Why did Melania refuse to ride in the same car with Donald after her mom’s funeral?

Did she?

Go to the linked audio to find out.

If any of this is true...my guess is that he knew she was at the end and decided to campaign rather than be with his wife, by her mother's side. I'm not sure, but I think Trump was at Fox for a 'town hall' type thing while there was a GOP debate, right about the time Melania's mother passed. Maybe she felt slighted that, if he's not going to debate, he could at least be with her, rather than go on Fox? Prior to the Fox news thing and debate, I think he was in court a day or two prior. Perhaps she felt he could have asked for a re-scheduling of the court appearance, given the circumstances. I can't imagine the court would deny a short delay, given this situation.

Anyway...I'm guessing that whatever it was, he chose to be away, knowing her mother was about to pass.

ETA - I didn't go to any of the links posted before making my comment.

I didn’t see the humor in that.

But humor is subjective.

I think that this is funny:

Pretty sure he did and the judge denied it

Yeah, I just did a search and saw that. I thought it was pretty petty of the judge and opposing counsel. Then I saw this part: “Today, at 3:59 pm, the start of the holiday weekend, Mr. Trump’s counsel emailed a member of the Court’s staff a request for a one-week postponement of the trial, long scheduled to being on January 16, 2024,” Kaplan wrote in his order. “The reason given was that Mr. Trump proposes to spend January 17 and 18 traveling to and attending the funeral, which the family has scheduled for January 18, 2024 in Florida.”

The judge’s order said that the trial “shall begin at 9:30 a.m. on January 16, 2024 as scheduled.”

Kaplan ordered both parties to file “their respective letters/emails concerning this request” to the public docket no later than Saturday. As of Saturday morning, the former president’s request did not appear on the docket.

Carroll’s response, however, was unequivocal: the trial must start as scheduled.

“As we informed Mr. Trump’s counsel earlier today, while we are very sorry for the Trumps’ loss, we oppose a complete adjournment of trial at this time,” said the letter, signed Friday by Carroll attorney Roberta Kaplan, who said that any delay would be “severely prejudicial, particularly as Mr. Trump is near certain to assert scheduling conflicts” as his 2024 presidential campaign ramps up.

Attorney Kaplan said that she had offered a compromise: jury selection would on Tuesday, put Donald Trump’s testimony — “only if Mr. Trump in fact plans to testify,” she noted — could be delayed until the following Monday, after the funeral.

The former president’s lawyers said no — a response that Carroll’s lawyer said throws doubt on the entire postponement request.

“Mr. Trump’s rejection of our accommodation arguably puts into doubt the stated reason for his much broader adjournment request, as does the fact that after his mother-in-law’s passing he announced a campaign event in New Hampshire for January 16 — one of the trial days that Mr. Trump now demands be adjourned,” her letter says.

Trump screwed himself on this one. But this trial is nonsense - this is the one where the judge has already ruled against Trump before it ever got started.

they may have arrived in different cars,maybe Donnie had a flight to catch,maybe it`s Donnies double

And now the leaked audio from Melania, after she refused to let Donnie in the SUV after the funeral of her mother...

What was funny about that? Did I miss the humor?

It's actually on old Slovenian funeral rite. The daughter and son-in-law of any mother who was recently buried, must leave the funeral in separate horse drawn carts. This tradition is known as the "Locitev Progreba", which started when the Count of Gorizia refused to climb on the cart of his grieving wife, due to her constant sobbing and nose blowing. Soon after, baskets of turnips were added to the wife's cart, and the husband's cart carried potatoes, all to symbolize that good things could come from anything buried in the ground. Later in the 19th century, the tradition of having a small band of musicians playing drone zithers and tin flutes following the two departing carts came to be.

Now THAT is pure message board gold!

THIS is why we mine these threads!

Her dad was in the other seat. It’s a time when the two of them needed each other (Melania and her father). Trump only walked her to the vehicle knowing he wasn’t riding in it.

This isn’t the thing the left is making it out to be.

Are we going back to the completely made up story on how tDonald has Melania enslaved and she needs help?
