Like she is there because if she doesn't there will be consequences. Now, that being said, I don't like her one bit, but I do wonder if he keeps her in line with bullying tactics like he does Lindsey Graham.

Every time I see her, she's in some garbage outfit. Like everything else he's been associated with, trump's turned her to shit.

It looks like she just came in from house painting the White House and did not have a chance to change into a clean outfit.

She married this man, probably for money and position. I imagine that after she bore him a son, her bedroom duties lessened considerably. She still must endure his temper tantrums, constant blathering about his wonderfulness. I doubt that they have much in the way of conversation or show of affection. She has credit cards and credit accounts wherever she wants. She probably has some girl friends. She has to be available for appearances with him, and she probably reserves time to be with her son. But otherwise, I imagine that the Trumps live mostly separate lives.

stop the "holding hands" pretense because it's obvious she's not having it. There's no love there.

uglier and uglier. My first reaction when I saw the coat was Storm Trooper. I then realized I was looking at my trash bags. Although my trash bags have a little more style (they have red ties). I bear the entire tRump clan ill will and will continue to do so until forever. They are coming dangerously close to destroying our democracy and include the awful Mich McConnells’ in that mix.

That's a poster for the look: really self-absorbed. Wow!

Oh, and a crooked tie spoiled it, so that is a good metaphor for the poster. The Nazi chick next to him adds some spice.

remember all the shiny coats and jackets. It was a women's fashion thing back in disco fever days. The hooker wearing the black trench coat above would fit right in today at Studio 54.

hands on. She won’t be the last. But few others play out that life on such a prominent stage. She had to know tRump was a horrible man/child before she married him but the glitter of the gold was too tempting. She probably figured it would be a marriage in name only (with the exception of conceiving her insurance policy, Barron) and she could live in one mansion or another as long as tRump was far away. That is how things were supposed to be until he became President. Then all of her plans were changed. tRump probably made promises to reward her richly for playing along. But she still managed to move with Barron and her parents outside of DC with occasional appearances such as at Christmas and ceremonial duties. It should be obvious that she is counting the days until her sentence is up. If by hook or crook the asshole is re-elected, a renegotiation between tRump and Melania is sure to take place. It will cost him for sure.....IF she agrees to continue the charade.

With few exceptions, her taste in clothing is terrible. The blue outfit she wore for the inauguration was lovely and memorable. Some of her other outfits (get ups as my mother would call them) were not so good. Knowing all eyes are on her when she appears anywhere, you’d think she could do better.
