The New York Times just called it a short time ago – Donald Trump has officially won the presidency again. I still will never refer to him that way though, I managed to get through four years of never, ever referring to him that way and I’ll avoid it again.
Since nothing matters, I thought I would provide one moment of levity today: imagine how upset Melania Trump is. Imagine how bummed out she is. She doesn’t want to go back to the White House. She wanted her husband to go to prison. She wanted to be the Widow Trump. She wanted to stay at Mar-a-Lago and get spa treatments. She maybe did a half-dozen campaign events this entire year. She kept dropping weird grifts like “Melania NFTs” and her tragic memoir.
There were lots of videos of Melania with her husband yesterday when they went to vote in Palm Beach. Because Melania kept her sunglasses on, there was a renewal of the Fauxlania conspiracy, which is that Melania has body-doubles who sometimes appear at events. I’m 100% a Fauxlania Truther, but I think that was the real Melania yesterday.

Maybe Mel has been wearing sunglasses all day because she needed to be medically sedated in order to get thru this nightmare happening again.
I know I’d like to be numb right now. I’m just sick to my stomach.
F’ing nightmare for us.
Nothing funny or light hearted about any of this.
F him. F her.
I have no humor today. None.
No humor, no sarcasm, I got nothing. We went back. I can’t believe it. I cannot imagine the next 4 years. Ukraine, Palestine, and the rest of the world, brace.
I have no nothing either. I feel dead inside.
Dead inside is exactly how I feel. It is a if the American people have purposely gut bunched the bright future we may have had. I simply cannot comprehend that this is what has been actively chosen, and this is what the majority want. History will not judge them kindly. The ramifications and fallout from this will last generations. They would rather have the Orange, Felon Clown than a woman.
Absolutely devastated!
nope. she’s all in
Did she even vote for him? We’ll never know. But goody, now we get to see the Kushners again too! /s
I too wondered if it was her under the sunglasses but I saw video later without them and it was her. She just didn’t look her polished self. Probably because she barely has the will to live when she’s stuck with him for any period of time, like yesterday.
She was probably being paid. She was waiting for the end of the workday.
I absolutely sick that this is a repeat of 2016. Once again America has shown that they hate women
Yes, and the saddest part of it is that a significant number of American women hate women. How could women vote for that monstrosity?
Internalized misogyny.
How long will she take to move to Washington this time?
She’s not going. There is no reason for her to go. They don’t need to fake anything anymore. He showed exactly who he is and people love his hatred. They don’t need to pretend to be a couple, she doesn’t need to try to soften his image as a predator, a cheater, a fake.
She will move to Washington only to transform the White House into an Edgar Allan Poe nightmare.
I think it was the real Melania too and she looked like she ate a handful of gummies or got into Donald Jr’s stash.
I am European and I feel deeply saddened and horrified by what happened. I join in the pain of all US citizens who voted for kh. To those who voted for dt I wish diarrhea.
and simultaneous vomiting
This morning I believe I saw a picture in the NYT of Melania on one side of him and Laura Loomer on the other side. Loomer has disappeared recently but it was literally her and Melania up there.
I think Melania might be polishing up her hardball came to negotiate and I think Donald might give her the heave ho. He doesn’t need her anymore.
Yeah, Donald does not need her anymore.
He now has an open page to ruin us all.
Mel has zero power to bargain with.
Just like all of us.
@yipyip
It also occurs to me that in dispensing with Melania, he will live as members of the Third Reich and current dictators like Putin do–with no public-facing partner and helpmeet at his side, instead standing alone as a man solely dictated to state and power.
She can pay for her and her doppelganger’s security this time. If she’s not in the White House and her billionaire husband can afford to pay for a second residence, than they can afford to pay for extra security costs. Especially when the Secret Service is already stretched thin by his demands.
Oh joy, we get to watch our very own collapse in real time. Melaniac too.
On the photo above, Barron is looming over them looking like a ghost.
He hasn’t inherited the bronzer of his parents. But gosh he’s tall. Any conspiracies on which basketball player his real father is?
He looks like some giant oaf.
Please leave Baron Trump out of nasty comments. He is still someone’s child. And please rise to the occasion. The American people have spoken and we have chosen the Republicans.
Barron is an adult now, and it’s time we stop infantilizing Trump’s adult offspring – the older ones got away with all manner of literal crimes last time, because Trump AND the media played into the whole “leave Trump’s children out of it” BS.
Barron is known to torture animals for fun and be just as bigoted as his father.
Just because his parents are older and worse than he is, doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be held to accountability as any other *adult* would be.
Longtime lurker and first time commenter. I feel sad and resigned, not shocked and numb like in 2016. And yea I agree, Barron is fair game now. He’s an adult and has the eyes of a sadistic, psycho killer of women if you ask me. And no, I do not plan to treat any of Orange Hitler’s family or supporters with any sense of politeness or decorum or compassion at all. They have shown us for the past decade who they are—time to treat them accordingly. Treating these ppl the way they treat others is probably the only way we will get through this fascist nightmare.
He’s not a child and he’ll turn out to be a mini-me (only taller — a maxi-me) of his father. The only offspring who seems to have turned her back on him is Ivanka. The others are salivating over what they can grift out of his presidency.
Just wait – Ivanka and the ghoul will be back.
No.
She is wearing big sunglasses so no one can see her disappointment. She was so close to being free
I hope Mel wears her
“I don’t care, do you?” jacket as she hides at Mar-A-Lago for the next 4 years.
She knows exactly who he is and she stays. Vile witch.
She is going to hold on until she is The Widow Trump.
Wanna bet she moves back to NY soon as possible?
What do you call Trugh in your home? My 9 year old doesn’t like saying his name, and often calls him Tru (like Tr and uh sound). I don’t like saying the name either and I don’t want use a swear since I have a kid around.
Instead of saying Trump or Nazi, I’ve taken to using “45” if young kids are near.
I have repeatedly said to others “we are not talking politics around the little kids, not in my house.”
This is gonna be a long damn week.
We call him *rump* ’round these here parts, partner.
I saw the first blurry video and immediately thought it was not her. Big, genuine smiles, very engaged with DJT and what was going on, no smile lines, hair tucked behind ear … she looked way too young. @caslernoel on Twitter who has spilled the dirty tea on DJT for years (worked with him on Celebrity Apprentice) said: “Told y’all Fake Melania was a REAL thing. Matter of fact everything I told y’all was real and/or came true.” Just something stupid and frivolous to give me a mental break from the awfulness.
