Her husband's ideas and past decisions are what are ugly.

Not a good OP, IMO...

Why Trump's wife was not in the photo. The reason offered is consistent with the way Trump thinks. He is very concerned about looks.

We shld be better than this.

so extremely conscious of looks (except his own!) that it may be what he thought.
Comparisons would be made - that's how he sees things.
Recall his comparison of Melania to Heidi Cruz who a is normal looking "cute" person yet he wanted to depict her as ugly and therefore make Melania all the more gorgeous.

What the fuck?

He's pointing out that Trump manipulates these photo-ops based on superficial criteria where women are concerned.

Was wondering if this was another controlled-by-Donald marketing moment. Personally, I'm wondering about it also.

And not that it matters but there were 4 tall blondes onstage with Trump so the OP is wrong AND sexist.

Awful statement about a woman by a DUer. Sigh.

I'm not seeing it.

I think the OP noticed something that is actually true and strange -- Melania has disappeared. She was often but not always present during the primaries (no matter what the other wives looked like! --Trump would NEVER hide Melania b/c other wives might feel insecure -- he would do exactly the opposite of course -- that is the entire point of having a wife like Melania for a person like Trump!) Baron, his son with Melania, could certainly be present for some of the campaign events, as the Cruz girls, Kasich girls, and Obama daughters and others were present at campaign events (Baron is about nine -- not a baby).

I find Melania's absence lately (she also wasn't with him in Scotland during the golf course/Brexit debacle) very odd indeed for a spouse who is supposedly supporting a person running for president. This is just a guess on my part but I think there's trouble on the homefront and Melania's continued absences, lack of interviews or any campaigning on her own such as talking to women's health groups which was going to be her "big issue" (she still struggles with English as well), and no appearances of Baron anywhere all seem to me to be a sign of trouble. We know Trump is a disaster at marriage as well so I wouldn't be shocked if this turns into divorce #3 for him.

I notice Barron is not in the picture. Perhaps their son has something going on and his mom took him.

Perhaps you could show us a picture of yourself? No doubt you are devastatingly handsome and in wonderful shape?
