    Human nature in that we (humanity) tend to feel pleasure at the sight of the humiliation of those we demonize or otherwise hate. Am I wrong here? If so, how?

    It's being used to mask and create a false equivalence for the alt-right "supremacists" to hide behind. It's insipid projection.

    Perhaps. But where on earth did you get the idea that the alt-right are white supremacists? That's hilarious :D

    An interesting observation.

    Many members of the Alt-Right are generic low-information hillbillies (who watch Deliverance on loop) who know nothing about the White Supremacist movement.

    Or, they're non-white intellectuals - like the two I know personally.

    The whole thing is a giant troll. The weight behind that 'movement' is not what you've been led to believe (by them ... willingly lapped up by Progs and other assorted dimwits who don't get out much).

    Sometimes what is hidden, sees light when some feel empowered. :)

    Trump's con? Can't stand the man. Not American, and even if I was I would have voted Hillary.

    The difference between me and you is that I'm not religious. I took enough steps back from ideology to see that not everyone on the other side is an idiot.

    OR...

    "Like Donald Trump, perception is said to be key to Melania Trump. Perhaps she thought it somehow wasn’t traditional or professional for first couples to hold hands as they deplane to meet world leaders on official state visits. Anyone who views a video clip of the swat can see that Netanhayu and his wife aren’t holding hands as they get ready for the photo op."

    And sometimes people become so religious about their politics that they stop thinking.

    Totally.

    Not sure why you are off on a religion tangent but that's your thing to follow. Melania is sick of the BS too :).

    These people are hamstrung by their extremely limited understanding cultural mores. Because they would hold hands, everyone should. It's like talking to children. I have no doubt at all that Melancholia loathes Tiny Hands, but that's beside the point. Not holding hands is far more the norm (internationally ... the only context which is valid when it comes to world leaders).

    Your demonisation of that which the Orthodoxy Of Virtue Signalling tells you to demonise, is suggestive of religious mania. Your apparently complete ignorance of what the alt-right is and isn't, is the clue ... in case you're wondering.

    Yep, holding hands at a world meeting of international figures would have looked childish.

    Trump is American born and raised so no excuses. Previous videos has shown that the couple are not blissfully in love. I'm sure his previous wives could tell some interesting stories to tell if they did not have pre-nup gag orders.

    Melancholia is NOT American born. She is entitled to uphold her own social mores, despite her crappy job.

    There is no argument that she loathes him ... who wouldn't? This about the naivety of thinking that elder statesmen/women hand-holding is a) important, and b) normal.

    Not to be superficial but she is God awfully stunning isn't she. Regal. Smart too.

    Yeah Yeah I'm crushin :heart:

    As to the OP. Well I don't know what's going on there but I dont like it. I.. Suspect that it if wasn't for the children she would have left him long ago. She has plenty of money coming to her.

    I don't think this is news but she lost a brownie point with me. In for a penny in for a pound I say and that was very disrespectful of her to do while the world is watching.

    She's smart enough to know that.

    It's absurdly out of context.

    I always thought the Obamas looked childish and fake. Trump instinctively reached for her hand but she knew better. After all, she learned the art of presentation. Heck if she were MY wife I'd have a hard time keeping my hands off her too. Her action actually showed her as more than just a trophy.

    Yes as with the Obamas constantly trying to shove their fake 'Camelot' fantasy on the world showing a complete ignorance of proper protocol.
