Trump struggles to explain what Melania is doing post-White House (😂)

Trump struggles to explain what Melania is doing post-White House: 'She's low key but not actually low key'

Travis Gettys
June 25, 2021

Former president Donald Trump gave a rambling explanation for his wife's activities since leaving the White House nearly six months ago.

The twice-impeached one-term president called in to Newsmax TV for a lengthy interview, and the hosts asked what Melania Trump had been up to since leaving Washington, D.C., as President Joe Biden was sworn in.

"It's very funny," Trump began. "She's a very confident person. She was very successful as a model, she was very, very successful. and she is low key, but not actually low key, but she's low key and the people love her. For instance, I'm making a speech in Ohio, where they're going to have big crowds, they already have them lined up. We're going have big crowds tomorrow night, and when I go there, there will be many, many signs. 'We love our first lady, we love our first lady,' and a lot of times they show a picture of a high heel, a shoe with a high heel."


That sent him off on a tirade about media coverage of his wife's outfit while touring damage wrought by Hurricane Harvey.

snip

"That's when they scammed us, when she went to a hurricane, and in Texas, and we left for Air Force One, and she feels an obligation to be beautifully dressed representing the people of our country, so she walked into the plane wearing, you know, we're looking great," Trump said, "and then she had a bag and the bag was sneakers and a sweatsuit and all the things, right? And she got hammered for going to a hurricane that way, you know, etc., etc., and the high heels became a big thing, anyway. They love the first lady and the people, and you don't read that, you don't read that and they, the news loves to keep her out, and that's okay, frankly, with her it's absolutely okay. You understand, she's got a lot of confidence, got a lot of confidence."

"And whatever it is I've said here today..."

What a ridiculous, ludicrous buffoon. And the majority of the GQP thinks he deserves to be their God Emperor.

Poor orange turd. Javanka is openly distancing themselves from him. The two dumb sons are of no use, and he never cared about Melanoma's kid. Tiffany never mattered either.

The only one advocating for him now is daughter-in-law Lara, and I suspect he suspects she has an agenda to use him as a springboard for he own political career.

Oh, woe is lonely donald. Too bad, so sad.

He supposedly had an apartment in the DC hotel-- a big one.
But he can't live in DC.
He's got the two-story flat in Trump Tower.
But he can't live in NY.

He's got to live somewhere he hopes the governor will give him some time before extradition-- so he can get out of the country. DeSantis will do that.

He did go up to NJ for a few weeks. I'm not sure where he is now-- Florida can't be very appealing this time of year.

Please try to follow this flood of words and explain to me what he is saying:

======

It's very funny. She's a very confident person. She was very successful as a model, she was very, very successful.

And she is low key, but not actually low key, but she's low key and the people love her.

For instance, I'm making a speech in Ohio, where they're going to have big crowds, they already have them lined up.

We're going have big crowds tomorrow night, and when I go there, there will be many, many signs. 'We love our first lady, we love our first lady,' and a lot of times they show a picture of a high heel, a shoe with a high heel.

=======

He is babbling. Simply babbling. His speech is incoherent because his thought processes are jumbled. He is incapable of connecting one or more ideas together and verbally expressing them.

Fri Jun 25, 2021, 02:22 PM
Jun 2021

Asked what she is doing NOW, he refers to her "very successful" work as a model. I assume that she has not worked as a model for a few decades. Not to mention, her career was mediocre and soft core porn. (Consider if Obama were asked about what Michelle is doing - he would respond with her current projects and anything else happening NOW. He wouldn't speak of her job at the University of Chicago Medical Center from before when he was President. )

Then note his constant repetition and the weird stream of consciousness. Melania's modelling - her popularity, which he claimed let to photos of a high heel shoe - because all women wanted to be characterized by the shoes they wear! Then into a poor Donald and Melania story of the media picking on them ... and high heels.

As to high confidence - note her husband here speaks of her modelling as if it was a high point of her success.

He describes qualities he likes about her. But never a word about how she is spending her days now that she is not First Lady. Why is that?

Because he has no clue. Especially if she is 1500 + miles away from him. Probably hasn’t seen her since January. If he needs her to show up for his rally, he probably has to pay her. I’d love to see that contact. LoL. Be there. $Ca-Ching$ Smile. $Ca-Ching$ Kiss me. $$Double ca-ching.$$ Don’t slap my hand away!! Triple $$$ca-ching$$$

Also, his utter incoherence is what his followers find "relatable." (That does not apply to the occasional slip of the tongue by President Biden, strangely enough.)

He's not an actual knuckledragger but he tells the knuckledraggers what they want to hear. As far as they're concerned, that makes him king.
