It's scary how much you can zoom in. Who needs estimates, you could probably count the number of people using this photo. :wink:

If they had Make America Great Again hats on they would be fired by now.

To be fair, Melania has passed her expiration date. It must be tough for the D to look around and realize he's married to someone only about two thirds his age.

Watching Trump supporter rage at the women's march has been one of the most enjoyable parts of the past couple of days. You can just see the blood boiling as they realize how many mental gymnastics they must perform to criticize something as basic as equal rights for women without sounding like total assholes.

Do we think that Melania had the White House departing gift color-coordinated with her outfit, or was that just dumb luck?

That video looks like it was reversed, which if so, completely changes the interpretation.

Isn't Ivanka doing the same thing? Seems only natural to give a toothy smile when being looked at.

It accurate but seems out of context and normal unless slowed down and isolated. That said, We just dealt with how many HRC is crazy old lady pictures?

It's only day 3. I'm sure we'll have many more months of clips showing exactly how much Donald loves Melania. And vice versa.

I was mostly just noticing the matching gift and the lack of waiting for her on Trump's part. Judging moods by candid photos is fraught with danger, it's all in the timing on the click. And of course it's fluff with no importance, just shared for fun.

Ah, good to know. The reporter I follow on twitter who posted it had removed it under questions that it might have been reversed. Glad (sad?) to see that's not the case.

It doesn't. You are wrong. :-P

No one "turns back" like that, however one does returns to a forward position exactly the way that looks.

But, what I'm more interested in is what would the "reverse" of that video change... Like she was sad until he looked at her, and she forced a smile?

Cause it currently looks like he forced her smile, and then she looked sad when she wasn't being looked at....

Like, it looks to me if this WAS reversed, it would just change the order of those two things, not the interpretation at all.

Explain yourself!
:D

I saw that video yesterday, and I must say - it really creeped me out.... She seriously looks almost pained to be in the middle of this.

yep OK. I stand corrected that it wouldn't make a difference. Now that I see the reversed video, it would look weird the other way, but yes, not 'as horrible'.

I'm far less interested in what this suggests about their relationship than in what Trump's sexual harassment and prostitutes suggest about their relationship.

That's actually pretty cool. It makes it look like she is using some sort of mind control power on him. It gives her a sort of Emma Frost vibe, and that ain't a bad thing. :)

I do find it interesting that she looks so dejected when he isn't looking at her. She was a professional model, so I'd expect her to have long since mastered the art of smiling-by-default when in the public eye like this.

Technically that should be a slider, given that a proper "Trumpburger" would be scaled to fit in his tiny hands.
