Melania wears all white to host Mrs. Abe. Funeral only attire to the Japanese.

Pics at the daily mail (not linking to that rag).


These trumps could fuck up a biker picnic.

...IF there is such a person remaining in this White House, I imagine them weeping softly into tea well laced with brandy. Mr and Mrs Red Don are utter boors.

Maybe a memorial has the same status as a funeral in Japan?

it isn't all white that Melania is wearing, either. The photos I'm finding have her in white pants.

The corpse wears white, but I can't imagine anyone looking at an all-white outfit and thinking about dead people.

...white Western style confections for a couple of generations.

I am much more concerned about the sheer lack of good manners exhibited by Red Don. There's no State Dinner? Or did I read the photo at Mar A Lago wrong? It looked like they were being fed in the hotel/club dining room surrounded by tables full of expensively dressed club members.

Melania was not in DC so could not act as hostess to show Mrs Abe around our Capitol City and surrounds, including viewing the cherry trees that were a gift from Japan long ago.

Tinyhands tried to break PM Abe's hand in a 20 second display of machismo.

And right from the beginning, just after Benedict Donald was handed the election by Putin, the Japanese delegation that came to visit him in the Golden Tower was shown sitting stiffly in one of the over-furnished gaudy rooms around a coffee table that contained one item of nourishment -- bottles of "Trump" water. I shit you not. I looked again and again. I saw no water glasses. No coffee cups. Not so much as a nut dish. Ivanka was sitting there looking decorative -- couldn't she have fetched a servant fo bring refreshments?

What the hell is wrong with that whole damned family? They disgrace us all. People who live in mud huts have better manners.
