I was born during Pat Nixon’s reign— but was too young to be aware of her, thank glob.

I recognize that quite well. That ain’t relationship hand holding. That’s caregiver hand holding. It lets her raise her arm as support for his doddering ass to clutch on to.

Ah; that green dress in the first pic, and the unexpected POW of the shoes. Love it. Such style.

I cry daily.

It looks like he is holding her fist. I think she is wishing for a payout and to leave so that Hope Hicks can take over as the person who deals with Trump’s gross tiny hands.

OH MY GOD THAT THIRD PHOTO

Oof that is painful to see. This new USA sucks so much.

Donald is holding Melania’s hand, whether she wants it held or not. Her hand makes almost a fist (and would be a full fist if she weren’t borrowing black panther’s claws for the Pearl Harbor visit). You can’t clasp hands with someone’s fist, so Donald has to make due with the ball of fingers.

Same here. Michelle is everything.

I think she is making a fist and he is holding that. Probably because trump has clammy, sweaty hands the feel like your holding a dead fish, so she doesnt want her palms touching his.

I am doing the same thing and am wondering if my husband will think I am crazy to ask him to help me reproduce this.

My stomach clenches when I see the title FLOTUS and it’s Melania. Michelle O will always be my FLOTUS!

I’m here with my two hands like an idiot trying to figure out what’s going on... It seems she’s deigning to hold his pinky? Maybe?

Deficits only matter when Democratic Presidents desperately try to reign them in, not when Republican Presidents balloon them without need or cause.

That statement is crazy. The Democratic Party can do what every they like. Any political party in the US is only truly accountable to their members for this type if thing. It wasn’t that long ago, that the nominee was chosen at a convention by secret ballot with the delegates. There were no primaries and you didn’t…

Do you find that you are just so tired all the time that even doing fun stuff takes so much effort?

Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?!

It’s even worse than that. This is Trump, in a backhanded manner, publicly pressuring the DOJ to follow his orders. By law he’s not allowed to go to them and order them to do something. But there’s no law that says he can’t go out publicly and say “I sure wish they would do the thing I want them to do.”

I defy anyone to read this and not fear for the future of our democracy.

I’m betting ‘apple-septic’
