"I Really Don't Care, Do U?" An audience of one. (It's obvious.)



I recently heard or read (Melania's biographer?) that years ago Melania realized the best way to get her husband's attention was by getting on television and saying or doing something provocative. It appears as though she has refined her technique to include a simple, straight-forward message.

from day one she has been a zombie like parrot, one minute looking miserable and tormented, the other moment plagiarizing other women’s words. Have we ever heard her actually say anything that wasn’t scripted or robotic or even mildly genuine?

Her audience of one is the biggest clod and most vile moron to ever stain the rooms of the White House.

Why would she even want his oafish attention?
She may be unhappy in her gold plated prison.
But the complete lack of mature intelligence being displayed between them while her spouses family and corruption destroy massive chunks of our society makes me not give one nauseating damn about her “intentions”.

7. You're right, though, in terms of overall emphasis.

I was focused on the current question: "Who was her audience?"

But more importantly you realized the significance of the message as it applies to both parties.

I shows her militant superficiality and it reveals hat his displays of emotion and expressions of concern for children were emotionally meaningless.

As FLOTUS, she should have people checking on her clothing choices.

8. I agree. She had spoken out against the policy, and she didn't wear the jacket in Texas

plus - she and Ivanka were both looking daggers at him during the signing.
I think it made things tons worse for her, but I think her intended target got he message.

In order to help tear down and divide our country?

At first, I thought it was her way of sending a message to Donald?

Then, I thought perhaps Donald had requested she wear it to send a message to his "base"?

Then, I thought that Melania was working with the Russians, too, and Putin wanted her to do it so it would further divide our country?

Perhaps someone will ask Melania that question?
