania source counters that “she is very happy with her life and supporting her husband and family.”

    She was miserable because she knew that after all of the forced smiles and cheesy events, she'd have to go home with nasty, bald, comrade trumpski, the Posse Grabber.

    Video from Florida rally sparks serious concern for Melania Trump

    An interaction between President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, at a Saturday rally in Melbourne, Florida, is reigniting rumors that she is 'miserable' as America's first lady.

    As Melania was preparing to address the applauding crowd, the president crossed the stage behind her, grasping her upper arm in the process.

    His action caused her to flinch, turn her head downward and take a sharp breath in.

    The first lady appeared to need a moment to regain her composure before continuing on and leading the crowd in the Lord's prayer.

    People took to Twitter to share their concerns for the first lady, saying her body language was consistent with that of a domestic violence victim.

    What on earth does @donald trump do to @MELANIATRUMP in private to make her shudder at his touch and look at his face is he gloating ??

    This isn't the first time concerns have been raised over Trump and Melania's relationship.

    A video from the Presidential Inauguration sparked the hashtag #FreeMelania last month.

    In the short clip, Melania can be seen smiling at her husband -- but the moment he looks away, her smile disappears into a much more somber scowl.
    A photo of the first lady watching the Super Bowl at Trump's Mar-a-Lago golf club while sporting a similar expression reignited the hashtag on February 5.
