The fig leaves are off, folks. We see now what’s really there. Yes, people cry at weddings, happens all the time, but you seldom see people rage at funerals. I was debating not posting the following clip and I’ll tell you why: It’s ugly. It’s drop dead hilarious on the one hand, but the things that are said here are the kind of ugly shots that men and women do take at each other when an uncoupling is nigh.
Nobody despises the Trumps more than I do, for the devolution of this country which they were the catalyst for. I’m not going to say they “caused” anything. As Barack Obama said, Trump is not the problem, he’s a symptom of the problem. What Trump and his menagerie did was act as a catalyst. When Trump was elected, the Trojan horse came in with him. We saw people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, people who have no business anywhere near public life show up in Congress. But as much as I detest Trump I have to tell you, this is strong. Maybe you should consider that a trigger warning. Because you’re either going to have my reaction which was, “Jesus.” Or, you’re going to be rolling on the floor. Maybe both. This strikes a nerve.
And now the leaked audio from Melania, after she refused to let Donnie in the SUV after the funeral of her mother. pic.twitter.com/7ibJqO8cjO

I’m not the only one who was struck this way, as the tweeter who found it “hilarious but very disturbing at the same time,” validated. There is a darkness here. What I think is going on, is that this is disturbing because there is emotional violence being alluded to here.
Donald Trump is an emotionally and physically violent man. He’s a rapist. He even raped his first wife. He is credibly accused of raping a 13-year-old. And who knows what aspects of that Melania has dealt with? I don’t pretend to know. On the emotional violence side, I know that Trump used to crow that he never gave Ivana “any jewels or negotiable assets” because he wanted to maintain the purse strings. Maybe he’s done the same with Melania, although supposedly she’s got a 25 carat diamond.
My point is that the things that were said in this audio are all true. Trump DID post over 20 cutting posts about E. Jean Carroll and the judge. Trump DID bury his first wife at Bedminster. We don’t know if he actually wears diapers but the stink aspect of his hair product, at least, has been well documented from any number of independent sources. Just tick through the items mentioned in that audio and it’s entirely possible that they might fight over these very issues.
Melania wasn’t even bothering to put up a front Thursday at the funeral. The cameras were there and she looked enraged. She looked both enraged and grieving, simultaneously. And the fact that she didn’t want to ride in the same car with Trump is telling. What it says is that in one of her darkest hours, the funeral of her mother, the last person she wanted around was Donald.
Donald was no comfort to her and I don’t think he’s ever been any comfort to anybody. At his own father’s funeral, he got up and talked about himself. Yes, Trump slouched away after his wife told him to get lost, but that was bruised ego. That wasn’t, “Oh, hell, I really messed up. I wasn’t there for her and I feel so bad.” No, he was just miffed because she didn’t want to put up with him.
What else occurred to me is that maybe Melania did renegotiate the pre-nupt and there’s some agreement in place for her to be on the campaign trail, all that, and maybe now she regrets it. She might not have known that her mother was ill at the time she did such a thing. Again, we don’t have any facts or timetables and in truth, it’s none of our business.
But it is our business to wonder about the mental health of a candidate for our nation’s highest office. That is damn sure our business. And I don’t think this candidate has a happy marriage. His son is turning 18 and will be going to college in the fall. I don’t think that Melania wants to sit in an empty nest with Donald. Even if that nest would be the White House. Especially if that nest would be the White House, where they are both going to be more hated than they were before — if that’s possible. And bottom line, she doesn’t want to deal with fucking Creesmuss decorations and all that. That’s not her thing. She’s as ill suited to the role of First Lady as Trump is to the role of President, the difference being that she didn’t seek out the office and he did.
Let’s see if she shows on the campaign trail. I wonder if the bookies in Vegas are laying odds.
Anerica, now it’s your turn. Drive off in the other car. Without Trump.
Amen. A phuquing men. That’s exactly what we need to do.
My God. How many knives did she stick in him. Once this video gets around I don’t see how he will be able to show his face in public. I didn’t think it was funny. That woman is scary.
You would be scary too if your spouse behaved that at your mother’s funeral. She never wanted to be a politician’s wife She signed up.to be arm candy for an aging rich dude,,expecting him to.die so she would get the 1/3to 2/2 the estate when he keeps over.
You’re exactly right. I have a friend in New York and he says that people there think that Melania was not expecting this and she did not sign up for it. She expected, as you said, to be the trophy wife and spend her days having lunch with her friends and buying clothes, all that. She didn’t expect to be hated by over half of America and have comparisons made to how Mussolini and his mistress died, shot and hung upside down outside the balcony.
But, if she were a foreign or Russian asset, she did sign up to be in the White House. I’ve got zero sympathy for this woman who sat at DT’s feet in a plane dressed in fetish regalia. Gross ick
I know from both firsthand and professional experience how raw emotion has a way of manifesting at funerals/burials. Both good and bad feelings often are laid bare for everyone to see. My own family went through a shitshow when my mom died. I remember during the visitation escaping to the office of the funeral home at one point. Gene (who I’d known since I could remember and who would become a second dad to me) apparently saw where I went, and being wise left me be for a bit. He came in after a while, and sitting there in the dark I told him how embarrassed I was over how things had unfolded. Gene put his hand on my knee and said he’d seen much worse. I felt a little better but not much. Five years later after dad died I wound up working for Gene and his brother Bill. A year or so later after a “memorable” funeral Gene and I were riding back from delivering the “fancy pieces” (the flower arrangements that were made to be displayed in vases in homes – not the stuff in cardboard containers they lay on the graves) and things were still quite the scene at the decedent’s home. I asked Gene if he remembered my mom’s visitation (they were great friends btw) and he said of course he did. And I told him how much I appreciated his talking to me but I hadn’t really believed him that ugly as my family had gotten he’d seen worse. AND that after a year of working for him I now knew he had been telling the truth.
Sure, people often find the will to hold raw emotions in check but “letting loose” with what you really feel, and airing grievances is more common than you think. Here’s the thing – once this kind of stuff starts spilling out if often continues! Things get said that can’t be taken back including things people sometimes say they don’t really mean. Sometimes they just lash out at anyone when their anger is actually towards someone else including themselves. But often they start telling pent up truths to others about their true feelings. Melania likely said at least one or two very harsh things to Donald. It was enough that he was stunned into submission and he humbly walked away. However we all know he never forgives a slight and bad as his mind is, that moment will be SEARED in his brain housing group. IF we see the two of them together again the body language between them will be interesting as hell to observe.
My experience of funerals is limited. Maybe that’s a blessing. The ones I have been to were completely civilized and perhaps that’s because the family and friends of the deceased were that way. But I believe that dysfunctional families are dysfunctional at funerals as well.
I don’t think this is a real audio. it looks like a still picture with her cartoonist mouth moving.
I don’t doubt the essence, but this looks like parody.
that is cartoonish, not cartoonist.
stupid autocorrect.
It’s totally parody. That’s clear from the exaggerated lips and eyes. The impact of the piece is that she’s talking about real things that they must be talking about if they talk at all.
You are correct. In the first clip he is standing at the door of the truck only 9 seconds, but Melanoma’s diatribe takes 60 seconds.
Every time we turn around these two give us yet one more reason why they should not be allowed back in the w.h. (and why they never belonged there in the first place). Marriages are generally not all roses and sunshine every day of a husband/wife’s life. We know this. Those of us with even a modicum of decorum save the bad parts for the privacy of the home rather than displaying it in public. How much more so should this be for the President and First Lady? All we have to do is go back a bit over 20 years to see a very good example: Bill and Hillary. To say Hillary knew nothing about her husband’s indiscretions would be to say she was D.D.–and she most certainly wasn’t. She knew and if they ever discussed it (probably fought pretty bitterly I would guess), it was in private. She did not get publicly pissed at him-she took it on the chin. I’m pretty damned sure they’re not the only married POTUS and FLOTUS who had marital problems while playing those two roles. When you are in public high office, especially the highest in the land, you do not put on a soap opera for the world to see (and remember very little outside the home/boudoir/etc. is private any more).
These two have no class, decorum, no knowledge of even the most basic manners the majority of people in this country display (barest majority but still…) every day. These two act like they are performing in one of those asinine “reality” shows that are about all there is on the boob tube. The presidency is reality but it is not nor should it look even remotely like the jersey shore. These two do not get it, never will, and the magats will not call them on the carpet for this hill-billy-esque display. The office of the president has been tarnished in such a way that there may be no way to bring back its shine all because of this shit-show that was the tRUMP *residency.
I think you’re right about Bill and Hillary. They knew how to be professionals. Politics is a profession like any other and you need certain skills. Discretion on what’s public and what’s private is key. Trump knows nothing of discretion on any level. He’s just one more reason why a non-politician should never run for president. This has been un unmitigated disaster, made possibility by the strict language of the Constitution, which only mandates over 35, American born. It was probably beyond the framers imagination to believe a shit show like this could ever happen. It certainly was beyond mine.
The Queens/Slovenia HILLBILLIES!
A band of thieves’ loyalty ends when they no longer share the same goals, or when betrayal is involved. Feel sorry for a mass murdering racist child killer? Not in this goddamn life. I celebrate the day Hitler put a bullet in his brain, and that was too easy given the tortures he put others through. When this tub of shit takes a dirt nap, I’ll mark another day of celebration when EVIL took it on the chin and not some innocent child.
I agree. Trump and his band of thieves are evil people. They do not belong anywhere near the public coffers or the levers of power.
This vulgar couple are living proof that money can’t buy you love or taste. They are nouveaux riche to the max: coarse, loud, and trashy. I have known a few people who came from old money. They were well-mannered, understated, and polite. You can tell a person’s upbringing in how they treat wait staff and servants. It would be hell to work for the Trumps. And there is a reason why none of his wives or I vamos were accepted in the highest echelons in NY society.
Trump could have gone a different direction. If he had any class, if he was something other than a tabloid star, the Trumps’ lives in New York could have been very different. He chose what to make of himself, far more than most of us. Most of us are born into certain circumstances and we navigate through life from there. Trump literally could have become a humanitarian, a contributor to the arts, all kinds of good things, with his inherited wealth. He chose to be what he is.
