Melania is trying to create Pretty Woman, but no hat will make her husband Richard Gere. He isn't even Richard Dreyfuss.

It's also a reminder of how much Trumpworld is still stuck in the '80s - sadly, all the world parts.

Melania is just as disgusting as her felon hubby. She's no victim.

I will say people should start carrying duck call thingies. Because, even on day #1, this is a lame-duck presidency. (Yes, I realize the GQP and Dump will likely try to change that, BUT three-quarters of Congress is required to appeal and Amendment. And when (because he will) he tries another 1/6, I still think there are enough American (read: not Trump) loyalists that will drive his ass out again. But it will be violent.)

He's still stuck in the '80's, because that's when he still was almost universally loved. 

Back then, most people knew only what the press and shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" told them: that he was this self-made corporate titan, who built his real-estate empire one dollar at a time, using just his two hands and keen business mind.  No one (outside of NYC) knew the truth: that he, in fact, was a "trust fund baby," who knew only how to bankrupt businesses, not build them; and whose fortunes, even at that point, were largely smoke and mirrors.  And even when we DID learn the truth, a lot of us didn't care, because he still lived better than you and I.

If we weren't a culture that worships the rich as blindly as we do, then he would never be where he is tonight.  But, just as you have to recondition a dog that's been allowed to behave inappropriately with no corrections, so, too, we have to re-train our minds to stop looking at people like Donald Trump as gods and start looking at them as what they actually are: men with no conscience, who'd think nothing of profiting off our suffering.

The difference between Melania marrying into the Trump family and Jill Foster marrying into the Abbott family is that Jill was far more clever about it than Melania was.  At least Jill was smart enough to PRETEND she loved John, even if she didn't actually love him, or at least not completely.  Melania, on the other hand, has never made any bones about how she feels about her husband.  Like Wendy Williams once said, all she wanted was a green card and a baby.

Scarred by the many ways President Donald Trump’s first administration rolled back LGBTQ rights, and alarmed by recent court opinions from conservative Supreme Court justices, they feared that the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, could be overturned in the next four years, either by the court or by Trump himself.

WATCH: “THAT’S NOT US… we would never ever perform at a Trump rally or give him the rights.”

An original member of The Village People says Trump was dancing on stage to “YMCA” (known as a gay anthem) with NOT the original group, because a lawsuit gave an ex-member the rights.
