Where is Melania?

[HipChick]

Why can KellyCon and Ivanka move to DC with multiple kids, yet its a problem for Melania?

I don't buy the story about Ivanka moving to DC and playing Betty Crocker for the next 4 yrs

[salin]

1. Maybe she has holed up with Baron on his floor in the penthouse?

Or maybe she is prepping to pull a Katie Holmes. Burner phone and all?

[Tanuki]

2. She wasn't even there for the presser, right there at Trump Tower. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. Several reports that she is self conscious of her accent

dunno if that is true.
Maybe someone has clued Hair Twitler to the fact she would not be popular as a first lady
maybe he does not want to share spotlight.

[HipChick]

6. I call BS...

I have an accent...

[former9thward]

59. Are you in the public eye?

There are posters in this very thread making fun of it.

[safeinOhio]

27. I like how she says

moose and squirrel.

[sarah FAILIN]

37. CHEEL--DRIN

Cracks me up

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

68. Oooohh!

[JDC]

108. Excellent

[Historic NY]

38. So stand in front of the tv and follow along...

I'm sure the accent will vanish....hell The Governator had an accent.

[ConnorMarc]

40. I Buy That

Her accent is very strong, and I don't get the impression she's that smart.

Not that she's a dummy, but she's definitely not a Michelle Obama who can hold her own with the best intellectually.

P.S. - I have an accent myself.

[pangaia]

56. I don't have any accent.. at all... none...

even though I am from North Jersey...

absolutely none..

[okasha]

72. That's what I thought until I heard myself on tape.

[pangaia]

77. LOL!!!!

[Warpy]

76. Well, we all have accents

Mine is upper midwest/New England broadcasting with a hint of Irish lilt, something that allows me fit right into New Mexico. The accent here is astonishingly similar.

I think they knew the whole Russian thing was blowing up and that her Eastern European accent would be misunderstood, especially by Trump Chumps, and prove to be a liability (you know, she recruited him, his being an atrociously bad businessman had nothing to do with Russia grabbing him by the short hairs).

Keeping little Baron in the same school will be the excuse. She'll make an appearance in DC just often enough to keep gossip down but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she serves him papers as soon as he's out of the government.

[dixiegrrrrl]

92. I have read a lot about Trump, and he his wives under a firm pre-nup.

So there is that to consider.....

[Warpy]

109. She's put in over 10 years and has a kid

so I'm guessing the hush money will be appropriately generous. The hold is that it will stop if she opens her mouth about him to the press.

[hamsterjill]

44. I would guess it is more likely that TRUMP (himself) is self conscious of her accent.

I think she is an embarrassment for him in his mind.

She's not really polished in front of the cameras, and it's obviously stressful for her to have to give a speech, etc. In addition, remember his comment about a woman having a job being "dangerous"? I'm sure he wants Melania doting on ONLY Donald.

[pangaia]

57. It's not the accent. It is something serious about those two.

[mcar]

83. Who asked her to speak?

Why wasn't she part of the entourage today? Has she been seen since Election night?

[WhiteTara]

4. she's busy removing 90% of the material

from her inaugural gown...must be short and low cut.

[Solly Mack]

5. Buying new mattresses?

Maybe something covered in plastic.

It is odd that she isn't by his side considering Pee-Gate. Usually the spouse is clued to the side during a scandal.

[HipChick]

8. Yep...unless she knows something...

[Solly Mack]

11. I don't think Trump cares where Melania is as long as Ivanka is around.

His daughter is his idealized woman.

[GentryDixon]

51. Sadly, you nailed it.

[LenaBaby61]

63. I don't think Trump cares where Melania is as long as Ivanka is around.

His daughter/wife ...

[JenniferJuniper]

12. Okay, so far you win the day.

Although the day is young...

[Solly Mack]

13. We need the laughs, so I hope more are coming.

[Thirties Child]

31. What is pee-gate?

I'm apparently way out of the loop.

[Solly Mack]

32. Trump's golden shower story. Google it.

[NYC Liberal]

33. Well...

That would require Trump acknowledging that it's a scandal, which he'll never do. Even if he were to admit that it's true, he would have no shame and brag about it.

[Solly Mack]

34. Hmm

[brush]

81. I think she's tired of the sex scandals and the donald

I mean the man is heard bragging about grabbing p_ssy and just kissing women because he can't help it, several women came forward that he groped them, there's the allegation of raping a 13-year-old, now the golden shower thing.

She's not moving to DC and who can blame her.

[WinkyDink]

7. I em beingk fitted for many cowns for Bick Night, peasant. Dun't vorry about me.

[2naSalit]

41. Many

gowns or crowns?

[WinkyDink]

82. I heff no "r"! Tenk you.

[Lint Head]

9. Melania is spooked. PTSD. Pissing Trump Situation Dammage.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I'm not concerned about Melania. I don't think being FLOTUS is really her gig.

I could easily believe that her participation in the campaign, such as it was, was performed under duress. I don't imagine being married to DT is much of a cakewalk.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Someone here quoted Dr. Phil about being married to/for money:

"You have to work hard for it, every single day"

[maveric]

14. She always looks frightened and confused.

It could be Battered Wife Syndrome? I truly feel bad for her.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. He was violent with the first 2 wives, plus Melania is getting "old" now in Trump terms

Meanwhile, his favorite "piece of ass," as he called her on Howard Stern's show, Ivanka is just as young and luscious as ever.

President-Elect Donald Trump once asked, “Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?” . . .

Trump was allegedly referred to his daughter, Ivanka, who was 13 years old at the time.

The draft circulated around on Monday, before a final version was released Tuesday.
http://www.bet.com/news/national/2016/11/22/donald-trump-s-awkward-history-of-being-attracted-to-ivanka.html

So that would be right around the time this photo was taken

[bdamomma]

48. He is fucking sick

he would rather do his daughter than his wife. He is mentally not well.

Melania gets dusted off the shelf when he wants her. Plus he is into blondes his own master race.

I hate this man.

[Maru Kitteh]

65. Normal men don't have pictures in bed with their teenaged daughters, being kissed

that's for damn sure.

I wonder how many times he's asked Melania to go blond and dress like Ivanka.

And call him daddy.

[pangaia]

61. I would not be surprised if you have it right..

[Maru Kitteh]

69. Unfortunately - I mean, who's moving into the west wing?

Not Melania.

Gives me the eebie-jeebies.

[Stellar]

89. Did you see the video at that link where Donald said his favorite thing

to do with Ivanka, if she wasn't his daughter, was to have sex with her. (the daily show link)

[Maru Kitteh]

91. Yep. "What are the favorite things you two have in common?" Donald "I was going to say SEX"

Ivanka had said real estate and golf.

Trump? Sex.

[pangaia]

60. I have thought that more than once. There is something seriously wrong in that family.

Last edited Wed Jan 11, 2017, 08:25 PM - Edit history (1)

it would surprise me if he doesn't beat, physically or at the least (if it is really LEAST) emotionally abuse them all.

And why is Barron never, ever seen? Something strange is going on...

[NastyRiffraff]

64. I feel sorry for Barron

He's a ten year old kid who is never seen smiling. He always looks miserable.

[pangaia]

78. yes.. That isn't healthy human behavior.

But then his father never laughs.

[Ilsa]

95. He's reflecting his mom's despair, I guess. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

74. Baron is busy.

[global1]

15. Maybe She Was Up In Trump Tower Peeing On His Bed.....nt

[berksdem]

16. hmmm....

maybe at home getting ready for the Wednesday night golden shower perhaps?

[NightWatcher]

17. She's no more than a breeder for him.

[Still In Wisconsin]

53. She was just another conquest/trophy and a hot model to lay.

Cheeto had already moved on a month into their marriage from what I have read.

[demmiblue]

18. It is a marriage of convenience and I don't think she really likes him all that much.

I think she probably didn't realize just what she was getting herself into (yes, gold digger... blah, blah, blah).

She most certainly signed a pre-nup that leaves her with next to nothing, and she probably worries about her son if she did decide to leave.

Trump has likely been very emotionally abusive. He has probably gas-lighted her and destroyed her self-esteem to the point where she feels stuck in a hopeless situation.

Of course this is all conjecture, but it fits his modus operandi, imo.

[Arkansas Granny]

23. Maybe she betting on outliving him.

[Wounded Bear]

24. The kids will get the bulk of the swag...

I suppose she'll live comfortably, but she won't get control of the whole evil empire.

I smell an attempt to form a dynasty here. Notice Uday (or is it Quday?) is now 35....he's old enough to take over after the Don. They're trying to set up Trumpistan.

[dhol82]

101. Pretty sure NY state law says the bride gets 1/3 of the estate no matter what.

Any lawyers out there to verify or correct?

[Wounded Bear]

103. Neither a lawyer nor a NYer, for sure...

but what if he claims Florida as state of residence?

Rich fuckers know how to get around such things.

[dhol82]

104. Hmmm - did not think of that.

We have to see his tax returns to see where he files from.
Melanie might be totally screwed.

[dhol82]

105. If he is registered in Florida there will be major lawsuits filed

https://www.clarkskatoff.com/news-resources/blog/surviving-spouse-rights-in-florida/


Although - didn't he vote in New York? That would pretty much mean that's where he files his taxes.

[crazycatlady]

88. Not surprising considering their age difference

He's 70? and I'm guessing she's in her early 40s.

[kskiska]

43. I've read that his first wife, Ivana,

was very subservient to him, constantly telling him how great he was. Guess that wasn't enough for him.

[Doreen]

20. I do not think he wants her

to be seen. You have to remember she is past the age limit for his likes and since he won the dictatorship he can not divorce her. Remember we talked about this before the election that we figured if he lost he would have divorced her and found a younger model?

[kskiska]

22. I was wondering when that question would be asked - by the media, especially

It's unheard of in modern times for the wife of a president to not accompany her husband to D.C. and live in the White House. Melania obviously is not keen on living that sort of cloistered life, surrounded by security et al. There's also the question of whether he son has autism, as has been speculated. Donald has definitely chosen being president over whatever her wishes are. The marriage is likely over, or will be in the future. She's in her mid-40s now and she'd have to think about where she'd be maybe eight years from now. Will she sacrifice those years to remain married to Donald?

[longship]

25. I don't think she can avoid the security.

FLOTUS gets SS protection. If she chooses to live at Drumpf Tower, that will just cost the country more. But I don't think that she has an option of saying no.

[marlakay]

58. They can't take a chance someone

Kidnaps her or kid and blackmails country. Although with Trump that isn't even necessary.

[marybourg]

30. Nearly everything about Traitor Trump

was previously unheard of.

[Hamlette]

36. it could be she is protecting herself and her son

If she is already self-conscious about her accent, being made fun of after her speech (for the plagiarism) might have left a scar. And if there is something wrong with Baron, and she has any maternal instinct at all, she might want to protect him. Except why didn't she protect him on election night when Baron was sent out to the stage alone? Or maybe it was because that's when the rumor about his special needs really caught fire and she doesn't want him exposed to more. I don't know if he is autistic but it does appear as though there is something wrong with him.

She might have told Donald to just keep her out of the limelight. And Baron too.

[Ilsa]

96. When I saw him briefly, I wondered about a nervous system disorder, or

A mild form of autism. The way he was moving his hands reminded me of autistic stimming.

[malaise]

26. She's pissed off

[bdamomma]

94. I heard she was content and

happy with her life then he turned into putin's puppet.

[mickmten]

28. Shopping

I think she's shopping for outdoor carpeting for the White House bedrooms. Just hose 'em down.

[crazycatlady]

29. She's aware that she's being replaced with a young hot Russian girl

[milestogo]

35. Training young Russian escorts.

[LenaBaby61]

71. Training young Russian escorts.

[NCTraveler]

39. I'm guessing she has started blackmailing him.

As a good mother, she could also be doing her best to protect her son from his father.

[2naSalit]

42. She's probably a spy..

ow that her job is done, by helping get him elected, she will be replaced by some younger spy... but maybe that exchange has been delayed with all this fake news floating about showing what a tool the whole family is...

[wildeyed]

45. She needs to stay out of the line of fire.

She lives with a nightmare of a bully who is melting down under the stress. Can you imagine how abusive and demanding he is to live with as a partner? I don't think she really signed on to be first lady. And the kid has special needs even if the press has been respectful and kept it out of the spotlight. She might be protecting him too. I kinda feel sorry for her.

[BigDemVoter]

47. I don't.

She married him for cold, hard cash. She's not EVER to be pitied. She chose it, and she wouldn't leave it if you asked. She wants the money and is willing to sleep with tRump to get it. Enough said.

[wildeyed]

49. Yeah, but the kid....

I dunno. Hating Melania is kind of like kicking a puppy to me. She doesn't have enough soul or skill to make it seem worthwhile. But that's me.... After the way the press and GOP ripped the Clinton's marriage apart, and then don't say Boo to the fact that the man's wife won't live with him. Hypocrisy....

It'll be interesting to see if she 'stands by her man' if more about the prostitutes comes out.

[BigDemVoter]

50. I don't hate her at all.

I don't. I find her disgusting, but that's not the same as hate.

[LenaBaby61]

75. I kinda feel sorry for her.

NOT even do I feel a LITTLE bit sorry for her, especially after she went all "racist birther" on Pres. Obama back in 2011 on the View. Pres. Obama had younger daughters at the time TOO. Like HER Slovakian birth certificate was BETTER than the African-American president's birth certificate.

SORRY, no pity for the escorting HUSSY.

[BigDemVoter]

46. She's busy with her $25 million lawsuit against the blogger for

"Reckless lies. . . ."

I have no sympathy for tRump's prostitute, and I'm not slut shaming her either, as I have lots of GOOD friends who are sluts. . .

I'm just sick, sick, sick to fucking death of the hypocrisy of their party.

I truly don't care what or whom Melania "does' in bed. I really don't. I don't give a fat rat's ass what she did in the past.

I DO care about the double fucking standards that are applied--especially by the mainstream media. I've written this before, but just IMAGINE if Barrack and Michelle Obama had done what tRump has unabashedly done. . . . Yeah. It's disgusting, isn't it?

[guillaumeb]

52. Was Melania ever in Russia prior to her marriage to Trump?

Did she ever work in Russia prior to her marriage to Trump?

Connections?

[Ilsa]

97. They say she speaks russian.

I bet she's been there.

[guillaumeb]

100. Was she ever seen in a hotel there with Trump?

Perhaps Melania is his handler.

[skylucy]

54. She can't stand the man she is married to. I think if he had lost, she would have already

gotten herself a good divorce lawyer and filing the papers.

[KatyaR]

55. I think it's the perfect excuse to live away from Donald.

He's got to be a horribly abusive husband.

[marlakay]

66. Actually she is safer now

He doesn't dare hurt her with SS around.

[Freethinker65]

62. Out looking for dress. You would not believe how far she had to go to find one

[AngryAmish]

67. Showering.

[gulliver]

70. She upped her deal probably. More money and doesn't have to be with him...

...in exchange for a few appearances a year.

[BlueJac]

73. The first hooker is out doing what she does best.

A (typical rightwing comment). Dressed in a evening dress!

[Tatiana]

79. Getting her ducks in a row and preparing to leave him.

I don't think she wants this marriage or to be part of that family.

She seems to care very much for her son, but there does not appear to be any love shared with her husband. He probably abuses her.

Whether in a year or five, I think she is going to divorce him. Hope she calls Gloria Allred.

[Hekate]

99. I'm with you, Tatiana

[tinrobot]

80. When you give a narcissist a lot of power, they become intolerable.

I think she is staying as far away from him as possible. Maybe for her own protection, certainly for her own sanity.

[Calista241]

84. I wouldn't ever hold someone trying to keep their kids in a single school during a school year

against them.

With the state of bullying and self-confidence in children, I tend to agree that changing schools mid year COULD be damaging to a student.

I've experienced this in my own family when my brother moved to another state for a job, and his wife and kids stayed behind so their kids could finish up the school year at their existing school before moving.

There are plenty of other, more legitimate, reasons to hate Donald and Melania Trump.

[VOX]

85. Lying in a coffin on a layer of her native soil...

Waiting for nightfall.

[spanone]

86. maybe she's had enough....couldn't blame her

[KamaAina]

87. Vegas?

Quickie divorce?

[HipChick]

90. Getting more Botox...

[Generic Other]

93. Is that why Trump said all the gowns in DC were sold out?

So Cinderella couldn't come to the ball?

[Hekate]

98. The queen and the little prince are locked in the golden tower. Or perhaps she has the key ....

...and has barred the door herself. Either way she's staring at that parchment note pinned to the table with a knife: "Don't open that secret door! Your loving husband, Bluebeard"

I don't think this woman and her son have a happy life.

[Arazi]

102. Don't care. I wish obviously non-political spouses got some privacy

[maryellen99]

106. Heads up if you go on Daily Kos and mention in any way that Barron may be autistic

You are accused of bullying a child. I got accused of picking on him just by mentioning it.

[sarcasmo]

107. Giving Baron those caviar baths.
