Melania is the only good thing about Trump isn't she? *Title changed by GNHQ*

Loved how good she seemed with the kids at the primary school today, helping them to make Xmas decorations and wrap presents for charity. She seemed very relaxed. Really enjoying herself.

Never eaten an English mince pie either!

No one said she was skinny Gagajo. Just that she has a fabulous figure, which she does. Helps that she’s tall and always looks elegant. It’s part of her role to look great.

Melania is President Trump's wife. Ivanka is the daughter.

I thought Melania looked good in the yellow cape. Did you notice the pink heels she wore with it? Mind you, with a figure like that she'd look good in anything. As for Camilla in the red dress with black jacket, she looked fine too. Let's face it, who would want to have their photo taken standing near ex-model Melania? Camilla and Charles look very happy together, don't they? A happy smile works wonders in a photo whatever one is wearing - even standing near Melania!

Was Princess Anne refusing to shake hands with Trump? If so, I don't blame her. From what I saw in the clip on the internet tonight her mother was not very happy about the incident. I wonder if P Anne is having to take on some of the stuff that would normally have fallen to P Andrew.

I liked her classy checked coat.

Cannot admire someone who married for money. She was once asked “Would you have married him if he wasn’t rich?”
Her response was “Would he have married me if I wasn’t beautiful?”
She is like the Queen in that she rarely gives her opinions so we must imagine how she feels. In fact we don’t know.

Hetty58 Wed 04-Dec-19 22:39:52

I just fell really sorry for her - married to that clown!

I used to muddle their names as well. When the Donald became POTUS I thought his wife was called Ivanka because her predecessor was Ivana and he wanted someone with an easy name he could remember. grin

GagaJo Wed 04-Dec-19 22:37:44

She is the woman I was speaking of being treated like sh*t. She's sold her soul to the devil. US citizenship and a wealthy husband. But at what price?

GagaJo
Gonegirl meant Melania as explained upthread.

I think she's OK
And she is European too

Thanks inkcog, voice of sanity.

Being proud of a woman for being skinny is nuts. Particularly if she is only arm candy for the bloke. Trump treats his women like sh*t, other than his daughter, of whom he once said, 'If she weren't my daughter, I'd be dating her.' I pity them.

Because she represents her country and always looks elegant. I also said she has a warm smile. She is after all only by her husband’s side to support him. She keeps her own counsel in political affairs.

Nothing not to like in my opinion!

Gonegirl Wed 04-Dec-19 22:13:20

Gagajo I meant the wife, not the daughter. (Not trying their names again)

inkcog Wed 04-Dec-19 22:04:41

Why would you be proud of a woman because she has a good figure?

How odd.

Urmstongran Wed 04-Dec-19 21:50:33

She always looks very stylish. America can be very proud of their FLOTUS. Skirts are always below the knee, fabulous figure, vertiginous high heels and a warm smile.

She is very unusual looking, very striking. Wonder what they talk about when they’re on their own?

merlotgran Wed 04-Dec-19 21:44:37

I agree she looked happy and relaxed with the children.

I think the cape would have looked good at a garden party....in the rain!

Gonegirl Wed 04-Dec-19 21:26:27

I liked the yellow cape.

Gonegirl Wed 04-Dec-19 21:23:34

She looked really happy with the children at the school.

merlotgran Wed 04-Dec-19 21:06:21

DH asked why Melania was hanging on to Trump as they were coming down the steps from the plane.

I suggested he look at her heels when she got to the bottom. grin

M0nica Wed 04-Dec-19 21:05:43

I thought that yellow outfit very odd. Princess Leia meets the Wicked Witch of the West.

She doesn't look the happiest woman in the world. I feel when Trump steps down, she will step up and demand a divorce.

She cannot be bothered to look cheerful even when she is meeting famous people and standing by them as their equal. Many a major politician/celebrity would give their right hand to be in her postiton. She looks like the recalcitrant child being forced to be photographed with lots of old aunts: awkward and ill-at-ease and sulking because she wanted to go swimming.

sodapop Wed 04-Dec-19 21:04:46

I thought she was a bit unsteady on her feet a couple of times. Charitably it may have been her high heels.

Gonegirl Wed 04-Dec-19 21:00:51

Was funny Princess Anne didn't want to shake hands with him.
