I hate to be "that guy"

but not really.

Melania's hospitalization is bugging me.

Based on my life experience, only very serious conditions require a hospital stay of a week, especially these days.

I don't believe the kidney story.

I'm right there with you. Plus I heard a report that no one noticed her leaving the WH.

why is there no report of her leaving?

I'm thinking of the following possibilities:

1) He is cracking under the pressure of the investigation and he spontaneously beat the shit out of her.

2) She attempted suicide

3) An acute onset of something very serious

4) Extreme plastic surgery touch up or re-do.

Whatever it may be, I don't think we are being told the truth.

I think she is a desperate woman.

I don't admire her, but I do feel a bit sorry for her. Nobody deserves a life with Donald Trump. I think she is trapped because of her son.

Of course, he's just a self-centered asshole, so it's not that surprising, regardless of what is really happening. I feel bad for her, as well.

I strongly suspect that the relationship fell apart along time ago. Melania is just waiting for a hostage negotiator to rescue her. I can't help but believe she is extending her hospital stay in order to avoid him as much as possible.

The lies that come out of this administration's "official" stories ..... you never know whether to believe them or not. It's never been this heinous before.

But we shouldn't be surprised that a national political figure's medical condition might be downplayed until resolved.

I think she's isolated and miserable. Who do you trust that won't run to tRump or the press? That has got to be a very small circle.

While I'm not a huge fan of hers, I do have a certain amount of sympathy. Even the best first ladies (Michelle Obama) found the role to be very trying and she's as well adjusted as they come.

The dysfunction that is tRump and his minions (children included) has got to send any sane person over the edge. She thought she was getting a normal wealthy family and instead she gets a mobster familial gang of criminals.
