Well, the mystery has been solved!
Everyone was wondering where the hell Melania Trump was during Wednesday’s violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, which resulted in five deaths, including one police officer. Now, CNN reports that she was busy doing a photo shoot.

The once-aspiring model was reportedly taking photos of “rugs and other items in the Executive Residence and the East Wing” for her forthcoming coffee table book as domestic terrorists, emboldened by her husband, swarmed the Capitol building mere blocks away during a joint session of Congress.
How about we take this to the next level?

@FLOTUS are you still First Lady??? Anybody home?

“Professional lighting, the sort used for photography and videography, could be seen through the windows of the White House,” CNN reports, adding that the outgoing First Lady has been rushing to finish the photo project “with her remaining time in the White House dwindling.”
“While images of the mob breaking into the Capitol consumed the airwaves, the first lady was focused–with the White House chief usher, Timothy Harleth–on getting the shoot completed.”
Apparently she was finishing a photo shoot while the coup was going on so she's probably getting a mani pedi today.

As for her radio silence recently, a source also tells CNN that Melania is simply not “in a place mentally or emotionally” to address the nation about the insurrection incited by her family, and that she has completely “checked out” of reality as a coping mechanism.
She’s also dealing with a staffing crisis. Hours after the uprising, Melania’s longtime chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, abruptly quit, followed by several other White House aides, as well as Trump administration cabinet members.

a book that will be direct to the clearance rack like her husband.

Quick question,
Why is it ANY woman who’s modeled can provide proof they were a model. Pictures of catalog shoots, ads, newspaper clips etc.
Melania can’t. Nothing except for a shoot in an off brand porn mag, that people say are often used as calling cards for prostitutes.

Because she was never a “real” model. According to Vanity Fair, she only had one facial expression and she was too stiff. It was impossible for her to book jobs with any fashion house and the only photo shoots she got called to do were for lingerie and not top, expensive brands. As most people have said, the woman was a call girl. Marrying the Dumpster was the smartest thing she ever did because she was close to 30 with zero prospects.

She didn’t even get booked once in her 4 years as first wh0re!

The small handful of higher-profile gigs she got were only because she was attached to Orange Foolius.

So she was naked again?

the pro lighting was so she would look great either on all fours or on her back on those White House rugs.

So, she’s doing a “coffee table book”?? If anyone wants a really great book about the interior designs of the White House, they need to get Obama’s decorator’s book ASAP. I think his name is Michael Smith but I’m not sure. I got the book from the library and it’s amazing and beautifully done. I can’t imagine anyone would want a interior design book done by Mel Trump. I mean, gold is the only color these people know.

actually, fake gold is the only color they know

The level of incompetence is understandable. Trump is white. That’s his qualifications. It was further solidified by the Capital Invasion at the direction of the Fuehrer. The Fuehrer said go and tear down, the plebiscites did just that.
Meanwhile his dear trophy wife was having her Marie Antoinette moment doing a photo shoot. So who is surprised? White incompetence has been a hallmark of this race and thanks to the Fuehrer he has ripped off the makeup and exposed it.
Whenever you’re faced with an explanation of what’s going on in Washington, the choice between incompetence and conspiracy, always choose incompetence.

The only “modeling” the First Skank has done was for the soft porn photos that were taken by her escorting agency. Fact. Melania rents by the hour.

Oh! I thought she did modeling for clay…modeling clay

god- you know it’s bad when Andy Cohen can take the moral high ground over you!

Melanoma was a d list model who did most of her work in European mags, a couple covers and the cover of New York Magazine – as a model only, not editorial.
There are dozens of photos of her in black leather with lesbian and without, Several XXX full nudes. Beaver.
There are many photoshops on Google also.
I imagine at this point Trump will have to self-publish. No publisher will take a chance that the book will sell.

Who cares and really what is wrong with her going about her planned day while the man she likely hasn’t spoken too since he lost reelection sinks to his lowest level yet.

She looks like a transexual person to me. Is there DNA on Baron?
dougie
That’s a bit unkind to trans people. And I’ll have to say that the transpeople I’ve known are decent human beings, unlike melania.
RoughRugger
There are PLENTY of legitimate insults to hurl at Melanoma without resorting to transphobia…
dougie
How can every single member of one family be so absolutely repugnant?

When I heard that Melania was at a photoshoot when he husband, “Been-A-Dick Donald,” was orchestrating his attempted coup a question immediately popped into my mind. Considering that she worked in the past as a model I wonder if she was or was not wearing clothes for this shoot. Trump recently complained that Melania hadn’t been featured in any fashion magazine while she has been First Lady (or as I prefer calling her, “third wife”). I wanted to let him know that most fashion magazines don’t feature fold-outcenterfolds.

I really don’t care about Melania … do u?
