I'm not defending Trump, l'm defending Melania.
Because evidently, it's perfectly fine for you and every other left winger here to assault her character, yet in the video, when BARACK HIMSELF says he's afraid of Michelle, lol..you want to blame "White Conservative males".
Spare me the bullshit, AB.
It's ok for the alt-Lefties to call Melania emotionally and physically abused, to say she is treated horribly, that he doesn't love her, that she's his sex toy, his hostage, that she's a slut, a ho, a gold-digger or whatever else you can pull out etc..
But dare say Michelle wears the pants, then it's a "made up lie by weak Conservative White men because they think she looks manly". Yeah, keep thinking that..of course it has nothing to do with her behaviour towards Barack, particularly in his green years.
I remember an interview a long time ago where she was being very condescending towards him in the interview, not unlike how husbands are portrayed in sitcoms.
And l recall the fallout that suggested she needs to put the brakes on her attitude towards him because he is now the POTUS and she can't be mocking him like that in interviews because it undermines his position of Authority that he must exude.
Admittedly she did eventually calm down publicly once she became accustomed him being the POTUS ( before he won the election, she was THE main bread winner bringing home $270,000 a year) and she made it clear in an interview that 'she clearly couldn't have married him for his money, because he had none."
You can sit here all day and deny that Michelle doesn't dominate him, pretend that she is docile and submissive and he's the boss..l really don't care because you're lying to yourself or maybe just lying here.
No way in hell does Barack rule.
He said himself that Michelle was upset when he put time into his Seanate work..
Quote:
“Leaning down to kiss Michelle goodbye in the morning, all I would get was a peck on the cheek. My wife’s anger toward me seemed barely contained.”
I think maybe now he might get his freedom and they will spend more time together (or apart, hello full-time golfing, lol)...So who knows. (I'm banking on the latter)

So what if Melanie stays with her son until he finishes out the year. Since when is this First couple conventional? Presidents are not obligated or required to live there. IGeorge Washington didn't live there..In fact Trump has the plane and the money to commute if he so wished to, but he chose to not, just like he chose to decline the $400,000 Presidential salary. (What a "monster!")
U mean seriously..THAT'S the worst thing you can find on Melanie as his wife and FLOTUS...that she puts her son first and appears subbmissive to her powerful husband?
Yet once again, to point out your hypocrisy..you state Michelle is too..but somehow that suddenly become a good thing to you because it's 'Michelle'?. Please.
Melania is given all kinds of passes as First Lady that Michelle Obama, or any First Lady, would never be given.
The woman has posed nude and for 99% of presidential First Ladies, that would be a campaign killer for their husband.
No way in hell would Dubya or Barack Obama have been elected POTUS if their wives had these kinds of photos out in the public.
THis is Trump's THIRD marriage, unlike Barack or Hillary. Right there that tells me the man has a problem with long term relationships.
The man is a pig when it comes to women. Period. End of story.

I don't give a fuck who 'wears the pants' in the Obamas' relationship.
What I have a problem with is weak conservative White men saying Michelle isn't really a WOMAN, which is the overriding message from the vid you posted.
A wife isn't allowed to get mad at her husband?? That somehow makes her worthy of unceasing criticism from political rivals??
Most women from what I see or read don't enjoy or look forward to their husbands' pursuing public office because it can be so disruptive to the family dynamic. HRC didn't like it. Most spouses don't.
Nonetheless, what I'm talking about is deeper than that. Michelle Obama has be described as a MAN, an APE, a CHIMP, none of which has anything to do with her relationship with Barack.
No one has argued or required that Michelle is submissive or docile. She and her husband are partners, equals. I assume they don't feel the need to play any particular roles in their relationship. They're married because the LOVE each other, not because one will subordinate who they are for the other.
That's not what this is about anyway.
The reason the vid you posted was out of bounds is because it reinforces the idea that Michelle Obama isn't really a WOMAN. Conservatives loves to snicker in private that Michelle Obama is a man and that Barack is gay. You played along with this garbage by posting that disgusting YT video.
This attack on Michelle Obama about her gender and species is all about her RACE, not her relationship with Barack.
You don't think for a second that Nancy was the driving force behind her relationship with Ronald Reagan??
The woman was a pit bull when it came to protecting and defending her husband when he was elected POTUS, yet NO ONE started to question her DNA or gender.

Mrs. Reagan was a fierce guardian of her husband’s image, sometimes at the expense of her own, and during Mr. Reagan’s improbable climb from a Hollywood acting career to the governorship of California and ultimately the White House, she was a trusted adviser.
“Without Nancy, there would have been no Governor Reagan, no President Reagan,” said Michael K. Deaver, a longtime aide and close friend of the Reagans who died in 2007.
Was Ron Reagan 'henpecked' or less of a man?? Was Nancy Reagan an APE?? Did she have a penis because she was basically Reagan's top adviser in the WH??
That's why I said the vid you posted was racist and sexist.
Back to Melania, this is what I know.
(I believe) she's the first, First Lady who made up some crap excuse to NOT to move into the WH with her husband after he was elected POTUS.
And we can see from photos there's an obvious pain on her face when she's around her husband, and I'm not talking about a millisecond freeze frame of a random photo.
We also saw when the Trumps formally met the Obamas at the WH, Trump acted like Melania wasn't even there once he got out of his SUV truck.
Trump is from the generation where MEN got out first and HELD OPEN the car door for their wives and significant others in formal situations.
Donald isn't some 20something 21st century hipster who doesn't know any better.
To see Trump publicly diss his wife the way he did compared to Barack IMO is very telling.
