I think you are overthinking it. I just see north America, with US flag shape stuck on relevent bits of it.
You probably spent to times more time thinking about it than Donnie dipshit spent designing it.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/04/politics ... index.htmlMelania Trump to speak at National Archives event swearing in new US citizens
Former first lady Melania Trump is set to speak at a National Archives ceremony next week to swear in new US citizens, according to a news release from the agency.
Melania Trump, who herself became a US citizen in 2006, will speak at the December 15 event on Bill of Rights Day along with US Archivist Colleen Shogan as 25 people from 25 countries are sworn in to become new American citizens.
The former first lady’s expected appearance will mark her latest public outing amid the presidential bid by her husband, former President Donald Trump, who holds a complicated relationship with the document archival agency.

Given her husband’s relationship with NARA, I find this amusing.

I get you, but Melania was the recipient of an “individuals with extraordinary ability” visa, so maybe that's good enough?pipistrelle wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:50 pmI’m kinda shocked, honestly.

For naked ambition. Or something.

This is the sort of thing former First Ladies are typically asked to do. And as a naturalized citizen herself, Mrs. Trump brings to the occasion a personal connection. So on the surface she’s a good choice.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:50 pmI’m kinda shocked, honestly.

What makes her a great choice is that this is, in effect, the Biden Administration asking Trump’s wife to participate in a ceremony sponsored in part by the very organization that has resulted in personal humiliation for him. Frankly, I’m surprised that she agreed to do it because it really is a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Perhaps she has to make a certain number of appearances as part of the latest prenup agreement?

About the pre-nup...whose idea was it to re-negotiate? Would that be at the suggestion of the side with more power?

The "more power" side would have been Melania cause the former guy wanted another run as candidate for the GQP.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:33 pm About the pre-nup...whose idea was it to re-negotiate? Would that be at the suggestion of the side with more power?

No idea at all. A couple of times there have been Twitter-type rumors of a renegotiation, always with Melania as the power player. But who knows.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:33 pm About the pre-nup...whose idea was it to re-negotiate? Would that be at the suggestion of the side with more power?

I wonder if Melanie remembers her own grace and dignity as a young woman and as the woman who complained about $#!*ing Christmas.

Watch this dilemma play out for Trump. You know he’ll want to use his mother-in-law’s death to his advantage. First guess would be that he’d claim that all of his court cases have to be postponed until after her funeral. But that would mean that he also can’t campaign or golf during that period, ergo, the dilemma. We’ll see.
