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. 🙏🏻🩷🇺🇸
Georgia Lane, while I watched, I saw how busy and exhausting her life must be. I also loved how they showed PDJT’s sense of humor, too!
Exactly! They both have unselfishly given up their incredible lives in order to make America better for generations to come. I pray America remembers this in November.
Servant Hearts.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Absolutely! I was very impressed by her meticulous attention to detail. And, yes, pure class.
This will be amazing. I only wish the ballroom would have been finished in time for the State Dinner to be held this visit. Can’t help but wonder if all of the ridiculous, frivolous, obstructing legal maneuvers hadn’t been employed that maybe it would have.
You bet; a decent Christian, American, woman. Love these types; we need more of them. Regards, Former U. S. Naval Flight Officer
Thank you for your service. My brother was a Navy pilot and was shot down behind the Korean lines.. I have a picture of him standing in the hole in his wing. RIP now.
Gods Blessings to you and yours.
MAGA

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.”
Greer is one of THE most under-rated administration officials in the entire history of any President and cabinet. His unwavering commitment to facts presented and the complete understanding of trade policies is amazing…I liked Robert Lighthizer a great deal but Greer beats him at this point.
It is an amazing and truly beautiful thing to see how gracious and forgiving President Trump is.
He can bite down like a pitbull if someone is attacking, and just as easily will not hold a grudge when he sees they’ve come to their senses.
Yes indeed Raven.
No better example of his diplomatic skill was him keeping a straight face in front of our fake leader Andy Burn- em.
If he he was aware of a quarter of the disgusting things Burn- em said about your President, it is hard to believe he could entertain him.
The same can be said about multiple other foreigners who have insulted him.
You are truly blessed to have Mr Trump as President.
He has a big heart, to me he exudes caring and love.
“He is man of verbal excess, but also of strategic moderation.”
Well said!
In earlier times, just about nothing the President ever said got media attention.
I hazard a guess Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon etc had very terse and profane moments during their tenures. We just never were privy to hear it.
These days, if you accidentally (or purposefully) fart (Swallowell) it gets overamplified.
Biden’ Team had this fingered out.
Don’t let the dolt speak off hand. (Have an Easter Bunny ready to intervene.)
Remove him from Press Corps access immediately after he reads the teleprompter prepared gibberish.
Manufacture any excuse.
Calling a lid at 10 AM !
Make up any stories that celebrate the dementia boy. We don’t care!
I may hate Costco but I’ll gladly eat the free samples.
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
Egads.
That was both a great and disgusting word picture in one.
that photo of our first couple is stunning.
Melanie feeding the Panda was a nice touch 🙂
I would have preferred at least a profile angle for Melania…bill
I agree, the essence of class…bill
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
Sweet! Don’t think I’d be able to sleep until the event, knowing how exciting it will be to meet President Trump!
I’m jealous! LOL Tell him the folks at “The Conservative Treehouse” LOVES him! 😉
Yes! And tell him Sundance has the info he needs for deep state cleaning.
YES I most certainly will tell him that
MAGA people are at CTH !
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!
hi Aggie, nice we have full and happy lives…I know you are busy with your shelties
🙂
Please help keep him safe in IL
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.🙏🏻
“Upholstered wardrobe “
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
“Presidential courtesy and graciousness at its finest”
It’s lovely to witness.
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….!
Working in downtown Houston, I wore high heels, even high heeled boots.
I wouldn’t trade my tennis shoes for anything now… well barefoot in the grass is nice.
i wore them for years and I’m paying for it now. High respect for Melania. She can walk thru gravel and rocks in them and never falter.
I got a cramp in my foot just trying on a pair of those shoes. I put them back on the rack muttering to myself how they were just a cast waiting to happen, anyway.
The shoe manufacturer
has a lot to do with whether a pump is comfortable.
First Lady Melania wears the best quality plus she knows how to walk in them,
At least you were brave enough to try. I can’t believe we used to wear these, not quite as high.
😂My feet have never fully recovered.
Any chance Xi is going to bring our F35 parts that ended up in China’s hands with him when he visits?
What a splendid elegant First Lady! What a contrast with the vulgar unwashed crass creatures the democrats offer. With perhaps the exception of Mrs Carter, the filthy creatures attached to democrat metrosexuals have been a profound humiliation for the United States
Sorry to rain on the parade, but IMO this isn’t going to go over very well on Main St., on the cusp of the midterms, when many American families are having trouble paying the bills and putting meat on the table. If it was for one of our beloved allies, (do we even have any that most Americans like anymore?) maybe the expense involved in all of this could be better tolerated, but for China? A brutal Communist dictatorship that is trying as hard as it can, in any way that it can to completely destroy our country? This is how a country that unleashed a bioweapon that killed millions of Americans and destroyed countless livelihoods gets held accountable?
Japan is the top ally of the US by many estimates.
“This is how a country that unleashed a bioweapon that killed millions of Americans and destroyed countless livelihoods gets held accountable?“
You should research how that all came about. You may be surprised at which country should get the blame. Just because the lab was in China doesn’t put the blame squarely on them.
True, but China destroyed critical documentation the world needed to save million of innocent lives, just after COVID-19 was released/escaped. That was a decision XI signed off on, along with a number of other things.
Just because the, “Globalist’s” planned/executed this attack, does not minimize the CCP’s culpability.
The CCP are pure evil. Full Stop.
Millions of Americans did not die from Fauci-funded covid™. Hate to see those lies still getting trotted out. But it is an election year and Democrats are desperate ……again.
“You should research how that all came about. You may be surprised at which country should get the blame. Just because the lab was in China doesn’t put the blame squarely on them.”
You must be new here. Sundance has gone over that many times in the past. Yes, we know Fauci & his US cohorts played a part in this. Fauci got the pardon but why are none of his cohorts are in prison yet? But I digress. We’re supposed to be talking about kissing Xi’s behind on this thread with awarding him America’s finest opulent welcome.
I’m with you on this visit. I also wonder how many clandestine meetings will take place, Top Secret Intel/Tech transfer’s, and the like, will also take place during this Mass Murdering Dictator’s time here.
I pray PDJT will not allow himself to be persuaded to agree to any agreement terms, that will inevitably leave Main Street with a very bad, and lingering, taste in our mouths.
Also, just sayin’ 😉
By now you should feel confident about Trump’s deal making skills and his pro-America motivations.
I daresay President Trump should let you lead the “talks” since you are so much better than he at not allowing agreement terms that “leave main street with a very bad, and lingering, taste in your mouth.”
just sayin…
Tired of this “affordability” litany, election year 2026. Cut back on expenses and we already know most people ae making bank off taxpayer funded EBT cards. Biden created the mess. And people spending habits went wild getting paid not to work.
If they find things are no longer “affordable”, that is on them, tough because all that happened is we finally cut off their OPM supply. This country is growing in welfare excess, while selfish people make even demands on others to bail out their own poor choices. Button down. Because that is what life is handing you right now.
Yep. Everyone has to adapt when these situations happen. If one is still putting meat on the table consider changing to beans. A whole lot cheaper.
The ones that complain the most are the ones that don’t adapt.
“Yep. Everyone has to adapt when these situations happen. If one is still putting meat on the table consider changing to beans. A whole lot cheaper.

It’s a good thing you are not President Trump’s campaign manager.
I keep hearing all the bleating about “affordability” yet every time I go to the gas station I have to wait because there are cars at every pump – and no I am not talking about little mom and pop 7 elevens. I go to the supermarket, same thing. I go to the department store, same thing.
Americans sure have funny way of showing how unlivable life is in 2026 America.
Maybe President Trump just knows a little bit more than you or me about protecting the USA.
Google says that visiting dignitaries that come for official state visits such as this, they stay at the President’s Guest House which is Blair House.
I just enjoyed this link, seeing how beautiful this place is, it’s quite stunning. I would imagine that this is where Chairman Xi will stay.
The Trump’s are such gracious hosts, I can imagine that even ol’ Xi will be very impressed and just wait until our Big Beautiful Ballroom is complete.
https://blairhouse.org/
Hmmmmm………..they showed only photos of Democrats and RINO’s enjoying Blair House. Of course there is no bias in government operations. Of course not, but JFK, Hilary Clinton and GWBush and wife Laura?. C’mon now.
Thank you for sharing this link. The house is truly beautiful.
I have a serious Melania deficit.
Maybe the grand dinner can be held at the judges’ house that decided America didn’t need the Ballroom with all its security and granduer after it was already well underway.
What is Granddaughter who sang song doing now?
Love it.
I am so blessed to have found this site about 5 years ago. It’s my first read in the morning. It’s the ONLY site where spending time reading the comments adds further value to what SD eloquently presents on important subjects. Take a bow Treepers.
Sundance and crew.. so special
ty
I cringe when I think of what the two previous 1st wives would have worn.
I missed the part where the Orange Man takes Xing Xang into the map room and shows him Greenland?
We have been blessed with the classiest, most relevant First Lady ever!
I love the visual of Melania feeding the Panda. Oh how badly the Panda wants to give her a big bear hug!!!
No previous First Lady can compare in every category to Melania
NONE
Formality.
Xi already knows that he is to STOP supporting IRAN, or the oil flow to China from Iran will be blocked.
XI already knows Taiwan is off the table.
XI already knows Canada will be tariffed to death if China continues to sneak Chinese crap through Canada.
XI already knows Trump doesn’t care about the Midterms. He’s going to crush the Globalists…so China can get out of the way, or get stepped on.
I’m almost tired of winning.
Next bet : CUBA.
