Little Girl From Slovenia

Go golfing with your husband.  Listen to Elvis Presley and Elton John.  Whatever.  A happy Donald would be a less harmful Donald I’m guessing.  In reading your book, I learned that for you in your younger life, Donald Trump was a great catch and you had a happy and positive relationship with him.  I left off with you and your mother working together on your wedding plans details.  I listened (using Speechify) to a bit of your book earlier and this is where I now find my reflections.  And yes, I of course respect your freedom of choice in your life.  It is something that every human being deserves. It was just a reflection that popped into my head.  

You were born about three weeks after my younger brother.  If a person wants to be technical, 1970 is actually the last year of the decade of the 60s.  There was no year zero.  The first decade of the common era consisted of the years 1through 10 and so it continued (11-20, 21-30, 31-40 and etc.) through the decades, centuries and millennia.  This is what I call thought overflow.  If ever I speak of being a child of the 70s to my brother, he always has to correct me and say, “and the 60s”.  Well, ha ha to my brother because he is technically also part of the 60s.  And Melania too. 😛😂 Okay I do get why it makes sense for the number 70 to be part of the seventies.  It literally has the same first number as 71-79. Duh.  I guess I would say that I am for not making things more confusing or counterintuitive than they need to be.  It was just that moving on to the second millennium was a bit hard to swallow when the first millennium hadn’t yet had its 1000th year.  1000 years is in fact the measure of a millennium.  There should have been a year 0 so as to make to the counting of decades, centuries and millennia more logical and intuitive.  Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose. 😂 I guess I have to get over the missing year. 😂

Update:  I just read a speech that Melania once gave at a US citizenship naturalization ceremony.  I am struck by the irony of her marriage to Donald Trump, a man whose aim it has been to deport as many non-citizens in our country as possible, not excluding individuals who were here legally.  The irony of their union is profound.  How on earth do the experiences of his own wife not in any way shape his understanding and feelings about non citizens and their presence in our country.  At the very least he should care about how they are treated and not designate them as criminals and an undesirable element that our country needs to be cleansed of.  I can’t wrap my head around Melania Trump’s experience of being the wife of Donald Trump.  At what point did she have a clue that he had a darker side beyond the charming, warm and caring man that she knew and initially shared a relationship with?

I used to wonder how any non-Trump supporters could manage being in a marriage with a Trump supporter.  Well, how about being married to the man himself?? 🫢 I have no idea to what extent Melania supports or takes issue with who her husband is.
