Melania, divorce him now, while he still has some money you can get, and he won't want a brutal fight and his tax returns coming out. Fuck the prenup. You have leverage now.

like his first two. Trump's Crime Family is about to come to a ending once his Taxes and real finances come to light. Remember a statement made by someone from the IRS,saying Trumps Taxes are audited every year because of his so called deductible claims of which are out of bounds.

I want to know why Flynn, after registering as a foreign agent after the fact disclosed that he gave $28K to NY FBI Agent McCaulley just a bit before McCaulley raided Houma Abedin's devices without a search warrant. That's probably a lot of scratch for an agent.
