I did not watch live coverage of last night's last night of the RNC. Why give a ratings-obsessed asshole a view? I watched a couple of post-mortems, and the best description of Trump's delivery of a seventy minute speech was the doughty Aaron Rupar's quip: 'somnambulant'. The whole thing was 'Must Miss TV'.
The highlight of the evening was the First Lady's dress, which was the perfect hue for greenscreening. The internet's smartest snarkers were quick to react, with this being my particular favorite reimaging, by Media Matters for America's Parker Molloy:

Part of me suspects that Melania wore this dress on purpose in order to sabotage her husband's event... after all, she probably thought he'd have been dead a long time ago, but having him lose in November and end up in federal prison would accomplish the same thing... ridding her of a disgusting ogre. At any rate, somebody involved in the production must have known that greenlighting a greenscreen dress would pose problems, yet nobody did anything about it... and the Trumps have been involved in the television industry for a couple of decades already.
The other great Melania moment was her outré reaction to her stepdaughter:
Sometimes simple mistakes get by without detection... I still think Melania is awful, but the very notion of her engaging in a sub rosa resistance campaign is amusing, I just hope her horrible husband doesn't catch on if it's true.is she rebooting pic.twitter.com/YlFhxM7tyb

The Mystery of Melania
There is no mystery.
She’s a gun moll.
It:s that simple.
I want to make some suitably snarky comment, but I'm too sad over the death of Chadwick Boseman.
Why do the good die young?

Perhaps a 'Red Sparrow'?

He was way too young. At least he was a good role model for the youth.
The Candycorn Skidmark is so wrapped up in himself, that he's happy when ANY woman will consent to be within six feet of him. I am thinking that RNC speech by Melania combined with holding his toad-hand on the walk down the WH Portico afterwards likely cost Trump a few millions extra in the re-negotiated prenuptial agreement.
