With just a few short days left until the 2020 presidential election, it seems as though Donald Trump has dragged his third and current wife, First Lady Melania, out of her suite in the White House to do some pandering for his flailing reelection campaign.
Typically speaking, especially over the last several months, Melania has been the quietest member of the Trump crew, mostly keeping to herself with very little public comments. Whether that was a result of the still-raging pandemic (that she, her husband, and her son manage to contract, no less) or an effort to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible after her old pal Stephanie Winston Wolkoff busted her out with a tell-all book and several unflattering, secretly recorded tapes. But desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose. And if the Trump campaign is anything right now, it’s desperate.
So, Melania emerged from the White House and took to the campaign trail on her husband’s behalf, spouting off your typical Trumpian nonsense like a good little mail-order wife — such as a video declaring Donald’s alleged love for the LGBTQ+ community, as if we just can’t remember that he’s actively working to strip them of basic human rights.
Frankly, it’s been pretty peculiar behavior out of the First Lady. However, it seems that Donald is almost, maybe a little grateful for his wife’s desperate attempts to save their asses.
As I’m sure you know, Donald has been quite literally filling his days with campaign rallies ahead of the election, and recently his third wife attended one of the events.

As the rally was concluding, Melania joined Trump on stage, where they then embraced in front of the crowd, hugging and kissing each other for everyone to see:

They’re trying to emulate Joe and Dr. Jill, who are the real deal.

Unfortunately, he was in front of an audience, so he wasn’t able to grab anything.

If there were two humans on that podium, I’d call it familial affection. But knowing that species, it was some form of mating ritual.

Kiss on the left, kiss on the right, a little arm patting – perfect greeting for grandpa.

Prenup renegotiated. How much more did he have to pay her?

I have to say, I agree with some of these assessments — it seems the “couple” is attempting to emulate or imitate what they’ve seen from the Bidens, a true, loving couple. Because at this point, it seems they’re willing to try anything to get a leg up. Even kissing each other.
