The man simply does not possess that part of the brain, that most of us have, that tells us when something is appropriate and when it is not appropriate. A 5 year old, for example, would have acted the way he did there, because at 5 your brain has not developed totally yet. A 70 year old brain SHOULD have developed by now, unfortunately something is missing inside Donald Trumps' head that would have said "Stand still and look serious here, Donald !"

I bet he has Melania locked up in such a tight prenup that she walks away with nothing but her shoes, if she leaves. Trump always has had a team of very aggressive Attorneys on his payroll, and you know they gave poor Melania an ironclad document to sign before Trump would say I do.

But, I think Melania has a bigger issue.........the boy. It is pretty apparent that she loves Barron very much, and knows how ugly and hurtful a battle with Trump would be. A lot of people stay together for the sake of the kids, and I think she hangs into this obviously loveless marriage for that reason. Anyone can see that Ozzie and Harriet these two are not.

Trump probably thought he was showing his celebratory patriotic pride by singing along and bopping to the national anthem (it had a good beat and he could dance to it, after all). He probably felt like he was really getting into it and was feeling it so strongly that it just burst out of him.

Trouble was, he was clueless once again - Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery was not the time or place for such antics. If this had been the Fourth of July, maybe then. If he had been just singing or mouthing the lyrics, Trump would have raised eyebrows but would have gotten a pass. But his singing along combined with beating time with his pledge-of-allegiance hand, and nodding his head in rhythm, made it a very bizarre performance.

Trump looked like a kid with untreated ADD who just had to have all the attention on himself rather than on the ceremony. Scene-stealing. Trump just tried to upstage "The Star-Spangled Banner"... because he just had to have all the attention himself.

Both of Trump's ex-wives are said to have had prenups, and I am sure Trump would not have married Melania without one firmly in place.

Perhaps Trump simply wanted to show that he was "energetic, young & alive" after his long trip abroad. Of course, his mind to reality translation often fails.

I remember that day, and that little boy, standing there, saluting his dead father. What a horrible , sad time that was. No one could forget that image.

"Donald Trump says that his prenuptial agreement with Melania Knauss has made his marriage stronger. (Though it is worth noting that he’s been down this road twice before; both Ivana and Marla Maples contested their agreements—and lost, Trump points out.) “It’s a hard, painful, ugly tool,” says Trump. “Believe me, there’s nothing fun about it. But there comes a time when you have to say, ‘Darling, I think you’re magnificent, and I care for you deeply, but if things don’t work out, this is what you’re going to get.’ ”

Reportedly, his wives also sign non-disclosure agreements as well.

IMO, prenups are all the involvement government should have in "marriage" anyway.

Truth be told, the cost of her shoes would probably feed a family of eight for well over a year...
