I think I’m going to start using a new phrase — “The Melania Mystique.” It’s a useful one, I think because I believe she and her husband Donald Trump have ginned this one up to create controversy. I think both understand this attracts attention and creates a distraction. And if there’s one thing the tired old hubby needs, it’s to create distractions.
In an interview earlier this month, TV’s Dr. Phil McGraw asked the felonious former president how his wife, Melania Trump was “holding up,” HuffPost [1] tells us.
“I think good, but I don’t think it’s an easy thing for her,” Trump replied in the interview released Thursday. “And I think if it wasn’t good, she wouldn’t want to tell me about it, to be honest with you. Because, you know, she sees that I’m fighting like hell.”
Trump went straight from that to talking about his completely tired-out campaign shpiel. I don’t if these are still popular with kids, but he’s like one of those plushy toys that has a little ring that you pull and they say something ridiculous. Kind of like bright purple Barney who says stuff like “You’re super-dee-duper.” I was before that time and my talking toys were Bozo the Clown and Mister Ed. Maybe Trump has one of those little rings. “Make America Great Again!” “Witch hunt!” It’s just a thought.
“I’m trying to become president and make America great again. That’s what we’re going to do,” he said. “We’re going to make America great again. They’ve put tremendous obstacles in our way, including the 20 million people that are going to be in here by the time this guy gets out. It’s an election we have to win. We’re not going to have a country left if we don’t win this election.”
As the two men were discussing the former first lady, Trump called Melania a “wonderful wife.” He added it’s “not easy for her to read this kind of stuff that’s fake, that’s fake stuff.” Sorry dude, it is NOT fake. No matter how many times you call it “fake” it will NEVER be. You Did it and now your family is paying for it.
Sorry. Just had to put in my 528 colones in there.
“But that’s the way it is. It certainly is not a good thing,” he told McGraw. “And it, yeah, it affects me more than it would if it were just about me. I wish it could be just about me.”
Trump could have easily avoided this by being a decent human being. I guess he doesn’t know how to do this. He’s always played fast and loose with the law and with people. Now it’s come back to bite him and it’s a delightful thing isn’t it?
Donald Trump says it’s “not fair” that Melania has to read the news about him:
