She really has surprised me. She has done well with the crappy hand that she has been dealt. I would love for her to take on autism and asperger's as a her personal cause. ( How has she done well? Not saying she hasn't, just wondering how you see it. So far, I haven't actually seen her doing anything, so I'm curious. |

This is my favorite picture, Trump always seems to ditch Melania:  This is very telling. Especially with the Obamas in positions of natural/subconscious equality. |

A good marriage isn't a qualification for the presidency, but after Laura and George and Michelle and Barack, it is striking to see such a difference. There really doesn't seem to be any love lost between the two of them.

Yes, but that was a tiny hand all along, and she sought out and chose that hand, so not exactly the same as being dealt a crappy hand. Agreed. She got what she sold herself for. He got what he paid for. While I feel for her because it is very obvious she did not want him to be President, she has made her own bed. She obviously hates the man, but loves the lifestyle. |

She will surprise me when she moves into the White House and how could she take this on as her personal cause when they've denied that Barron is autistic? |

I really think she should keep her contempt of him private. Treat him like the muppet he is behind closed doors by all means but in public she should realise the world is watching and grab that little orange mitt like her life depends on it.

It is more than obvious that being First Lady is something that she didn't want to do.
But I have watched some of her speeches/talks and she is doing quite well with that. She definitely is showing more respect for the office than her husband is.
We were joking that she doesn't carry a purse because she would be beating the shit out of the cheeto with it every chance she could.

It's not been proven Barron is on the spectrum. Even if he is, she doesn't have to take the cause on and they don't have to announce it if he has it. ugh..I can't believe I had to defend a Trump! Kids should be off limits. |

She will surprise me when she moves into the White House and how could she take this on as her personal cause when they've denied that Barron is autistic? As far as I know, Barbara Bush's children were not illiterate, yet her cause was literacy. Rosalynn Carter did wonderful work for mental health issues. "It was on the campaign trail that Rosalynn became deeply interested in mental-health issues, as a result of her frequent conversations with his constituents." Not because her children were mentally ill. Michelle Obama saw a great need to address childhood obesity and worked very hard on that cause, though her children were not obese. Not sure why them confirming or denying gossip about Barron being autistic would be a reason she couldn't advocate for this cause. |

Autism would be an unlikely one because they've denied Barron has autism. Would you disagree with that? Do you know of any moms who advocate for Austism awareness but deny their child's diagnosis? It would be an odd cause to stand behind. I agree children are off limits and speculation of his conditions shouldn't be gossipy or used as a way to badmouth his parents. Get into how we are debating the platform of a foreign born First Lady who doesn't live in the White House. I imagine patriotism would involve a conversation about why the leader of the free world has a touch that causes his spouse to recoil in horror...on tape....on multiple occasions. |

It's quite obvious she is very uncomfortable with him even more now than at the inauguration. Maybe she realized how shitty he treats her after seeing all the comments and videos?

I saw it but I think too much is being made of it. It made me laugh, but these little micro views can be misinterpreted. They certainly were when Obama was President. But I did see a second one today. And then I saw him holding her hand and it looked like a death grip... I'm sure he would not be pleased with the video. |

My son has Asperger's but our district charity is Prostate Cancer. Doesn't mean we've denied our son's condition. |

Nice to see you as well. And I only seem to think Melanie denied her son has Aspergers because well she kinda did. You felt the need to defend Barron against what exactly? Something I said? A pea mentioned Melanie should make autism her "personal cause" and I shared why I thought it wouldn't be a good idea. Quit looking for offense when none is meant or making things all about you when no one was talking about your family. |

Well I still want to see her rise above the cheeto. Don't hold your breath. I am sceptical that there is any more to her than what we have seen already...I think she is just as shallow and uninterested in education has he is. Look at her last few years, plenty of money & only one child to raise and what has she got to show for it? Very little of note. If she wanted to do more with her life she's had plenty of time and opportunity before now to do so. |
