What makes a person beautiful?

I’m sorry-- how do know this? It just seems rude to speculate like this. It may seem obvious, but we really don’t know. Can we just show a little respect?

I get what you’re saying, but as to the rudeness, bear in mind that Donald Trump is someone who has deliberately made his (many) relationships with women front and center for years now. He loves the attention and he loves being in the tabloids. Presumably Melania knew that and knew what she was getting into.

All that to say this isn’t just the random couple down the block. This a very public figure who has sought the limelight at any turn. In some sense they’ve consented to and welcomed the speculation.

Uh-huh. Every public person consents to, and welcomes Internet gossip (about their personal lives, and marriage). Yeah - keep telling yourself that.

That’s not at all what I said. I said Donald Trump has specifically invited gossip, not “every public person.”…the man has given more interviews bragging about his romantic conquests than I can count. He’s made the womanizing playboy shtick a huge part of his public persona.

I’m not saying everyone who does anything in the public eye has invited scrutiny of their love life.

Are you now pretending you didn’t say, what you just said? Head-scratcher.

I’m honestly confused about where you’re getting tripped up. I’m saying Trump specifically has consented to and welcomed speculation, yes, based on his conduct over the past 20 years. He’s happily spilled juicy details of his sex life all over the media. Somehow, you’re interpreting that as me saying that every public figure’s love life is fair game, which is not what I said. I don’t get why you’re confused, honestly.

 

[Loud-living-dogma]

Okay, as I read more carefully (and on a larger screen), you did not say that every public figure 's love life is fair game. I read that overly-broadly. I am very sorry!
But has Melania invited speculation? Does it seem that gossip about a public figure and his wife should be a little more restrained if they hold the office of the president? Or if they have children? Maybe, maybe not?
TBH - - this whole thing was directed @constantlearner, who wrote personal details very authoritatively.

 

[BoomBoomMancini]

No worries, I’ve read too fast myself sometimes. As for Melania, maybe? Like I said, she had to expect some of it. You don’t marry Donald Trump expecting to live a quiet life out of the spotlight

I wasn’t speculating. Sorry for the confusion. The details aren’t really secret. I own a PR firm (in LA, not NY). I work with a lot of celebrities. My mom did the same kind of work. While I would never say we’re bosom buddies with these people, we are acquainted with their personal lives because they ask us how to present certain things since we are PR experts.

I don’t necessarily think every public figure’s private life SHOULD be open to scrutiny, but they have to know people WILL scrutinize it. While Melania is reserved and likes privacy, I agree with the poster who said she had to know she’d be in the spotlight as Mrs. Donald Trump. Donald, I think, invites public scrutiny; I don’t think Melania does, but she had to know it would be that way. She is, after all, a very intelligent woman.

I think Melania would like a quiet life where people didn’t intrude in her private life, but I also think she knew, as Donald Trump’s wife, that privacy would be hard to attain. Yet think about it: we know details about Donald because he makes them public, but we don’t know as much about Melania because she’s so quiet and private.

 

[Loud-living-dogma]

Knowing things is different than gossiping rudely, I think.
Part of the reason why we don’t always seem to have lots of choices for public office, IMO. Because who wants to be publicly trashed all the time?

Melania makes no secret of the facts surrounding her marriage, and Trump seems to actually like talking about his affairs. Better to state the truth than for people to call her a “golddigger,” which she really isn’t. People in the public eye will always be scrutinized, photographed, etc.

I don’t know. I think most of those with political aspirations have a thick enough skin to endure public scrutiny. It didn’t seem to bother the Obamas much. And, since they are public servants, I think the public deserves to know about their lives to a certain extent.

The humbleness of a person makes him beautiful.
A warrior who loves the motherland more than the motherland loves him, is beautiful.
I mean, when a man loves his homeland more than money or PR.
There is a beautiful woman who has two children and lives in poverty, but she gives birth to a third child, despite the difficulties of life.
Beautiful is also the woman who sacrificed family life for the service of God, for the service of others.
Beautiful is the doctor who saves people in hot spots where there is war.
The world is full of the beauty of human deeds, and we often see them around us.
