Melania exchanges handshake with Putin.

[tavernier]

Ok, I’m probably reading something into the facial exchange since no one else has brought it up, but I thought it was quite warm and personal and a bit lingering. Almost intimate.

Ok, feel free to tell me I’m paranoid.

[Solly Mack]

1. I read where people thought she looked terrified but she didn't look that way to me at all.

Not even when she pulled back to face the crowd. She did look unsure and nervous but didn't look scared to me.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

2. Believe it man.

Most likely a cold-drop of information via the handshake. Hate to even think she's capable, but....the idea that shes dts "on-the-inside-spy" is almost undeniable at this point. An old soviet state wife? Come on. This has been a shitshow right in our face for wayyyy too long.
As Malcolm Nance says...Coincidence takes a lot of planning. trust and believe.
Putin probably has hit that shit many times.

[Zoonart]

8. She's his handler.

Vlad put her there.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

11. I believe that without reservation.

when she disappeared a month or so ago? She was probably down getting roasted and toasted on deripaskas yatch in the port near palm beach.

[Siwsan]

3. This is what the Daily Mail considers to be a horrified look on Melania's face

Although I don't think she has enough movement in her face to look anything other than vacuous.

[2naSalit]

4. All that botox...nt

[Rorey]

26. After effects of her "kidney surgery"

You know, if I spent a fortune on cosmetic procedures, and endured the pain of those procedures, I'd be bragging about them. Just saying. I mean, it's obvious she had something done to her face. She just looks foolish (and dishonest, of course) by pretending it was "kidney surgery".

[2naSalit]

47. My friend

from the frmr Yugoslavia has a lot to say about her biannual trips to Slovenia to get "upgrades" all these years. It's in most of the newspapers over in that part of the planet.

[Totally Tunsie]

6. tRump wants to hold Puty's hand.

Looks like he's made his choice.

[FirstLight]

7. Melania-bot

I keep thinking of that hilarious Tracy Ullmann skit!

[Miles Archer]

10. In the video, she goes from a big wide grin to blank in seconds

But that's what she does! Situation normal!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. That was bizarre.

She looks like an Android. Prototype Female #13.

[Cha]

36. lol.. so true, Blanche.. ya nailed

it!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. 😚 Cha!

She looks like she’s made of plastic and someone unused to the controls is using a remote to move her around! 😆

[Cha]

45. Oh fuck yeah.. she was grateful!!

Appreciated the attack on American Democracy so she could be #bebest Gaslighitng 1st lady fucking IDon'tCareDoU?.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

12. Both she and putin have Siberian characteristics.

[Sanity Claws]

14. Trump is leaning away from her and toward Vlad

She is leaning away from him.
Focus on their shoulders and you can see that.

BTW that coat is very unattractive. It makes her look as though she has a boxy shape when she is actually curvaceous.

[JI7]

16. that is because of plastic surgery and botox ?

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. Look closely...she is shifting her body away from them.

I noticed when I saw her uneven hands, and the space between her left shoulder and Trump.

And the body language of Trump/Putim is the opposite, they are practically hugging, no space between them.

[mercuryblues]

33. Look how close trump

is standing next to Putin. It looks like he is also leaning toward Putin and away from Melanie.

That "look" on her face is nothing more than botox.

[dflprincess]

39. She looks like a wax dummy from Madame Tussard's

meanwhile, look at the way Spanky is leaning toward Putey-Poo and the amount of space between he and Melly.

[Tatiana]

43. Look at how Trump sidles up to Putin.

and Putin has his characteristic smirk that says I own this asshole. It is really unusual, the Putin/Trump dynamic.

Trump almost seems like a thirsty lover around him.

[kcr]

44. I think she looks star struck

She looked positively giddy meeting him.

[dameatball]

5. I think she is just "off" a bit. Never looks comfortable. Have no idea if that is true or not, but..

..since we are just spouting opinions.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

13. Anything wrong w opinions?

Especially when NOBODY knows anything? Maybe we should just shut up....in her honor? As FLOTUS. Just everyone shut the hell up while fox news says WHATEVER they damn well please and shoots it out of thier cakeholes, like it's grounded news eh? yeah No.

[dameatball]

40. Well.....no. Unusual times.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

41. heh heh.

Especially whe the gop is hiding the ball. Truth is stranger than fiction and opinion can lead to truth. imho.

[dameatball]

42. No sh*t.

[CatMor]

9. She just looks like her stiff, boring minus any personality everyday self.

[JI7]

15. i thought the same about the handshake.

[Mike Nelson]

17. I thought...

… many of Crooked Donald's staff looked disturbed or unhappy. Not in the picture above, but she did light up and smile for Putin a couple times.

[oberliner]

19. You are paranoid

[tavernier]

24. Oh, of course.

[oberliner]

34. You did say feel free to do that

I just wanted to take you up on the offer!

[tavernier]

30. See my response #29

[oberliner]

35. Understood

Well, hopefully it isn't as sinister as that.

[meadowlark5]

20. I don't think so

But just for fun, if there was something more, that woman has the absolute, worst taste in men. Putin is a short, ugly little gargoyle. Equally as ugly as Trump. Only if she were to have some kind of relationship with Putin, one wrong argument and she could find herself dead.

[htuttle]

21. He tickled her palm with his pinky

[librechik]

28. dang, that's what I thought!

a friend told me about that trick...

[Greybnk48]

22. Donald looks absolutely smitten,

like he's dying to touch Vlad.

[cornball 24]

25. My husband has always thought that Melancholia was Putin's "gift" to Drumf.

[Rorey]

27. Your husband and I think somewhat alike.

Maybe not so much his "gift", but someone there to keep him in line. Someone to remind him of his obligations to Putin, and the ramifications of not following his orders.

Hey, some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Let's all not forget that her father is a communist. And let's not forget that her parents are here in the U.S.

[tavernier]

29. Pardon me for my paranoia.

I am of Latvian heritage and I know well what the KGB and Putin has in store for the Baltics. I’m 71 years and many more in my heritage savvy to their treachery. We rely on NATO, but even without it, we will never be your pawns. You tortured and killed us and attempted genocide, but you forgot one important thing..
You may have burned us into dust and beat our bodies into manure, but you never counted on the fact that

Shit Floats.

So be prepared to be in deep shit. Forever.

[Xolodno]

31. Unlike Dump....

...Melania's family history knows what a dictator is capable of.

[tavernier]

32. You know that's interesting.

My friends and I who were born in Europe after the war were reminiscing tonight about how most Americans have no idea what it’s like not living in a country that does not have freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of vote. All of these things are taken for granted.

[Blue Owl]

37. The Vlad-handing dandy

n/t

[edbermac]

38. Is that all they exchanged?
