This is the "just joking" effect.
The cowardly hide behind the excuse of "it's just a joke," when they truly do intentionally want the joke to be reality.
Difficult time with reality, the TDS crowd. Unless they turn an about face, it's a psychosis that they will never emerge from for the remainder of their sad lives.
Diehard Trumpettes either didn't read the article cited in the OP, didn't read either tweet upon which it was based, or are as thick as a brick. I've read enough from some to believe the last is not universally true (the jury is no longer in deliberations on the rest), so I'll assume they're posting from a predetermined position from which no actual evidence will cause them to be swayed.
Rolling Stone is not MSM, Frum's Tweet was obviously sarcasm directed at a totally different subject, but please stay in your bubble if it's more comforting.
Just shows you what it's like living in Trump World. Donald doesn't even think it's weird that he has to post on Twitter that his wife is still alive and well.
And Donald bemoaning the (fake) conspiracies floating around. Donald - the King of (fake) Conspiracies.
You just can't make this stuff up.
People need to leave her alone- period. And their son. Geez.

Well, yeah, has any President had the media out there ginning up a story that he's abusing his wife? Even Nixon, hated as he was, didn't have to deal with this kind of low brow behavior from his opponents.
Just another reason not to pay any mind to the MSM.

Give me a break. the current POTUS lowered the bar on discourse to these unprecedented levels. He can stew in the juice he helped create.
Nixon and Johnson were burned in effigy, absolutely reviled by their detractors.
Two tweets, one related to Presidential claims of immunity, the other from Rolling Freaking Stone, and Trumpette snowflakes toss up their hands in protest that the evil MSM is crossing the line, cued by a report from a major MSM outlet. And if this isn't ironic enough, they double down.

The football threads are basically dead every day, even though there is stuff going on, but the Trumpers just congregate here and spew their condescending gang mentality on any posters that disagrees with them. I see the important thing around here is not talking football, it appears people just want to spew their hate and have others justify it and agree with them. I think I'm done here. (I know, "bye Felicia," "good riddance,") whatever ya got. Stay classy.
Victim much?
There is a fair amount of "Never-Trumpers" on this board that gang up too.

Nope.
You're just describing what "your kind" is experiencing living in so-called "Trump World."
In reality, things haven't been better.
For those living in fantasy land, it's TDS 24/7. See above.

Complete and utter TDS.
It's as if Rip Van Rollerjag slept through the entire 8 years of the previous administration.

Anyone with a D next to their name is automatically forgiven for anything. Because that R means evil. Man the Democrats really have their base well-trained.

Man, you'll make up stuff just to avoid having to deal with the idiot you support. I don't blame you for being embarrassed and having to lie. It's like you want to emulate your Leader.

As if you don't automatically forgive Republicans! As if you don't automatically associate Democrats with evil. Hypocrite!

You're acting like theres a genetic fallacy at play here. There isn't.
Just because a few liberals spew factless speculation about Melania's status, doesn't mean that everything every liberal ever said was wrong.
Everything anyone says still has to be evaluated case by case, and we only have time to evaluate things that matter to our lives. That you would waste time evaluating the truth of this and encourage others to do likewise suggests that you think this is about more than just one mistake, that it is genetic. And it's not.

Weakness is genetic. And at the end of the day that's what liberals are. Weak. And they think everyone else is just as weak and incapable of doing things as they are.
Liberals want to give handouts to losers.
Conservatives want to give those losers the
ability to not be losers anymore.

Those are perhaps the worst definitions of liberal and conservative I've ever read.
Handing out fish, vs teaching how to fish. Not hard to understand. Being personally responsible vs demanding someone else be responsible for you.
In a nutshell, the modern left seek to control/dictate others' thoughts/behavior. The right is about freedom, with freedom from oppressive government being at the top of the list. It's the purpose of our Constitution - limiting the power of government over the individual.

It's true that media produced and let ride conspiracy theories regarding Melania's health and safety. These comments are aimed at those in denial of that truth.
If some would continue to pretend otherwise, they should self reflect.

lol ... we're good, they're bad. That it? How simplistic. Of course someone could turn right around and define the Right as fascism and the Left as personal freedom.
Patting yourself on the back and accusing anyone who disagrees makes you look childish and insecure.
And Trivial comes across as about eleven years old. He's going to hold his breath and turn blue unless you acknowledge how he knows The Truth.
Grow up.
