I was relieved when he turned. It would be a shame if he got sucked into a jet engine -- those things are expensive to clean out.

I wonder how much Trump had to pay her to go to Rome?
And wear the all black outfit, veil and gloves.
Then pretend to act like she was sad and upset at the funeral?
And be humiliated when he was texting on his phone and fell
asleep with his mouth hanging open during the service.

I can’t imagine why they even keep up the charade. It’s certainly not for our benefit.

I suppose it serves the purpose of maintaining the weekend-at-bernies bubble they’ve constructed around the Tangeranus to keep the illusory gravy train rolling.

This time he accidently (I suppose) did what he was supposed to. Not return the salute. Previous posters are acting like he was supposed to. He is not.

I learned this growing up. My father was a retired officer and when we would go to a nearby base and he would be saluted when he presented his credentials. He wore civilian clothes and never saluted back. This was widely a known protocol back then.

... this video is on every media outlet.

Sadly, it will probably never be seen by the people who need to see it.

Couldn't help but notice drumpf's ignoring the Marines saluting him. Imagine the outrage if Obama or Biden did that.

I once saw a video of one of Melania's body doubles.
I believe it was during Trump's first term.

The body double was obviously 30 years younger than Melania.
Even wearing a big hat and big sunglasses it was obvious she
did not look like Melania.

The tell was that Trump turns to the body double and
starts kissing the her, she looks shocked, but smiles
and lets him kiss her again.

I said to myself I will eat my hat if that is Melania.

that a current or former will go to with you. And that's telling. It's about the only place where one goes to sit down and shut up.

He will have his coiffure done up to take that ten mile long strand of hair and twirl it around and around his head into the most elaborate beehive hairdo ever. Then plaster and glue it all in place with 5 - 20 oz cans of Aqua Net hair spray.

The comb over to beat all comb overs. With the added benefit that the comb over could make him 7 feet tall. Barron would become the midget of the family again,.. because daddy towered over him with the high rise beehive hair do.

I believe most everyone here wouldn't want to be as close to him as the next room.
On second thought, that thought is more than chilling, it's frightening

sure she will get her payment for attending the Pope's funeral.

That SF can't even salute to those officers, he is such a POS.
