Omarosa claims Trump is holding wife Melania hostage with a threat to DEPORT the First Lady...

[Soph0571]

.....if she ever carries out the 'ultimate humiliation' and divorces him

Omarosa Manigault-Newman has made the astonishing claim that President Donald Trump might deport First Lady Melania if she tried to leave him while he holds office.

It is the latest Trump-bashing claim to emerge from the new memoir, Unhinged, by Manigault-Newman, who was fired from the White House in December for alleged 'integrity violations'.

'If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave him while he's in office, he would find a way to punish her,' Manigault-Newman wrote in the book, according to the Mercury News.

Manigault-Newman implied that Trump played some nefarious role in Melania's immigration to the US from Slovenia in 1996 - even though the couple are believed to have first met two years later, in 1998.

But...but...surely if she followed all the rules when she immigrated he would have no grounds om which to try and sling her out.... *cough*

[democratisphere]

1. At this point, nothing drumpf does would surprise me.

[Kath2]

6. Nothing this pig does would shock me.

That said, she does seem too intelligent to be with him.

[brush]

77. This explain's Melania's jacket. It was a cry for help and no one detected it.

[JDC]

2. It would not surprise me if the entire immigrant "policy"

Boiled down to being nothing more than an example to his wife that she better not humiliate him.

[Scarsdale]

4. Nobody could

humiliate this ass any more than he does himself. Going out in public with that orange face, fluffy hairdo, overcoat to mask his fat body. Yeah, he is so presidential and classy. His "kids" are every bit as intelligent as he is, too, meaning not too swift. Maybe he would expose Mrs. tRump as a former escort, as though THAT is a secret.

[Nevilledog]

40. He would just spin the escort background.

He'd say how with all the adversity she still managed to pull herself up by her fuck-me pumps.....errr, I mean bootstraps.

[Wellstone ruled]

45. Yupper,seems to fit the real story.

Was not the Trump Modeling Agency just a high priced Escort Service. This is most likely how Trump got the dirt on his Political Opponents.

[spike91nz]

3. She could

Always cut a deal with Mueller for witness protectionthat includes retention of citizenship. I suspect she is calculating. For Christ sake she had a child with that sociopath so don’t really think she is trying to get away, just yet, but rather looking for exit strategy. Defecting to Russia seems most likely to me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Doubt she likes Russia at all. Grew up under Soviet shadow. Didn't go to Moscow w Dong 2013. . . nt

[MaryMagdaline]

36. Her father was a communist party member locally connected

Her family kissed the rings of whoever was in power. They haven’t changed a bit.

Great to know our free country opens its arms to former communists who opposed the West and spied on all their neighbors.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. Yugoslavia was independent though communist. Thus I wrote "shadow".

Slovenia, Malignia's country of birth, borders on Italy.

Yugoslavia was not part of the Soviet orbit of buffer states. It was not part of the Warsaw Pact.

Communist does not equal Soviet nor does it equal Russian.

Slovenia (and Croatia) led the anti-Communist breakup of Yugoslavia.

first the delegations of the League Communists of Slovenia led by Milan Kučan, and after League of Communists of Croatia, led by Ivica Račan, walked out during the extraordinary 14th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (January 1990), effectively dissolving the all-Yugoslav party. This in turn, along with external pressure, caused the adoption of multi-party systems in all republics. When the individual republics organized their multi-party elections in 1990, the ex-communists mostly failed to win re-election. In Croatia and Slovenia, nationalist parties won their respective elections.

On 8 April 1990 the first multiparty elections in Slovenia (and Yugoslavia) since the 2nd World War were held. Demos coalition won the elections and formed a government which started to implement electoral reform programs.

In the Slovenian independence referendum, 1990, held on 23 December 1990, a vast majority of residents voted for independence. 88.5% of all electors (94.8% of those participating) voted for independence – which was declared on 25 June 1991.[59] Both Slovenia and Croatia declared their independence on 25 June 1991.

[Bonheur]

51. Good info - thanks

[Bernardo de La Paz]

52. Welcome to DU. . . . nt

[Bonheur]

56. Thanks

[MaryMagdaline]

47. Good points but under no circumstance does communist mean pro-West

Communist means, under all circumstances, anti-religious, anti-Christian. Fine with me. Comparable to communists in Italy and Greece. NOT comparable to the RW Christian capitalists they kiss up to now. Melania going to church on Easter. Putin claiming that Christianity is the bedrock of Russia. No Rosa Luxemburg here (or Lech Walesa for conservatives). Just greedy opportunists. Wonder what church her lifelong communist father and mother will pop into next Easter.

[Goodheart]

5. I hope the story is true

I don't have an ounce of sympathy or pity for her.

[lunatica]

68. She's sure no Michelle Obama!

And she has the warm personality of an ice cube. Plus she’s just plain boring.

[Quemado]

8. This claim does not hold water

Melania Trump is a naturalized U.S. citizen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_Trump

A naturalized U.S. citizen can be deported, but only if his or her citizenship is revoked. There are several conditions that, if discovered by the government, can lead to revocation of citizenship. https://immigration.findlaw.com/citizenship/can-your-u-s-citizenship-be-revoked-.html

If Donald Trump sought to deport Melania, he would most likely place himself in legal jeopardy because he was involved in her becoming a permanent resident alien and a citizen.

[rzemanfl]

10. Legal jeopardy means nothing to Drumpf. n/t

[machoneman]

13. You may be right but...

it's highly likely she'd be long deported and still in Slovenia long after any charges, it any, would be brought against Trump, let alone made to stick with any prison sentence. Keep in mind Trump never looks down the road to see if anything he does has long or even mid-term consequences.

[mythology]

66. Except why would she be deported?

She's a naturalized citizen. There wouldn't be a legal way to deport her in the first place. Trump isn't actually all powerful. It's different than the situation with undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers in that she already has all the legal paperwork.

[honest.abe]

15. The threat is enough.

Melania wouldn't know for sure what the lunatic is capable of doing. I am sure she fears him and wouldnt want to take the chance.

[Fla Dem]

17. Can't deport her. She is a Putin plant and he wouldn't allow it.

I'm convinced she too has ties to Putin, whether directly or through handlers. She's there to make sure he toes the line and sticks to Putin's wish list as well as communicating back to the RUssians.

[watoos]

18. Oh it holds water

If she never had work visas but used a tourist visa her citizenship could be voided because she lied to immigration.

[Quemado]

20. She could have her citizenship revoked based on the 1996 entry

but she petitioned to become a permanent resident alien in 2000, two years after she met Donald Trump based on an "Einstein visa". https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/questions-linger-about-how-melania-trump-a-slovenian-model-scored-the-einstein-visa/2018/02/28/d307ddb2-1b35-11e8-ae5a-16e60e4605f3_story.html?utm_term=.023aadbc367d

IMO, Donald Trump was more than likely involved with Melania's petition.

I would think that if federal authorities started investigating Melania on the entry visa, they would most likely expand the investigation into Donald Trump's involvement with her green card and citizenship.

[kcr]

22. This is Trump though. It is entirely possible he said he would do it because he's a bully

I could easily hear him threaten a naturalized citizen with revoking their citizenship to get them to do what he wants, even if it's his wife. He's not rational with his threats and claims. So even though on its face it sounds like an outrageous claim, given who the subject is and how he behaves, it suddenly becomes plausible.

[Ilsa]

70. Ding ding ding!

Your explanation is rational, and I think he would do it.

[PatSeg]

38. I am more inclined to believe

that it was Melania's parents that were vulnerable. They just became citizens. Trump could have been promising Melania that her parents could become naturalized if she didn't leave him. Meanwhile, all the talk of taking away the citizenship of some immigrants could be intended as a threat toward Melania and her parents.

[wishstar]

58. I agree- she would never leave him or openly disobey until her parents and sister are citizens

He has been Melania's guarantee of citizenship and a life of luxury for her and her family as long as she abided by his wishes.

[PatSeg]

63. It is the Trump way

It is how he gets what he wants out of people - bully, threaten, intimidate, and if necessary, buy people off as long as there is an NDA involved. And I don't think he does it just for leverage, I think he actually enjoys torturing people and watching them sweat, like a perverse sadistic game. He seems addicted to cruelty.

[Jim Lane]

41. What holds water is that Trump might THINK he could do it

There's plenty of other evidence that he still doesn't fully grasp the difference between being President and being CEO of a business that's not publicly held. A lot of CEOs would have the experience of being at least partially constrained by shareholders, a Board of Directors, and the SEC's oversight of publicly traded companies, but Trump doesn't even have that.

To his L'etat, c'est moi mindset, he could revoke a naturalization as easily as he revokes a security clearance or nullifies a criminal conviction with a pardon.

[Orsino]

48. I cannot believe that a has-been reality star would just make up sensationalized stories.

At the precise moment she's trying to sell a book? It doesn't make any sense.

[Bonheur]

54. I know, right?

I don't believe a word out of Omarosa's mouth, unless she can back it up with one of her recordings...

[Butterflylady]

9. Almost what the French prime minister's

wife told a French newspaper when they returned from their trip here. Mrs. Macron said melanoma felt like a prisoner.

[2naSalit]

11. I think it would be worth it

to divorce him, not like she'd be broke if she did.

[TexasBushwhacker]

61. We don't know the terms of her pre-nup

and we know Trump is a greedy motherfucker. Sure, she would get child support, but Barron is already 12. I wouldn't be surprised if she agreed to next to nothing. She met Trump when she was 28, rapidly approaching her expiration date as a model. Sure, she was on a few magazine covers , but she never achieved super model status so her long term career prospects were nil. So marrying a rich old guy and having a kid was her only hope. Considering his physical condition, diet and lack of exercise, she probably thought he would be dead by now and she would be a young widow with a big inheritance.

[2naSalit]

67. Good point.

I wouldn't count on any kind of generosity from any of the other family members except, maybe, her kid.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. I'm positive Melania would have divorced Trump after the election but became trapped when he 'won.'

[djacq]

14. So called FLOTUS might have Prenup with the Orange Clown

[Calista241]

50. She almost certainly has a prenuptial agreement.

Trump has been through 2 divorces already, one of which was a war of the roses type divorce.

[zentrum]

16. Very doubtful.

This would be a step too far, even for him, image-wise.

More likely he's given her or would withhold, ten million dollars. Follow the money.

[luvtheGWN]

19. My thinking is that he's threatened her

with losing custody of her son.

[zentrum]

21. Interesting. Could be.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. It's possible, but what would he do with the kid?

Barron is like an ant on a picnic blanket to him. The only reason BigBoy would fight for him is revenge...not that that's out of the realm of possibility.

[smirkymonkey]

24. I would hope he would not take Barron away from her.

She is the only normal (relatively) parent he has. He has not shown one bit of love or affection for that child. The sooner he gets away from that monster the better.

[Totally Tunsie]

33. The poor boy didn't ask to be born a tRump,

but he'll suffer the slings and arrows of his father's legacy for his entire life. Melly should be like Marla - take her son for a quiet(er) life elsewhere and return to her private existence, giving Barron at least the chance for some normalcy.

[smirkymonkey]

59. The best he can hope for is to end up like Tiffany and not like his three older

siblings who have been under too much of their horrible father's influence.

[luvtheGWN]

32. He lives by revenge. We've seen that time and again.

That's actually why I'm thinking that this is the threat he's hanging over her --bastard that he is.

[Totally Tunsie]

35. True dat.

[treestar]

65. Yes that is more likely

If she wanted to leave him, he'd just buy her off.

[lame54]

25. They did meet in '98 - in '96...

Trump looked at her pic in a mag and said
"I'll have that one."

[redstatebluegirl]

26. I think he has threatened to take her child away.

For any mother that is the ultimate fear. You can see the fear in her face when she is with him.

[GoCubsGo]

39. That would not surprise me at all.

Regardless of the fact that he barely acknowledges the kid's existence. He's just that petty and vindictive. I think Omarossa is probably full of shit regarding the deportation thing, but that being said, if it turns out to be true, I won't be surprised. Nothing that asshole does surprises me anymore.

[Gothmog]

27. Who is surprised by this?

I am still waiting for her press conference to discuss her immigration status

[thbobby]

28. It makes me very sad that I laughed so much about this. /nt

[saidsimplesimon]

30. Omarosa and Melania are birds of a feather.

Let them both reap the whirlwind. "Beauty is as beauty does", that was a warning from the most genetically gifted women of my lifetime, some were even relatives.

[hughee99]

31. If Melania got deported, she could find herself another

Wealthy guy before her plane landed. Getting deported is no real threat to her, the only issue would be custody of her son.

[AlexSFCA]

34. trump has created a denaturalization taskforce

so it is entirely possibly to strip citizenship if there is evidence to false claims to INS prior to becoming citizen. If she loses citizenship, her parents will also lose it automatically because she was the one who petitioned them.

[D_Master81]

37. The question is...

are there any recordings in Omarosa's possession that would back this claim up? She seems to have recordings of the things she's claiming and comes out with them a few days after the claim. will be interesting if there's anything on this in her collection.

[bunny planet]

42. erm.....this was in the news a few weeks ago....

http://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/396923-trump-administration-now-has-naturalized-citizens-in-its-sights

[Johnny2X2X]

43. This is how he treats all of his wives

He lies and cheats non stop and then threatens them with all sorts of retribution. I have no doubt that he has threatened that she’ll never see her son again if she leaves him. He’s probably threatened her family, and it would be surprising if he’s threatened to have her deported and or killed.

This is the type of sociopath he is.

[rusty fender]

46. Could be that she is waiting

to leave him when Barron turns 18. And by then, he wouldn’t have the power to deport her.

[Ilsa]

71. That's years away, though, at least five, right? nt

[rusty fender]

75. I think it's more like 7,

But she’s already put in 11 years

[canetoad]

49. This might be the excerpt from 'Unhinged'

From the final chapter.

"It’s my opinion that Melania was forced to go to the border that day in June, essentially, to mop up her husband’s mess. She wore that jacket to hurt Trump, setting off a controversy that he would have to fix, prolonging the conversation about the administration’s insensitivity, ruining the trip itself, and trying to make sure that no one asked her to do something like that again. Not that Melania doesn’t have compassion for immigrant children; I’m sure she does. But she gladly, spitefully, wrecked her husband’s directives to make him look foolish.

It was often discussed among Trumpworld intimates that Donald had something to do with Melania’s obtaining a rare Einstein Visa, a.k.a. an EB-1, that gives immigrants with “extraordinary ability” or “sustained national and international acclaim” US citizenship. Many have questioned her qualifications for receiving this visa, and have speculated that Trump was able to use his networks and resources to secure it or expedite it. Since Donald is fully aware of however she acquired her permanent citizenship, he could, if there were anything fishy around it, expose the methods and somehow invalidate it. He is a vindictive man, and I would not put anything past him. If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave him while he’s in office, he would find a way to punish her. This is a man who has said he could pardon himself from the Mueller investigation. Why not pardon himself over an alleged visa payoff?

In my opinion, Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce him."

[blueseas]

53. Nothing surprises me about this anymore

We are dealing with a narcissist / sociopath.

[Garrett78]

55. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if that happened. Slovenia is calling you home, Melania.

[Iliyah]

57. Omarosa (I keep thinking of Star Gate)

also said that t-rump and Ivanka do have a VERY special relationship and it's far from a father daughter one.

[Buns_of_Fire]

78. "She roll-bump her opulent fanny so smoothly good it could melt butter."

(Imagine that line in the voice of James Earl Jones.)

It's one of the two quotes I remember vividly from Cheech Wizard (R.I.P. Vaughn Bode), and I think of it whenever I see a picture of Ivanka giving daddy a lap dance.

A family of very special relationships, indeed.

[Freethinker65]

60. Bullying to get what he wants. Though he knows he would not act on it he loves the art of the threat

[Recursion]

62. So I mean I think technically Melania qualifies for a T-visa at this point?

That's the visa given to victims of trafficking in persons. And as I read it by the statute she absolutely qualifies for one.

[treestar]

64. If she is now a US citizen as reported

He would have to find some fraud in the process - maybe that's why he said they were going to go through naturalizations and see if there were grounds for denaturalization. However, the entire procedure would be embarrassing for him, and so I doubt he would actually go through with it - he would have to make her believe he could do it quickly so that she would voluntarily leave.

[Hekate]

69. Omarosa is many things, but a reliable reporter is probably not one of them...

Remember who she was "apprenticed" to for 14 years. She knows how to play his game, none better, and apparently she has managed to get under his skin like no one else, which pleases me.

But I have a feeling it's all a reality tv show to this bunch, all about who gets voted off the island next, and on and on. It would be lovely if Omarosa could be the final episode that brings her boss down, but I feel like a lot of people are being suckered into watching.

As for Melania -- we may never know. It may be an ironclad prenup threatening to impoverish her and her son. It may be that her contract with Putin isn't up yet. They don't call her the Slovenian Sphinx for nothing. I doubt she ever confided in Omarosa.

[Ilsa]

72. I'm surprised she hasn't found a way to

Make him seriously ill, kill him, etc. It would be harder now, of course, but I'm surprised she hasn't found a way to put him in kidney or liver failure or something.

[mainer]

73. I hate to confess this, but my father said the same thing to my mother.

My mother was an immigrant, and whenever she and my father disagreed, he said he'd "get her deported." It's a cruel, nasty thing and it totally strikes me as true.

[lindysalsagal]

74. Canada would take her in. Gotta be some rich men in toronto who would want her

She'll clean up on the book deal.

[Raine]

76. Melania is a US citizen

and Omarosa is a liar and a grifter, I don't believe it. I don't doubt Cheeto holds something over her but most likely custody of Barron.

[Turbineguy]

79. She could write a book

about life with trump.

She could call it: "Well, I really fucked up bigtime with this guy!"
