I'm curious how much it cost Trump to 1) convince Melania to leave NY and 2) support him for reelection. I'm guessing it was a big payday. 100M? 200M?
I doubt she'd go back.

The Japanese are some of the biggest racists on the planet. They're just a lot more polite about it.

I can understand why they are racist or more specifically xenophobic.
At one time, the Kwangtung Army was considered the cream of the crop of the Japanese land forces - they were expected to conquer China and counter any Soviet threat from the north.
The fact that it was so degraded in military capability by August 1945 and was easily defeated by the Soviet Army seemingly speaks to the fact the Japanese military was largely spent by late summer 1945

I one case I know about, the guy brought that on himself. Can't recall the name right off but he was Hispanic and from Mexico. Served honorably and started the citizenship process after leaving the service. Committed a felony, did time, and was deported. He's trying to get back in and his citizenship, but that felony is almost always a disqualifier. In his case he screwed up while awaiting his citizenship and naturalization to be finalized.
I think it cost him a lot to renegotiate her prenup the first time, this next time, well, it’s going to hurt him a great deal. He loves his money, more than he loves her. He may not even require her to come to the White House. He really doesn’t need her. He’s the Golden Idol. MTG can act as 1st lady!

Gygin or something like that. In Japanese it's used as a demeaning slur for foreigners in general.

Agreed, but he loves the public adoration the most. He loves the limelight. If he needs her to keep it, he'll do it.
A gaijin doesn't belong here, where children from the Genji and Heike families are playing
Yes. If a white man wants to experience being a black man in America, he should go to Japan and to the smaller cities for a taste.

I get why they do it.
外人 and 外国 and 外車
Some feel the word has come to have a negative or pejorative connotation, while other observers maintain it is neutral. Gaikokujin (外国人, [ɡaikokɯꜜ(d)ʑiɴ]; "foreign-country person") is a more neutral and somewhat more formal term widely used in the Japanese government and in media. Gaijin does not specifically mean a foreigner that is also a white person; instead, the term hakujin (白人, "white person") can be considered as a type of foreigner. Kokujin (黒人, "black person") would be the black equivalent
I understand the terms. They like the foreignaers but they don't want them living there and mixing up their race.
He doesn't even need to go that far. Several white ppl have told me of their experiences being at the receiving end of racism while in Hawaii. Not so much in the very touristy parts, but outside of those you may find out how it feels to be a minority that's resented and disliked.
Another reason to find programs for young people to get away from their safe spaces and out into the real world.
I really don’t think he needs her. She wasn’t around much. The crowd likes her, but he’s their Dear Leader. He can find other eye candy to parade around. I think Jared and Ivanka are done, too, even Lara is trying to launch her ship separate from The Donald.
She stayed in the background except where it mattered. Divorced Presidents don't fair well in the WH.

Hello christiefan915,
And there was that really dumb thing: "If you're not with us, you're against us?"
I cringed when I heard that.
I knew at that moment how far we had come from: "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

With the Left, the operative phrase comes from Stalinist Russia. "What's ours is ours. What's yours is negotiable."

Hello T. A. Gardner,
I call B. S.
That's what some on the right say. It is not what the left says. If you want to know what the left says, you have to actually really listen to what the left says.
