while everything goes to shit, and basic goods remain unaffordable, Dear Leader's Slovenian rent-a-wife is on social media, bragging about the lavish State Dinners she throws. shut the fuck up, Mel. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I go ballistic. link is here: bit.ly/4hbPlPl
at a time when We the People are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table, here’s our First Escort, bragging about how opulent State Dinners are.

shut the fuck up, Melly. no one gives a shit.

don’t you love how that video implies that Melania is personally involved in arranging the table settings? oh please — none of that shit is happening. there’s a whole White House staff whose job is to take care of that stuff.

just like the husband-in-name-only who she refuses to live with, she just swoops in at the last minute to take credit for other people’s work — and she’s probably a self-entitled nightmare to deal with.

trust me, Melania’s only involvement in these State Dinners is making sure that Diaper Nurse Natty’s place card goes missing.
