Melania Trump to give two or three 'important speeches'

Quote
Donald Trump said in an interview aired Thursday that his wife, Melania, will give "two or three speeches" during the remainder of his presidential run, praising his press-averse spouse as "an amazing public speaker."
Trump delivered the news in a sit-down interview alongside Melania on ABC's "Good Morning America," their first joint appearance since a cascade of allegations of sexual assault against the Republican presidential nominee, which were also discussed.

Asked by host George Stephanopoulos if she wants "to get out there yourself and help (Trump) out in the final two weeks," Melania Trump said "we'll see" before Trump jumped in.

"She's actually going to make two or three speeches," Donald Trump said. "She's amazing when she speaks. She is an amazing public speaker. So she's agreed to do two or three speeches, and I think it's going to be big speeches, important speeches. I think it's going to be great."

Thanks, I was in the Army. During my first two years of active duty, I was one of the most dangerous weapons the Army has: a 2nd Lieutenant with a map!

In reality, my map reading skills weren't that bad, and reading a map in Germany was pretty easy, what with the plethora of small towns and landmarks. By the time I left, I had a voluminous knowledge of my battalion's area of operations, which included Hahn, Spangdahlem, and Bitburg air bases.

During my last battalion ARTEP, I put together a logistics plan that included alternate resupply points at various locations for all areas of supply...I was following my Battalion Cdr's order to be "independent and imaginative." While I was giving my briefing, he was cracking up while the evaluation Team Chief was getting ticked off. He came up to me afterwards and angrily asked, "where did you get all this BS?" I told him I drew upon my practical experience of living in the area for four years, and I knew many of the local merchants, and I'd be happy to escort him to see a few of them.

It was checkmate when I suggested a place in Traben-Trarbach, between Hahn and Spangdahlem, where I informed him that the owners honored me by asking me to sit at their stammtische. The Headquarters Battery Commander was a friend of mine from our early days at Hahn, and he confirmed it. The old man (Battalion Cdr) also confirmed it, stating there was no officer in the battalion that knew the area better than me. They were both married to German women, and I spoke the language well, too.

It took me longer than my friend, who fell in love with a German girl shortly after his arrival. I caught up when I was transferred to Spangdahlem (Battalion HQ), and had the free time to take two immersion courses. That was followed by a TDY assignment at a German anti-aircraft range. I learned to speak German in two dialects, Hunsrucker and Hoch Deutsch...damn, it was fun!

Apologies for the hijack.

A recent poll conducted found Melania Trump is far more popular than Trump, Clinton OR Obama. And with Michelle Obama getting involved this is no surprise.

You're too kind, I am completely aware that the vast majority of my "war stories" are interesting only to me.   :silly:

I'll say this, though. I had a number of unique experiences thanks to the battalion I was with in Germany. Unlike stateside units, where brigade size elements are housed within a few city blocks, we were 40 miles from Battalion HQ, and our motor pool was 10 miles off base.

During Air Force tac evals, my time was spent in the Wing Command Post as the Army Liasion Officer. There were two officers that had a Top Secret clearance, and the other was the Battery Cdr. I lived in the hole for all 4 days, because the BC had a battery to command.

Within a year of graduating from college, I went from being a self centered individual, to one that was responsible for over 40 men and eight missile systems. I didn't get real serious until after flunking my first evaluation, which was one of the best learning experiences of my life. After catching flak for a few weeks, I became a real PITA in the process, i.e. if my neck is really on the line, then let me do my job and stay out of my way. It came together, though there were a few bumps in the road, generally caused by superiors who never should have been allowed near soldiers. I did fine with superiors that expected independence and imagination from their officers.

I also had great soldiers and NCOs working with me to get the job done. In today's Army, I doubt I ever would have made 1st LT, let alone Captain.

Has Michelle ever been asked about Hillary's private server?

According to my sources...

One will start, "Four score and seven years ago..."

Another will start, "This election day will live in infamy"

And another, "Mr. Mexican President, Pay for this wall."

All the greats!  Cool.

I saw this part of the interview...it was crongeworthy. She was asked about being part of the campaign, and she answered about caring for their son...Donnie then answered for her that she would be doing speeches  to her obvious surprise.
