She can’t be happy with her present situation.
Trump’s old enough to be her father.

Trumpy is millions of dollars in debt. She’ll be on the hook for all that debt when Anusmouth kicks the bucket.

Better to file and flee.

Turning tricks on street corners in Slovenia doesn’t sound like a pleasant way to live, but it beats dodging Russian mob enforcers for the rest of her life.

I’m sure she’s happy enough, she won’t have to live with him, and will never have to hold his hand in public again!

People have been stripped of their citizenship over weaker claims, and he knows how she got hers. He can just instruct state to deport her.

Then, she has few good legal options in us court to fight him.

She has to wait until he can no longer hurt her.

A renuptial, if you will that she would get a nice settlement if she stuck around while he was president. I'm sure that she was as shocked as anyone else when everyone learned just how much debt he's in. She's probably worried that she won't get the payoff.

Remember the $20m+ that went to one of her friends for the inauguration preparations? Unless there's been developments that I'm not aware of, could be a bit problematic for Melanie.
