it will not meet the anti-cyber bullying standards that are supposedly the core of Melania's "be best" campaign.

that the award was rigged. Of course he will claim that, and saying he will claim that doesn't mean someone doesn't belong on DU. Quite the opposite, in fact!

She had one foot out the door in November 2016. And as soon as The Orange One is booted out of OUR HOUSE, she will make her move. Take her son as far away from the Idiot in Chief as she can get. I have no pity for her. She made her choice, but I hope her son can survive such a toxic father.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Knowing how he likes to threaten people a la mobster style, he's probably threatened her with death if she ever leaves.

Having said that, I don't feel one whit sorry for her.

Best SPOKEN WORD. Poor Mel can't even speak English and her botoxed face would crack if she tried.

I am so loving this!!!!!

Talk about a Tweet storm?

Trump will go after the Acedemy next after references to him are mentioned.

I would vote for her in a heartbeat.
