On Sunday night, Melania Trump spoke at the Ford Theatres annual gala, where she served as honorary chairperson. It was her first major public appearance after her lengthy, and still unexplained, disappearance from the public eye this past month.
The strangeness of this saga reminds us just how much the workings of this administration resemble classic Hollywood thrillers such as Hitchcocks The Lady Vanishes and Rebecca or George Cukors Gaslightall mystery stories surrounding a dead or missing woman, and the desperate anxiety, even near-madness, experienced by another woman trying to solve the mystery, as she grapples with physical danger as well as the deliberate lies and misdirection of those around her. In its treatment of Melanias disappearance, the Trump administration placed us in much the same situation. We desperately tried to make sense of chaos, to fill in the void of information that opened up around an absent woman.
A lot of the excitement in watching these films comes from identifying with the baffled, imperiled heroines. Is Margaret Lockwood hallucinating or was her traveling companion really kidnapped? Can Joan Fontaine figure out what terrible fate befell her husbands first wife, Rebecca? When will Ingrid Bergman realize shes not losing her mind, but being gaslighted by evil Charles Boyer? As these characters race to make sense of chaos, so do we, dreaming up possible answers from clues provided by the movie.
To review briefly this cinematic enigma: Melania Trump enters Walter Reed to undergo, were told, a minor, normally outpatient, procedure for a benign condition, requiringparadoxicallya one-week hospital stay. Although such a procedure would have been scheduled well in advance, the First Ladys hospitalization was not announced beforehand, as would be customary.
At the hospital, witnesses spot Melanias aides dressed in surgical scrubsanother peculiarity that seems to undermine the stated facts.

I think much of this is ugly liberal women who are just plain jealous and bitter.
Because the editor is a snarky dishonest piece of BS?
Would she rather have Melania taking over Cabinet meetings like Hillary did when she was first lady?
How many articles has she written about the health condition of Hillary Clinton?
Bet she didn’t write about Michele Obama’s 2 week absence during the shutdown.

“The first lady isnt even tending to her own vegetable garden, which is rotting away and being overtaken by weeds. Shes hosted a couple of official private meetings, but thats been it.”
“nascent fascism”. When you have to explain why there hasn’t been any fascism...yet.
Dear Vanishing,
It’s generally considered good form to retire to the confines of your boudoir prior to rubbing one out.
Sincerely,
Abby
That thing is insane! Completely made up! What the f*ck is wrong with these people?
There’s something wrong with her face too. Did she have a stroke?
not yet
Hillary is starring in Fall of the House of Usher.
Give me the opportunity and I’ll smack that crooked snide look off her face...
The lack of public appearances by Melania is easily explainable by her ongoing recovery from surgery. Even successful surgery of a routine nature takes a toll. It usually takes a month or two or more before one’s energy level is back to normal, pain has ceased, and previous activities can be resumed in full.
it’s another attempt to tie the word, ‘gaslighting’ to Trump, or in this case, now his spouse. ‘Gaslighting’ was used one way or the other by the MSM what must have been at least 50 times last week.
IF you look you will find that was a 4 hr procedure and a month of flight grounding. That was NO simple Biopsy. Sounds like a benign tumor was removed. So it was a Major surgery, NOT A MINOR 1.
Theres a new critic at the Cut, and shes covered everything from Charlie Mansons effect on fashion to Melanias famed Hurricane Heels.

Where do you people find this cr@p?
The leftists are so used to seeing narcissistic Hillary and Moocheelle craving the spotlight they don’t know what to think of a private person who doesn’t seek attention.
The left is right out of a Hitchcock movie: Psycho (and Frenzy).
