When two of his casino executives died in a helicopter crash in 1989, Trump attended the funeral for Mark Grossinger Etess. Etess' brother broke down in tears while delivering the eulogy.

Trump remarked how he could never do what Estess' brother did. When pressed to clarify, Trump did just that: he said that he could never cry like that in public and "look like any asshole".

(Anecdote taken from the book Trumped! by John R. O'Donnell.)

since before his memory kicked in. i mean it.

But genuine sadness borne of loss, of humanity? No way.

And Melania “fooking hates kreesmas!”

would sour anyone’s persona.

in place as Putin's "control" over Donald.Biggest Melania smile ever photographed was when she met Putin! Second, when she met Trudeau!!!

Melania is a terrible human being, and she accomplished that independently, as a fully grown adult person.

I don't have time to look for it now, but I remember a similar discussion about it being such a weirdly appropriate thing for him to say.

The fact that he knows his will not has definitely been on his mind for awhile. Awwww ... SAD!

When isn't she stone faced? (I know, when Trudeau is around, but I mean in general.)

but almost as bad is the crowd giggling and cooing like automatons. melania's reaction is more honest.

we're getting really close to the shithole designation

He's reaching back to what worked in his first term MAGAt rallies.

The jaw, moving side to side, gripping the lectern, the smirk.

And yeah, that sing-song voice.

I can no longer listen to him...not even for a few seconds.

He’s such an ass! He’s humiliated her with the Stormy situation in the public eye. It was apparent she was relived when his first term was over. It was clear she wanted none of it.

And when he decided to run again, she likely had to postpone divorce or other separation agreements. She has been as unsupportive as she can be. I’d want $$ for being his public escort as well.

And now the Epstein stuff is coming to light and she’s implicated as well.

She knows his background and his addictions. She may be relieved to know his days are numbered —and may not be crying when he’s gone.

I’m trying not to defend her (she made her bed) —but I won’t be crying either for the final exit of this utter disaster of a human being.

The WIZARD has passed on and she couldn't be happier.

But of course, she will shed crocodile tears as the FAKE platitudes are paid to her LYING SACK OF SHIT that was her husband.

Just my 2 cents worth.
