Sorry to hear. One of the classiest First Lady's ever, especially given the country she came from and all she achieved.

Melania did not die.

Melania's mother died.


I see that Melania's mom was born in 1945. Just 1 year older than her son in law Donald.

Yeah, he campaigned in Iowa that night, so obviously, he's really broken up over it.

She is FLUENT in five languages. Surely that is a first for First Ladies.

Official "going to hell for this" comment:

Was she hot?

Lou Hoover is pretty impressive, attended Stanford and spoke Latin and Mandarin, writing books in both.

She was from the Baltic region…….there was certainly a window of time that she was….whether that window had closed or not.

Good grief, that's a bad take.

Still, I would have expected the judge to show a little respect and deference for a passing in the family. This was a petty move by the judge.

Impressive….as would be any combination of THREE….including Spanish, French and English.

In fairness, Latin has long been a dead language…..but not an extinct language….no was has fluently conversed in Latin for centuries. My business partner taught Latin courses at Oxford…he would assure you that he is not fluent in Latin.

Lou Hoover's non-linguistic accomplishments seem to have far surpassed those of Melania Trump. Although, I'm going to have to give Melania the nod for most patience.

I'm sure the judge would have given him a few days. His lawyer asked for 20 and that's ridiculous.

And on top of that, his presence in the court room is not required in this case, so go be with your wife and mourn the loss of your MIL. But the problem here is, he won't do it.

Wasn't aware of the 20 day request. Yeah, that's a little egregious. Thanks for the clarification.

A couple of weeks ago they (unsuccessfully) asked the 2nd Circuit court to indefinitely postpone this trial. This was a not so veiled attempt to take advantage of a family death
