Jacob Soboroff: Melania was supposed to visit two shelters. She didn't.

Melania was scheduled to visit two shelters today, the well run one she went to with the older unacompanied minors and the one Soboroff went to, with terrified kids in dire straits-a sight like he never thought he’d see.

But the weather was “inclement” and she skipped the second. He remarked that he’d had absolutely no problem getting out at the same time she would have.

But she doesn’t really care, does she?

in the Asshole reality show. They're probably telling themselves how successful the visit was, and how she made everything look ever so compassionate and caring. When in reality she damaged herself big time.

But then, everything that they touch turns into a stumble-bum cluster-fk.

Sharp eyed DU reader caught it:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=2090723

Someone on either MSNBC or CNN was talking to a reporter on the ground near this placeearly this morning. They were talking about all the activity during the night. Trucks coming and going, shipments of stuff coming in, etc. They had been keeping an eye on the place watching for kids arriving. I told my husband I bet they were going to let cameras in and were designing a nice set. Lo and behold, Melania arrives "unexpectedly." Right. Add that to the BS list.

Her well practiced fake smile might almost convince some Trumptards that was she was happy to be there. The rest of us? Ahhhhh...not so much. She's almost as fake as Ivanka.

She wore that jacket on purpose because she does not care about those children, her spouse ( who does), the American people, this country and being Flotus. As Macrons wife stated in French a newspaper article, she feels like a prisoner. Boo hoo hoo. So hears my advice to stoneface. Go the hell back to where you came from.

Just spit balling...
I've known several junkie/drug addicts in my life-time. I wonder if since Dr Feelgood hit the road if some of these 'dropping out' episodes have to do w getting some drugs somehow? Only say that bc the addicts I've known seem to make unscheduled, explainable entry and exits often when in the throes of drug seeking etc. This looks like, feels like something nefarious like that. She hasn't quit being fast and free you can bet. Dt likes them that way, but, it backfires...see the other two wives. Nothing wrong w party girls...you just don't marry them, (for long). Anyhow,....
Maybe she's got a boyfriend on the security detail? If I know the brawny lad, honcho-faux macho types in 'the company' details, maybe they're getting some OT, ON THE CLOCK....as it were. (aka Double Dippin') For sure she's not getting her deliveries at the WH or at dt tower bc everyone is searched pretty well I bet. Even her friends probably can't stand her long enough to sit around and pass a cocaine condom stool for her. Who can even understand her? The height of a wasted day that with her circle of 'friends'. Be best though...omfg.
Just spit ballin'...
She puts the 'ady n shady'. Little porn princess. She never thought this would happen, and is too stupid to plan ahead on her drug of choice.
Another 'expectorated guess' (aka spit ballin yet again), Putin can't talk w dt directly anymore, (They're as hot as the Hawaii Lava beds at this point. Every Intel Ear across the globe is tuning in), and there's a 'Russkie' in the woodpile posing as Security, to pass directions and code to Ditler. (don+hitler blended), and give her her marching orders and blank CD's to record his every word.
Yeah...i dunno. But, she does'nt give 2 shits about anything past herself, so, a little 'free ranging spit balling' seemed to be in order. MELANIA GO HOME...SOON!!! You don't represent the valor and honor of my country...at all. Hit the road sister. And PS..BAron looks like he wants to run from both of you.
After all that spit balling...my mouth is dry. I need a drink. Ciao. Bella Noche'. Ciao.
