Melania Thinks Trump Looks Stupid On Stage

During a campaign event in Iowa over the weekend, Donald Trump admitted to the crowd that his own wife thinks he looks stupid on stage. Specifically, Trump said that Melania complains that he doesn't look "presidential" when he speaks, and this may be the first time that we've ever had to agree with Melania. Trump's demeanor and his language are anything but presidential, and they are more suited to a high school locker room than they are for a presidential stage. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Apparently the American public are not the only people out there who think that Donald Trump always goes on stage and looks like a complete and total moron. Because according to Donald Trump himself, his wife Melania, does not like the way he looks when he gets up there on stage to do a rally. In fact, according to Donald Trump at a rally this past weekend in Iowa, he said that Melania hates it because he doesn't look quote presidential. He, he mentioned two specific items. The one of course when he pretends to do the weightlifting and comes up with those little video clips that terrify and gross out everybody who watches them. And then the other is when he dances, he says, Melania doesn't like when he gets up on stage and dances, and we all know the Trump dance, right? That I hope to never in my life ever have to do that again.

But for anybody who may not know the Trump dance, it's that, and I already just did it again. Um, but Trump, even though his wife hates it, he, he says that, he told her, let me say this, Trump's response to her, he said, was that it's much easier to look presidential than it is to do the shtick he does when he's on stage. So she's like, Donald, you do not look presidential when you are up there. And he's like, Hey, listen, what I'm doing is much tougher than being presidential, right? Anybody can be presidential. It takes a lot of work to go up there and, you know, come up with the zingers and one liners and, and those crazy dance moves. Man, that took me hours to perfect.

The truth is, Donald Trump does not look presidential because it's a shocker. He is not presidential. You know, I'm, I'm old enough and I've been doing this long enough to remember the George W. Bush, years, George W. Bush, and the media would get made fun of mocked and honestly even attacked for his demeanor up on stage. Whether it was doing a press conference, doing a speech, you know, he'd lean against the podium and have his little smirk in here to burn murder, like the media was all over that. Trump does those things today on a constant basis, and it's barely even a yawn anymore. But George W. Bush was attacked as not presidential, not smart, immature, grotesque. And sure all of those labels have been applied to Trump. But Bush, it never, it never stopped. Like those labels, those things were talked about all the time with Trump. I feel like the media's just come to accept that that's who he is. Let's not talk about it anymore. But we need to, because that image that he portrays on stage, the one that Melania hates, that's what the rest of the world sees too. I get questions from people from all over the world talking about like, how, how can your country be so stupid to support this man? Like, look at what he does. Look at how he acts. Look at how he treats world leaders. The rest of the world

Is laughing at us because of Donald Trump, because of his behavior. It's not his policies. I mean, look, they hate his policies too, but that is a mature discussion amongst mature individuals. But Trump doesn't allow us to have that mature conversation 'cause he's too busy acting like a child up on stage. And that's what the rest of the world sees. And if you don't think that America's image abroad is a big deal, then you clearly haven't been paying attention to foreign policy for the last 23 years.
