It is pretty obvious that they are VERY uncomfortable around each other.

In the past, she's made comment such as:

"Donald acts like a little boy"

"He just does what he wants"


She obviously knows her place: a model from an impoverished nation who has made it big with one of the world's wealthiest (if only self-proclaimed) men. No doubt there was an iron-clad pre-nup and she'll wind up with a decent income but nowhere near what she's gotten used to.

Just sayin'.

familes that ever walked on Earth. Every aspect, every nuance, every lack of sexual boundaries, every awkward/stunted relationship - it's too much. Leaving aside the coup, the big bidness sleaze, the campaign etc etc, just this horror show of a "family", all by itself, is truly, genuinely, disturbing. "oh well"

How could she not react negatively to the "pussy grab" tape and all his other sexual predations?

On the other hand, she knows how to act and she's still along for the ride.

If he resigns, is impeached, or loses the re-election I expect she'll follow through on the divorce ... if the papers do exist....

doesn't mean they can't still divorce.

If Melania wants out, she should leave his sorry ass. Of course, he probably got her to sign a pre-nup that leaves her with absolutely nothing, not even the clothes on her back. If she were smart she'd have been quietly selling off jewelry and such and putting the money in an account he can't touch.

She could also write a tell-all book, and go on the speaking circuit. Her biggest problem, in all honestly, will be that she's used to a life style that is incredibly expensive to maintain, and will have trouble learning to scale back. But it can be done.

May 2017

A friend who lived in NY at the time said there were rumors circulating several years ago when they were allegedly having problems in their marriage due to him cheating on her a bit after their son was born, that if she leaves she loses Barron, and as of now he's still a young child 10/11, and even though I'm no fan of Melania's who sold her birthing soul to the devil for a lavish lifestyle, I do feel that she loves their son due to the interaction (Although limited) that I've seen between mother and son.

WHO knows how he feels about his son, especially if the son is autistic? The devil is a narcissist. A sociopath. Beelzebub has nothing on an a moral tRumputin.

He has ALL of the power over her. What will sink him is karma, age, his mind continuing to deteriorate---bad overall health. But knowing him, he has a lawyer and a legal paper hidden away just in case he passes away before or during a time when Melania tries to divorce him in which she loses total custody of the son before he turns 18. Like he wouldn't be rotten enough to have her deported on some trumped up charge? Look at how he cut off medical help to his grandnephew who was sick. We still don't know if he ever paid for medical help for the child to this day because it's sealed.

I'm certain he has legal crap in place that totally screws over Melania. And from what little I know about such things, if she signed anything, it's going to be iron clad. Maybe she's just hoping she'll out live the SOB.

To know that their marriage has long since been over.

Their body-language, and the way he pretty much ignores her and the way she walks behind him tells the story.

I've no pity for Melania

But this infamous moment between them at that Inauguration ....

HER face says it ALL ...tRumputin is a rotten, narcissistic, DEVIL.

...if she wants... his supporters won't care. She will probably make more money if she stays, now. She's able to renegotiate.

Think of all the pics of Obama with his daughters.

On Howard Stern, Trump said - he told Melania that she could have a baby but she should not expect him to take the kid places or do anything with him.

To "let" her have a baby only on condition that she lose any pregnancy weight immediately. He seems totally uninterested in the poor kid.
What a total asswipe.

Don't you get the impression that Dumpty thinks he has only three kids? All three formed into plastic models of his disgusting, greedy, immoral, soulless self.

The jury's still out on the younger two. The longer he ignores him, the luckier they are.
