While we're all complaining about MSM placing too much coverage on "him" - a Washington Post article says he's fading away - and I'm wondering if we may be talking about "him" more than his own "Trumptroglodytes!"

Although it would be nice to never hear his piehole ever again, is it really wise to ignore him?

Its ok to say his ugly name too: Trump. Rhymes with rump and dump.

She's done the wifely bit and is finished.
He' s just doing his usual blowhard routine - he can't stop himself.

(5,167 posts)She's had it, I believe, and will never go back to the perceived job of pleasing the public...

(12,445 posts)She's got it made, WHY would she leave?
They lead separate lives, she does what she wants with a bank account. She obviously is on the same page as him, politically so why do people predict she'd run away?
Laughable.

Melania is obviously still getting SOMETHING out of the relationship ($$$$$$). As soon as that resource dries up, she'll try to move on to richer pastures or maybe take Barron and her parents, and move back to her home country with what ever financial resources she's managed to bank, maybe under one of her parent's names.

Pent up COVID energy, fanatical supporters and a stick up their ass...
Trump's not going anywhere and the threat is real.
'22 is going to be crucial and I'm not hopeful.
What WILL WIN is good competent governance.
And focus on GETTING THINGS DONE, I don't want the Congress spending too much time on Unicorn legislation when MANY other pieces of legislation CAN be passed with this Congress.
Joe promised an increase to the minimum Social Security payout, $13k/yr IIRC.
Where are the thoughtful tax increases?
I'm expecting a recession next year, so let's show the people some real progress and not "just" the recovery.

(38,601 posts)The GQP is ready to cheat their way to future victories by gaming the system. Weve gotta beat them at this game.
Not by cheating, but by thwarting their attempts only more on the offensive this time.
