I get the impression that Melania would be fine with that - that she'd take any excuse to be as far as possible away from that stinky lump of congealed fat and bronzer.

...he wants the ground of the debate to be at Columbia, to be conflated with Gaza-Israel, to be complicated by questions about protests and student discipline and the nature of Ivy League education.
It's actually even simpler and stupider and more predictably childish than that.

There's no depth to which that corrupt piece of shit won't stoop if there's money to be made.
And apparently no limit to the blind eyes the rest of the government will turn to him.
As I point out over and over, it's all actually clear evidence of the simple fact that he's profoundly mentally ill.
By any objective standard, the man is a raving lunatic, and deeply emotionally disturbed. He not only shouldn't be president - he shouldn't even be allowed out on his own. He needs extensive mental health care, or barring that, he needs to be kept away from any opportunity to do harm, because he self-evidently is incapable of moderating his own behavior into anything even vaguely approaching healthy.
And the most insane and incomprehensible part of this timeline, to me, is that there are so many people who apparently can't see that, when it's so bludgeoningly obvious, or who can see it but pretend that they don't.
If I didn't know better, I'd assume that somebody went out and found a smelly old derelict locked in an argument with God in a dirty alley somewhere, gave him a shave, a suit and a layer of bronzer, and made him president.
The timing here is what makes this move particularly baffling...
It's only baffling if you cling to the ever-more-laughable belief that the Democrats are any sort of meaningful opposition.
If you instead simply shift to the ever-more-supported belief that they are in fact essentially oligarchic co-conspirators, then the timing makes perfect sense.
And all because Columbia backed out of a $400 million real estate deal with Trump decades ago, and Trump is profoundly mentally ill.
That whole family is just rich white trash, aren't they?
And the bidding will start at $1 billion. Do I hear 1.1 Billion?
Trump isn't into much of anything other than feeding his ego, his greed and his lust. That's another aspect of his fundamental childishness - his desires and motivations are very simple and sybaritic.
However, he's surrounded by people who are stroking hisxegovand whispering in his ear and trying to get him to focus his wandering attention on things they want, and some of them certainly are very much into eugenics. That is in fact an obvious and deliberate implication of replacement theory and pro-natalism - people like Musk see reproduction as a contest between races, and one that they're afraid they're going to lose and are determined to win, by whatever means might serve.
I suspect more strongly all the time that not just a likely consequence but an explicit goal of the coming autocracy is to kill a large number of people.
It's essentially passive eugenics. The idea is to make life as difficult as possible for everyone but the wealthiest few, and again, not just as a consequence of shallow self-interest but deliberately, so that as many people as possible die, and with the idea that the deaths will be most concentrated among the most disadvantaged.
Part of the idea then behind MAGA's obsession with identity politics is to try to arrange things so that groups they don't like are overrepresented among the disadvantaged who will die.
That's also a lot of the reason then behind Musk's creepy pro-natalism - they're trying to get a head start on breeding white fascist replacements for all of the undesirables they intend to kill.
stop pretending that voters base their entire fucking vote on the identity of the candidate as an excuse to run dogshit neoliberal campaigns.
Preach.
Fat lot of good it'll likely do, but still.
Nobody's as bad as he is, but she's certainly an awful human.
But that's not really relevant. It's just that from what I've seen, she tries to stay as far away from him as possible - preferably in another state. So I assume being given an excuse to be in a different coutry would be okay by her.
