Melania Trump Book Launch Timing Odd

-

Melania Trump and her husband decided to launch her book a few weeks before the November 5 election. Why on earth did they believe it will be a plus for Donald Trump? Very odd. "Stay tuned," said Melania Trump months ago, when asked if she would be active in Trump's campaigns. Very odd indeed.

The Trump family, just like any other family has goals. They plan vacation, where kids will go to school, political party conventions, what kind of tree they will get for Christmas, that sort of thing.

They also have long term plans like the upcoming 5 November presidential election, where Melania Trump’s husband, is the Republican Party’s presidential nominee. What happens if the wife is an author and wants to launch a book? Obviously, they will agree on the launch date.

Mr. and Mrs. Trump sat down and decided it will help Trump’s campaign to launch her book now. They live together-apart like most celebrity couples. No problem. That’s the power of money: separate residences. They are so independently married, Melania did not say anything when Donald Trump was shot on 13 July at a rally in Penn State. I didn’t expect her to, because she knows what her husband is capable of so, she wasn’t surprised about what transpired at the rally.

Now that she is doing media stops about her book, she is bringing up her concern about the shooting. Did husband and wife discuss possible media questions and how to handle them? How about what she claims are her views on a woman’s right to her own body? Is Donald Trump aware of such claims? 

Well! Husband and wife have a right to their life but why now? Did they really think this through, and concluded that Melania’s book will be a plus for her husband’s campaign? The art of the deal, is also the art of the Trump marriage deal, I guess.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
