Maybe Mrs. Trump is more like Michelle Obama than people think. Though the mutual affection of the Obamas was obvious, Mrs. Obama was also the first first lady to challenge people to accept a woman who refused to play the role of the saccharine, adoring spouse. "I can't do that," she said in 2007 Vanity Fair interview. "That's not me. I love my husband. I think he's one of the most brilliant men I've ever met, and he knows that. But he's not perfect, and I don't want the world to want him to be perfect."

but I am very grateful to her for just being there to end the constant disparagement and insults of America... from her predecessor

They’re experiencing such cognitive dissonance over falling in love with her that they’re trying to invent a progressive-sounding backstory to make themselves feel less uncomfortable about their forbidden attraction.

Let me think about that. Nope. The only similarity I can find is that their titles ended in "of the United States" (__OTUS).

She’s always stunning but that one’s almost surreally beautiful. President Trump, love ya buddy, fantastic job, but I’m sure you won’t mind if we crop you out of that particular photo, lol.

For divorce.

Nonsense. Liberal friends are to be ignored when politics are involved.

I agree! Simply gorgeous with a hint of exotic, 10x better than any Bond girl.

Really?

It looked to me like they desperately hated each other.

It is a huge insult to even mention the Wookie in the same article, let alone the same sentence, of a true First LADY..

Regardless that she’s not elected for anything, the First Lady always plays a very important role, by the way that she conducts herself. Her mere presence and way of doing things informs and changes our culture; and This Lady is doing an amazing job!

The press is doing its best to twist everything as nastily as it can. Don’t Buy Into the silly, twisty-turny crap that journalists are employing as propaganda, in articles like this one.

No way.

She is a lady of class and dignity, and there is no proof nor serious facts to hint that there is a grain of truth in the allegation.

The left is jealous and butt-hurt that they are trying to elevate the Wookie by rhetorically standing the two together.

Hell. I’m grateful I don’t have to look at that angry, hungry, grifting ugly black “woman” anymore.

I think that’s a good observation.
