"Melania is there and I don't want to cause any kind of jealousy or anything like that because I'm the first Trump wife. I'm the first lady, ok?"

Ivana Trump said.

Funniest thing I've read since they've found "Santa Claus's tomb."

DACA isn't about children who were born here, it's about "childhood arrivals". At least she admits she finds it confusing.; 10/9/17, 10:51 AM

But when he needed more earthyness and less competition from HIS woman, she was fired.

Now the Donald has both.; 10/9/17, 10:57 AM

Trump acts like a lot of successful men, always willing trade in the current wife for a newer model.; 10/9/17, 11:04 AM

That sounds fine to me.; 10/9/17, 2:49 PM
Beldar said...: The capitalization is important there, and the transcriber's choice -- "First Lady" or "first lady" -- nearly outcome dispositive on the appropriateness of the remark.; 10/9/17, 3:43 PM

It appears you need to expand your circle of successful men.; 10/9/17, 5:40 PM
