So, how long before Melania files for divorce?

My guess is that she secretly had the prelim papers drawn up, just waiting for the right moment after he loses.

Methinks she gets clean away with Barron soon and goes to NYC.

Does she have an, ahem, male friend with whom she can commiserate for her husband's loss?

He hasn’t been served yet.

was installed by Putin. I wonder if they continued their relationship. Siemers is a good-looking guy, but obviously he has no taste.

I can’t wait for the day when I don’t have to her her name anymore. I really don’t care what she does with her life as long as she disappears from the public view. The same goes for anyone with the same last name, except for Mary.

But my guess is that she has already retained an attorney and they are planning things out. She and her attorney will first inform Donald that Melania wants a divorce and that she wants to resolve the property issues outside of court. This will take a couple of months, even if they end up not negotiating the property issues successfully.
45 does not care about his son so he wouldn't even notice that Melania took Barron and he hasn't seen Barron in months. If custody becomes an issue, it is only to drive a hard bargain on the property settlement.

in accordance with the agreement. It's a shame, it was going to be finalized when he lost the Republican nomination. Imagine. four long torturous years. (fiction)

Trump's been using his presidency to hold off his creditors, but come January he's not going to be able to transfer big bucks from the treasury to his pockets, and I doubt anyone will want to pick up his loans or re-finance them. So he'll be left with a boatload of debt and nothing but his government pension to cover it. Given what I've seen and read of Mel, she's very high maintenance - I suspect she's stowed away a nice little nest egg for herself before Trump decided to run, and she's just waiting until he's out of the spotlight to leave him. Not that she seems to spend much time with him anyway.

Than as a divorcée.

She’s not staying with the jerk for love, so it’s all about the payment. She is used to getting paid for services rendered and will want the biggest payout possible.
