If a comment were made about a hated female president's health and impending heart attack, I don't think it would be considered sexist, and that is essentially what this comment is about.

If she had openly mocked a disabled reporter, I'd probably point out every single flaw. If she had made horrible racist sexist remarks publicly--several times over--I'd be just fine pointing out an ever burgeoning girth along with a horrible toupee. I'd actually feel pretty good about my day if just ONE thing I said managed to bring a tiny bit of discomfort into the privileged white life of some overgrown man baby.
Oh wait--would I pick on Melania? Nah, probably not. She's married to that piece of shit and has by all accounts slept with him at least once (as evidenced by their son Baron.) I can't imagine that horror and I'll not pick on anybody that has to live with that. That would be wrong.

(13,421 posts)My dad used to have a saying, "You run with dogs you are gonna share their fleas." Dad was pretty earthy sometimes, but I never could fault his accuracy.
Melania is married to that orange faced shit gibbon. I do have a minimal sympathy for that, but it is the sympathy you might feel for anybody that made a really poor life choice based on greed.
I know how judgmental I sound in this, but there is nothing even remotely attractive about her husband. Nada. He's disgusting with his spray tans and his hair plugs/toupee, and then he opens his mouth and such horrible shit rolls out it completely destroys any minimal sympathy you might have for the guy for looking like shit. He's a walking talking turd, and his personality pretty much renders his looks the best part of that package.
Thing is, I seriously doubt she was forced into that marriage. Not gonna lie, I think she probably would love nothing more than being a rich widow. I can't really offer any compelling reason why I think that is a bad thing, either. But, he is who she chose. That is 100% on her.
