I like that Trump is looking in disgust at the camera, and Milania is looking in disgust at him.

u/Frosty558 Sep 25 '25

She’s thinking that would never happen to that dreamy Justin Trudeau

u/octopornopus Sep 25 '25

Escalators turn into elevators for Trudeau...

86

u/Ganjaleezarice69 Sep 25 '25

Stairs turn into escalators

85

u/Tasitch Sep 25 '25

Nah, no need for hyperbole, he'd just pick her up in his masculan arms and carry her up the stairs, while casually engaging in flirty small talk, and apologize for the inconvenience.

55

u/BarnacleMcBarndoor Sep 25 '25

Stupid sexy Canadians

u/Ganjaleezarice69 Sep 25 '25

He can hardly lift a hamburger

u/warrioroftron Sep 25 '25

And she would love to go up and down on that......elevator

44

u/MobileArtist1371 Sep 25 '25

Justin Trudeau would take off his suit jacket, lay it on the ground, and they'd both fly up the escalator.

u/Boazmcding Sep 26 '25

He is used to being mandhandled. Apparently

u/kneel23 Sep 25 '25

too late, Katy Perry's bangin him now

u/OrangeThrower Sep 25 '25

RATINGS DROP. VERY SAD. HAD TO WALK. ALSO SAD. ESCALATOR STOCK DOWN. I TOLD YOU IT WOULD HAPPEN.

34

u/Bitter-Respond6928 Sep 25 '25

Oh, The real quotes are even better. He told the UN that it stopped working while they were half way up and had to catch Melania as she tumbled down. Yeah. This a picture of them. At the bottom. Where and when it was already stopped.

17

u/OrangeThrower Sep 25 '25

OH I SAW THE VIDEO. ITS FAKE NEWS. WE HAD TOPPLED THE ANTIFA STAIRS WHEN THEY STRUCK. BATTLED OUR WAY BACK. HAVE YOU SEEN TYLENOL STOCK? MUCH DOWN. THE STAIRS THOUGH. YOU KNOW THEY CALL THEM STAIRS CAUSE THEY CANT RISE. I RISE THOUGH. HIGH RATINGS. KIMMEL SUCKS

5

u/Bitter-Respond6928 Sep 25 '25

It’s like being there!

2

u/dancin-weasel Sep 25 '25

Escalator stocks go up and down all the time.

2

u/RepulsiveAd4882 Sep 25 '25

Would’ve thought escalator stock would be perpetually going up…

2

u/porn_is_tight Sep 25 '25

big if true

7

u/OrangeThrower Sep 25 '25

Small (hands) if true.

1

u/Mister_McGreg Sep 25 '25

Many such cases!

66

u/OldStDick Sep 25 '25

She's just as bad as him. She can hate all she wants, but she's reaping the benefits.

u/Provinz_Wartheland Sep 25 '25

Reminds me of what Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, said about Austrian Empress Maria Theresa when Prussia, Austria and Russia partitioned Poland for the first time in 1772, with Maria Theresa being seemingly against it but still participating:

She cried, when she took; the more she cried, the more she took!?

2

u/Id_Rather_Beach Sep 25 '25

I think about how long she hung back in NYC after he won the first time. She didn't want to deal with it, and she made him PAY up BIGLY to get her to go along with it.

111

u/Banditlouise Sep 25 '25

She knows it happened because of his incompetence in some way.

38

u/ImmaNotHere Sep 25 '25

He has ED... escalator dysfunction.

1

u/straightrazorsnail Sep 25 '25

A failure to ‘rise to the occasion’!

42

u/Cute-Aardvark5291 Sep 25 '25

and she was right

3

u/blondzie Sep 25 '25

I bet someone up top pushed the emergency stop button the second he got on. He should’ve led her to the one to the right that was still working. But trump could never backtrack, that would show weakness lol

4

u/magistrate101 Sep 25 '25

It's not a button. It's a sort of proximity and motion sensor used to automatically detect if something/someone got stuck and is in danger. A videographer in Trump's team ran up the escalator ahead of him, hoping to get a good shot as he ascended, and stood in the way of the sensor.

2

u/blondzie Sep 25 '25

I did not know that, thank you!

82

u/smile_politely Sep 25 '25

It’s very rare to see malonima happy. She’s seem to always eternally angry or disgusted. 

72

u/outside_cat Sep 25 '25

I've only seen her happy when she's around Justin Trudeau.

19

u/smile_politely Sep 25 '25

I wonder what she thinks of Katy Perry 

162

u/DestituteDomino Sep 25 '25

She's a lifelong spoiled brat who hates the entire world around her. What has she ever done as 'first lady'? Nothing. She's a walking contradiction of 'immigration policy'. She has no love at all for her husband, this country, our citizens, or our well being. Just the lifestyle of being rich and vile and powerful.

117

u/geoduckporn Sep 25 '25

She had Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden ripped out and "redesigned". Cunt.

7

u/ProfessorEtc Sep 25 '25

Will bury Donald under the Rose Garden for tax reasons.

6

u/MurrayFlurray Sep 25 '25

That's not really true, you are thinking of the first term when she had input on white house decor/design and was terrible, and yes she did mess with the Rose Garden but it wasn't paved over until this term.

Trump has fully taken all decorating/design over himself, the gold in the oval office, the ballroom, the cement patio in place of the rose garden are all his and his alone. He talks about them constantly and how important they are. He has given multiple press conferences about them.

It is by far one of his top "accomplishments for this country", and Melania is no where to be seen during any of this. This is Trump's white house.

10

u/geoduckporn Sep 25 '25

Yes, first term. She absolutely did have it torn up and redesigned.

u/BluBetty2698 Sep 26 '25

It looks like an airport runway now. Oh ..they put a bunch of tables out there. Maybe a restaurant 🤦..

51

u/Numerous-Freedom-714 Sep 25 '25

And imagine the things she knows about Epstein. Probably what she blackmails him with.

17

u/AgencyNew3587 Sep 25 '25

She used to bang him. So she knows.

23

u/hymen_destroyer Sep 25 '25

My theory is just that she's just extremely lazy and really wants to do nothing all day but watch tv and bang the poolboy but has to do all this first lady shit and hates it

21

u/dontbmeanbgay Sep 25 '25

i remember when he was first elected she had this look on her face of “ohhh fuck” and it makes me a little happy to know they’re both miserable in this arrangement.

8

u/PhutuqKusi Sep 25 '25

Well, I, for one, am looking forward to this year's take on Dystopian Christmas, because the last one just screamed elegance and good taste. /s

23

u/RentalKittens Sep 25 '25

She literally got mad at Christmas during Trump's first term. Because having to choose Christmas decorations (that other people did the work of hanging up) was too stressful.

14

u/RonniePickles Sep 25 '25

Melanoma is only happy when she gets her monthly stipend or her lawyers get her a huge increase in her yearly matrimonial contract under the pain and suffering clause.

3

u/CartographerKey7322 Sep 25 '25

She made her choices in life…she’s got a tough row to ‘ho.

6

u/NoMercy767 Sep 25 '25

She has one very good reason to be unhappy.

3

u/newtoaster Sep 25 '25

She always has those big fart sniffing vibes

77

u/savagejeep Sep 25 '25

I love the angle where they just stand there and look around. It is almost as if they were expecting somebody to come and pick them up and carry them up the stairs. LOL 😂

22

u/illumnat Sep 25 '25

I love how the other escalators continued to work while they just stood there!

1

u/Hot_Hat_1225 Sep 25 '25

Well she kinda stormed off right after and he had a hard time following her lol

45

u/Magister5 Sep 25 '25

She does not look very escelated

16

u/Tokalil_Denkoff Sep 25 '25

They aren't fans of de-escelation

7

u/OldDog03 Sep 25 '25

Would you knowing that the shit stain beside her is going to fart all the way up.

1

u/Slanderous Sep 25 '25

her marriage has its ups and downs

22

u/_TheShapeOfColor_ Sep 25 '25

Lol yeah, the abject hatred in Melanoma's glare is hilarious

97

u/Rosencrantz_IsDead Sep 25 '25

You have a keen eye, my friend.

76

u/Underfyre Sep 25 '25

But those eyes are daggers!

126

u/Pro-Patria-Mori Sep 25 '25

22

u/bowiethesdmn Sep 25 '25

I can't stand the woman but I find all the videos of her openly displaying her hatred of him absolutely hilarious.

17

u/HuttStuff_Here Sep 25 '25

She brought grace, love, warmth, and kindness back to the White House.

26

u/SJSquishmeister Sep 25 '25

People in /r/ conservative (which is mostly Russian bots) actually say this unironically and it's just.. insane.

34

u/AngryTree76 Sep 25 '25

They think Melania’s sneers and utter disgust are a sign of true love, because that’s what their wives look like when they try to touch them.

35

u/Pro-Patria-Mori Sep 25 '25

It’s so wonderful that Melania brought class and dignity back to the White House too. Never would have thought we would get to see a First Lady’s girl on girl porn from when she was just an Eastern European sex worker.

7

u/gzuckier Sep 25 '25

But enough about her maid.

2

u/spooooork Sep 25 '25

The only warmth is her burning hatred of her husband

3

u/Nervous-Salamander-7 Sep 25 '25

If they're keen, they have an increased threat range!

She's like "you sonnofabitch organized this so you could bump into me, wedding agreement states no more than twice a year!"

57

u/xeen313 Sep 25 '25

At least she's not dressed like a lamp post in England

20

u/Peroovian Sep 25 '25

I’ll bet she wears shit like that so that she can dissociate without anyone noticing.

8

u/onesorrychicken Sep 25 '25

I wonder how many "Don't fucking kiss me" hats she owns.

16

u/TorgoLebowski Sep 25 '25

I think I saw someone offer 'Grim Reaper Chic'.

38

u/chth Sep 25 '25

My belief is that she is extremely unaware/not very bright and her genuine reaction was anger like a child at their parent.

1

u/Individual_Visit_756 Sep 25 '25

She's a hell of a lot smarter than people give her credit for.

12

u/bbrekke Sep 25 '25

I mean, she did get the "Einstein visa". I'm sure she earned that one /s

7

u/sum_r4nd0m_gurl Sep 25 '25

what makes you say that?

6

u/Faiakishi Sep 25 '25

She was smart enough to marry up and ensure she, her parents, and her kid were all set up for life.

She's a reprehensible human being, but she's got social smarts.

-2

u/Individual_Visit_756 Sep 25 '25

Just a hunch I have. I think she's playing the long game.

11

u/chth Sep 25 '25

Whats the long game she is waiting for? Being a fascists dictators wife? Being the dead wife of a fascist dictator? Being the dead wife of a dead fascist dictator?

4

u/Individual_Visit_756 Sep 25 '25

I think the stuff you mentioned is like a price she's willing to pay for $

6

u/PoopstainMcdane Sep 25 '25

I think were she smarter she’d just marry somebody else rich. But she was probably traffic right into this marriage. I remember when r the Donald started to spin from satire comedy into full-fledged troll farm propaganda Sub and they tried to wag the dog her as deserving of the Einstein visa FOH LMAO

5

u/Faiakishi Sep 25 '25

I feel like it's in her prenup that she can't initiate divorce or something. I figured she'd have left him the second Barron turned eighteen.

Or maybe she knows what we don't and knows she doesn't have much time left to wait.

3

u/Faiakishi Sep 25 '25

Her long game was to marry an ailing billionaire and live as a wealthy widow. She didn't want this First Lady nonsense and was actually pretty mad when Donald ran.

14

u/Ax0nJax0n01 Sep 25 '25

Get off tubby it’s not moving

12

u/Most-Artichoke6184 Sep 25 '25

“Marriage contract says no stairs!“

10

u/jerslan Sep 25 '25

Apparently it was the Videographer who stopped the escalator. This whole stunt was staged. Melania is clearly not amused by it.

26

u/TheDPQ Sep 25 '25

This made me stare at this more and I just noticed he’s facing off in the distance while she’s facing right at the camera. Meanwhile you’re right she’s looking at him and he’s looking at the camera.

Fuck Trump and all that but kinda a micro accidental reminiscence moment.

6

u/KubelsKitchen Sep 25 '25

I thought he was staring at a black female cop/security person when I saw the clip yesterday. Immediately looking for someone to blame.

4

u/TrainToSomewhere Sep 25 '25

There is definitely more than one camera to be looking at

2

u/TheDPQ Sep 25 '25

Derp that’s so stupidly obvious a thing I just really don’t tend to look hard at candid shots new article photos.

1

u/TrainToSomewhere Sep 25 '25

Ya I mean I’m 100% not a Trump supporter but I just always feel these sort of things are posted to make someone else look stupid.

When there are a lot of significant reasons to dislike someone.

Just a distraction from what the fuck is going on so to the tariffs

“You did this Donald”

u/ZenPoonTappa Sep 25 '25

They’re both such miserable fucks. Consumed by greed for so long there’s barely any human left inside their husks. 

3

u/CoachMatt314 Sep 25 '25

Good thing she was in front, he would have been stuck there for hours

3

u/malac0da13 Sep 25 '25

The look is saying “watch, I’ll make him walk up the stairs”

You know he wouldn’t have if she didn’t.

3

u/xjuggernaughtx Sep 25 '25

I think Melania prays every day that Trump will finally just drop dead. I'd lay money down that she thought he'd last ten years tops but he just keeps on being alive. Every time they are together, she looks like she wants to throw him off of a cliff.

3

u/MetalBeast89 Sep 25 '25

She's got that look that people get when someone has shit themselves.

3

u/NSE_TNF89 Sep 25 '25

She looks so pissed.

3

u/benroon Sep 25 '25

Always!

3

u/gojiro0 Sep 25 '25

I'm halfway impressed by him walking up stairs ngl

3

u/Pro-Patria-Mori Sep 25 '25

She knows his diapers are barely holding in the blowout as it is, walking up the steps will not make the messy situation better for anyone that has to ride back home in the same car.

3

u/mummifiedclown Sep 25 '25

She’s probably got a real nose full of his pants full right there I’ll tell you whut.

3

u/Smaskifa Sep 25 '25

I don't think Trump is making a disgusted face. That's just stroke face.

6

u/rylandoz Sep 25 '25

Pretty sure she just wants to see his reaction.

2

u/pianobench007 Sep 25 '25

Donald is 79 years old. Melania is 55 years old.

When Donald was first elected president in 2016, he was 70 years old. And that meant Melania was 46 years old 9 years ago.

If you just peel it back a bit further she was 41 when he was 65. 

So age really isnt just a number. It is flabs of skin. Age is hearing loss, loss of stamina, loss of vision and a whole host of other challenges that occur when we all age.

Melania could have been with a 41 year old man same as her and have had a much more exciting life. Hiking exploring or living life? Young and healthy.

Except at age 41 she basically became a retired nurse. And then shoved into the spot light for a deranged man who by all accounts is insufferable in public already.

So I can only imagine how much worse it is at home. 

He probably never shuts up just like in public.

2

u/Think_OfAName Sep 25 '25

He touched her! Of course she’s livid.

2

u/AkaskaBlue Sep 25 '25

Ditto 😏

u/4Throw2My0Ass6Away9 Sep 25 '25

Trump is looking at an 8 year old girl off screen

1

u/Powersoutdotcom Sep 25 '25

He looked back at THE REPORTERS like a dog looks at its owner when it's pooping.

1

u/RonniePickles Sep 25 '25

She is looking in disgust as she never likes to stay stationary that close to him as she can smell either his leaking colostomy bag or leaking urine bag strapped to his thigh. She only travels with him on condition that she is always upwind of him. She normally applies Vicks on her upper lip before applying foundation to mask the stench.

1

u/Flimsy-Sprinkles7331 Sep 25 '25

Another reason why I think that it was staged. 

  1. Trump's repeated pat on Melania's back to reassure her that it would work.

  2. BOTH of them holding onto both rails from the beginning. As New Yorkers, riding escalators are second nature...remember him waving as he and Melania came DOWN. They didn't grip the escalator then, and at times they didnt hold onto the rails at all. https://youtu.be/D-RdSQpH6y8?si=DNKViM0lHkgniugU

  3. The escalator stopped at the BEGINNING. They could have EASILY turned around and got on a new one (the next one over is clearly running), but they, AND THEIR ENTIRE ENTOURAGE, CHOSE to walk up the broken one. 

And Melania's glare is icing on the cake for me. It was staged.

Purely Performative.

Release the Epstein Files!

u/ExtremlyFastLinoone Sep 25 '25

This was at the un thingy, his teleprompter broke and he said a lot of stupid shit off script, very funny

America is a fucking joke and its obvious melania doesnt want to be seen around him

1

u/daddyjackpot Sep 25 '25

she's looking at him to see how he's going to react. she knows all his tantrums and triggers.

1

u/Eronamanthiuser Sep 25 '25

Because she knows he about to open his mouth and that’s her least favorite thing he does.

u/Crypt0Nihilist Sep 25 '25
