Dysfunction Junction: Trump Women Edition

In her unauthorized biography of First Second Third Lady Melania "Melanie" Trump, CNN White (Supremacist) House reporter Kate Bennett reveals some interesting details about Melanie and her relationship with her chief rival (in numerous ways), daddy's little girl Ivanka "Complicit" Trump. In a word, "meow."

Titled "Free, Melania," the book, which will be released this week, contains the following tidbits:

“Having covered her for as long as I have, each thing she does has meaning to it, even the clothing she wears,” Bennett writes. 

First there was the pink pussy-bow blouse Mrs. Trump wore to an October 2016 debate after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape where her husband bragged about grabbing women’s genitals. Then there was the white pantsuit at the 2018 State of the Union (Bennett writes, “I have a theory that when the Trumps are unhappy with each other, Melania wears menswear — because Trump notoriously likes to see women in tight, short, ubersexy and feminine dresses”) [snip] 

But no single item of clothing has inspired more discussion than the $39 army-green Zara parka Mrs. Trump wore on a June 2018 trip to the border — the one with the words “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” printed on the back. There have been many takes, but Bennett’s is that it was directed at the president’s daughter, Ivanka. “I believed, and still do, that the jacket was a facetious jab at Ivanka and her near-constant attempts to attach herself for positive administration talking points,” Bennett writes. [snip] 

Bennett writes that Ivanka’s international travel rankles her stepmother: “The trips were, according to a source, too close for comfort for Melania, who thought Ivanka was invading her turf.” (our emphasis)

Anytime Ivanka's in the presence of her lusting daddy, she's invading Melanie's turf. There's also the fact that the Trumps sleep in separate bedrooms -- on separate floors -- the rare sign that she has some modicum of sanity and self-respect at least not to share his soiled bed. "Free, Melania" should make an ideal Christmas gift for the Third Lady to convey her presumed private thoughts to her unhinged hubby, since they don't engage in pillow talk these days.
