Greatest First Lady EVER!!
The nation yearns for just plain beauty and fun again, after these daily deadly Democrat threats in election year 2026.
If you haven’t seen the movie “Melania”, I would highly recommend watching it. It’s an interesting behind the scenes look at what she does, how she does it and who helps her. I found it even better than i anticipated.
She is the definition of class. Thankful she is our First Lady. 🙏🏻🩷🇺🇸
Got to admit, while Trump holds all the cards, he does not hold grudges. Can’t believe how many re-starts he keeps offering when the serve the better interests of all concerned. He is man of verbal excess, but also of strategic moderation.
Art of the Trump deal – everyone gets some/most of their own self-interests honored in the best ways possible. Welcome Red China to our shores. Panda diplomacy -the doors are open again.
The interview with Trade Rep Greer yesterday was awesome. He basically said: “the Chinese are who they say they are and have always been. That’s not going to change. So we live in realville and will treat them accordingly.”
What a breath of refreshing air, having a real First Lady at such an important occasion. “Dr.” Jill would have just lined up transgender belly dancers and had Beyonce twerking out the Chinese national anthem.
J
that photo of our first couple is stunning.
Melanie feeding the Panda was a nice touch 🙂
Who benefits most from US interests now protecting the Arctic top of the world from this new US Greenland Base with the help of Russian ice-breakers? Chinese exports going over the top of the world to EU markets, instead of the longer India-Suez route or around Africa. The grand chess master check-mated global politics again.
Mrs BNG wants me to post: “She’s stunning”.
I will be Welcoming President Donald J Trump when he arrives at the
Presidents Cup Event at Medinah Country Club, Medinah IL.
We anticipate that our President Donald J Trump will hopefully be briefly in attendance.
I personally am working there.
Seriously !
I will be very busy there racing around the venue on a golf cart taking care of business
: )
MAGA
I’m jealous! LOL Tell him the folks at “The Conservative Treehouse” LOVES him! 😉
How cool is that?!
With an initiation fee of $150k, and annual dues at $13k, I won’t be attending this year…I’ll leave it at that!
i understand the necessity here, it truly is necessary.
still, these are communists – REAL, mass murdering communists –
not the cosply, Brown University, purple haired, tattooed,
patriarchal slavery studies types, shouting free palastine
and then calling home for money.
navigating the global geopolitical landscape is certainly not for the faint of heart.
i commend PT for finding and reinforcing a personal connection with Xi
to pave the way for a better future for all.
that’s why i think PT does what he does, and i trust his instincts on this –
sort of the fastest way to a dictator’s heart is through an epic military parade?😉
Melania will wow as always, with grace and beauty guaranteed to elicit praise
and cooperation far beyond what might be forthcoming from, say, a dr. jill
with her upholstered wardrobe and delusions of grandeur.
may all go well.🙏🏻
This is Presidential courtesy and graciousness at its finest. It shows that there is a deep professional and personal relationship between these four people.
Xi and Trump have a lot in common so they understand each other. I hope for great things to come out from this visit.
Melania Trump was just on my mind.
I’m her age, I followed the career of Melania (Knauss) and back in the 80s, I did wear plenty of those very high pointy toed spike heeled shoes.
We all did, this was what was in style and we really did get decked out back then and today, I certainly wish this would come back into style. It’s very uplifting to look your best, and if we all do, there is great dignity in this for us all as a whole.
As a nation today, we could use this again, it would do us well.
So about an hour ago I was at TJMaxx and I saw a pair of gold sparkly pointy toed pumps that were sky high.
Truly, my first thought was ‘Wow, Melania Trump would love these” and for old times sake, I tried the damn things on to see if I could still do it.
I pulled it off, but my big toe went numb by the end of the aisle, I honestly don’t know how Melania is still wearing them every day and all day.
I’m giving her my utmost respect here that she endures this torture for us, I love fashion and I feel so proud that she’s ours.
We’ve got the most stunning First Lady on the planet.
Ladies shoe fashions…making podiatry great again!
I cannot fathom how she wears them…I wondered that back in her first FLOTUS term….!
