OK, but they're not laughing because it's a stupid statement, unfortunately. They're laughing because he's mugging for the camera.

To pay her for the extra show up times. Probably because they think it makes him look younger as if!

Truth is, I can't come up with someone who has a darker soul. She really is bipolar and passive-aggressive. They keep trying to tap into the Smiley Melania thing, confident that none of us have seen her scowling and seething and petulant.

One assumes she understands she will out live her husband by decades and wants desperately to find a post Trump role.

mum lived in America a long time and when I went back to where she came from in England I realized that although she still had an accent, it had become much more Americanized - it's like Melania's accent never evolved AT ALL.

It looked like she hadn't even seen the speech before she read it out loud. I wonder if she even knows what the word "empathy" means.

They don't even try to make this shit sound believable. Everyday is opposite day in Trump Land.

Empathy isn't self pity feeling sorry for yourself because people don't like you. It's showing compassion towards others, something your husband has none of.
