My guess is that she told him that they were going to boo him and he argued with her saying that after killing the head of ISIS he would be mostly cheered. They argued.

Now look at the clip again and see how the louder they boo the more Melania laughs and claps, she is getting a big kick out of it.

Trump in the meantime becomes redder and more surly, I believe because he is doubly embarassed, in front of the country and in front of his wife who is clearly relishing his embarrassment.

I noticed that too.

I thought she was laughing at “the little people”

Like a let them eat cake moment

She might be subconsciously trying to "drown out the boos" with her clapping. Or it's nervous clapping. It's a short clip.

customarily, because he may wear heel or shoe lifts?

Does that explain why he looks so odd when he sits in a chair? Most people don't sit in a chair the way he does.

But you're right, it could be from heel lifts. He also stands in an unusual way.

The children in cages without their mommies and daddies feel a zillion times worse.

If he had had a coronary at that moment it would be too good for him!

I never thought I would be the kind of person to delight in another person's pain.

But I loved this.

But in the case of tRump, I want him to feel this way every morning when he gets up — first thing. Then as he closes his eyes at night, I want him to feel those feelings and make that the last thing on his mind before slipping off to sleep.

Pleasant dreams, Asshole.

And Melania's dressed like she's going to a state dinner. What on earth is wrong with these people?

And for that matter, where's Barron? What 14-yr-old would want to miss out a chance for a VIP seat at the World Series? He didn't go to the 4th of July shit show either, nor was he on the Trump family junket to England. Something's up.

unfortunately he tagged me in the post. That tweet has been flooded with bots and still is, to the point where my notifications are useless. I have never seen anything like it. They say the same thing over and over again.
