Fixed your cheap shot.

Whether this will amount to any additional votes is questionable.

was she not gainfully employed?

Is this not a product of her toil, as it were?

is that not to be respected?

I am very open to opinion if not personally attacked.

Noone there are nude photos and nude art and there is a definite difference.

Didn't Trump make some comment about "a nice piece of ***" hardly complimentary.

As an aside.... I remember the big flap over some clothes that Hilary wore that were deemed too expensive and the criticism she took for that.

Maybe you guys didn't notice, but the handbag Mrs. Trump carried at the convention costs more than a some of working folks make in a year.

(It was a designer Birkin Bag. They cost anywhere from $11,000 to $ 150,000).

Knowing Trump as we do, he probably had it borrowed for the occasion.

Nah, Melania stole it from Michelle. She's been known to do that.

Thanks for the reply

Maybe I am not understanding what the purpose of that photo was when taken. Why was it taken?

I assumed it was part of employment in some fashion but even if it was a private photo taken so Trump could be happy when alone, I still fail to see why it's an indication of superficiality.

To me it looks to be an art photo but what do I know.

I was brought up to belive that work was admirable and to be respected no matter factory worker or college professor.

A superficial person is one who does not think about serious subjects, correct?

How can that photo indicate that she is not intellectually curious?

All it tells me is that she has what today is considered appealing physical attributes.

agree, I just spoke to that in my reply to John.

I certainly don't see that as "raunchy."

That said, if you or someone does, I would not argue.

I would however stand fierce to any implication that nudity or beauty is at odds with cerebral thought or action.

even then I'd lose no sleep over it and I'd certainly respect an opposing view.

As I said, it was part of a photo spread in GQ.

Worthy of Peter Paul Rubens.

That's absurd on its face. There are many areas of employment which are totally without merit or social value.

Are you deliberately not understanding me? I never said that Melania was a superficial person. I would have no way of knowing that. What I said was the photo was both trivial and superficial as are all of her professional efforts when compared to Mrs. Kerry's.
