Forgive me for being catty for a moment, I just can't resist. Melania

[Raven]

is a bomb waiting to go off. The Trump marriage will not last 6 months. She's already had the papers drawn up and she's going to get out with his money before he gets indicted. I suspect that the bloom was off the rose after about 6 months of being First Lady and she's been a prisoner in the White House ever since. She'll walk and take Barron, her wardrobe and a bucket of cash with her. He'll be dating 18 year olds a week later.

[lastlib]

1. Dating is gonna be hard from prison, but.....

I guess it can be done.

[Joedog]

10. Conjugal visits

Holding hands in the visiting area.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. She's 50 now....

All that plastic in her body and face is gonna need replacing soon, it only has a shelf life of 10 years or so.

Wonder who would dare to take her on......

[Midnightwalk]

2. She never promised him a rose garden? nt

[keithbvadu2]

22. OOF!

[safeinOhio]

3. Ann Landers nailed it years ago.

“If you marry for money,
You’ll earn every Penney”.

[Walleye]

23. Thanks, I couldn't remember where that quote came from

[handmade34]

4. mostly, I couldn't care less about any trump

especially Melania... but... I think she is every bit as vile as her husband and is doing just fine in all the crap

[CatMor]

12. Me too...i think she enjoyed being famous and living in the WH.

[2naSalit]

14. Well her first action as fLOTUS* was...

t sue someone about her losing $3million is revenue from her new title.

[magicarpet]

17. The bloom done fallen off the turd,...

.... and the dung beetle ate it.

No bloom,... no turd,.. no dung,.... everything just smells like shit.

Team trDump was here......

[MLAA]

33. Absolutely

[Doreen]

5. Has anyone noticed donny does not talk about pardoning Melanoma?

[JohnQFunk]

6. Actually, in this case, the proper metaphorical term is...

… "the bloom was off the turd…"

[kskiska]

7. She's already moved to secure Barron's future

(before agreeing to move to the W.H.), putting him on a par with the first three, although there may not be anything left for them, either. Tiffany's on her own, I presume. She'd better take that bar exam.

[AngryOldDem]

15. Tiffany's always been on her own.

The only spawn Trump has ever given half a damn about is Ivanka (and probably not for totally wholesome reasons, either).

He’s continuing the fucked-up legacy of Fred Sr. — classifying his kids in a hierarchy of worthiness and treating them accordingly.

It will be interesting to see how Barron turns out. I’m not totally convinced that Melania has any emotional attachment to him, either. He’s invisible, and I don’t think it’s out of deep parental concern for his well-being. Melania is probably just as big a narcissist as Don. I hope Grandma and Grandpa Knauss can somehow fill the void.

I’m reading Obama’s autobiography and the way he writes about Sasha and Malia, and the pictures the book has of him with them, prove that there can be such a thing as a poor little rich kid — Exhibit A, Barron Trump.

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. I've read a bunch of books on Trumpy, and of those that speak of Melania and Barron....

say she is utterly devoted to him, for whatever that's worth.

One author mentioned that she has done as much as possible to protect him from any mental harm his father might do.

Regardless of how she is viewed, she is apparently a good mother to him and absolutely looks after his best interests.

[kskiska]

31. Right. Also, Melania, her parents, and Barron

speak pretty much exclusively in Slovenian when they're together. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Barron's first language.

[llmart]

8. I don't think she's been a prisoner in the WH.

Most reports of her say she and Barron are either living in NY or with her parents.

[alwaysinasnit]

9. Well, maybe not a bucket of cash. I'm thinking that if NY gets tRump for tax fraud, and they

filed jointly, Melania signed under penalty of perjury. So maybe she will be required to fork over maybe 1/2 of the assessments for the years she was married to that slob. I don't think that scenario is too far-fetched.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. I Hope She Realizes...

...that there's not as much money as she thinks there is.
Actually, I don't hope that.
I hope she gets a terrible shock.

[Brother Buzz]

13. My Magic 8 Ball says...

she gets Trump Tower, and he gets saddled with the mortgage.

[judesedit]

16. Lol. Greedy, brain-dead 18 year olds. Barf

[RazzleCat]

18. I never thought she loved him but...

She choose him, she stayed with him. I do not think she is stupid. I do think she will stay for a while at least, not due to love, but for money. Right now Trump is making big bucks with his give me money to save my election, that is money she will not have access to in a divorce. Don't forget she is also in on all potential tax fraud, you sign, you take responsibility. Her best bet is to hang in for the long haul. If he gets indicted and receives time or penalties then she runs. She divorces she won't get much, stay married and work to get some assets in her own name and wait for him to die. Remember he is older and not in great health.

[FakeNoose]

19. It's even worse - she never wanted to be First Lady

She never wanted any of this. He promised her when he threw his hat in the ring that he'll never win. It shocked the shit out of everybody when he did win. She's wanted out since the very beginning. If she is smart - and that's debatable - then she has limited Barron's contact with the awful older siblings.

The getaway money is already in her bank account. Once this is over she's gone, along with her parents and her son. A legal document that says she's divorced won't even be necessary because it's all written up in pre-nup contracts.

[Hekate]

25. Remember the election-night photo? Every one of that mob looked slack-jawed with shock

Well, so did the rest of the country, but for a different reason.

[Tanuki]

20. Multiple sources say she's been asking around about any benefits such as

staff and material resources she'll be entitled to as a former FLOTUS. Bad news for Mel: she gets zip, zilch, nada. If he dies first, which is probable given the age difference, she only gets a $20k a year pension.

[keithbvadu2]

24. She can go back to her disrupted career of paid escort.

She can go back to her disrupted career of paid escort.

'Former FLOTUS' would add to the fee.

[Bobstandard]

26. If you don't have anything nice to say about someone...

...come sit next to me.

[smirkymonkey]

27. Who on earth would want to be with an incontinent, diaper wearing, rage-filled, miserable, obese

hideous old man who talks about himself incessantly and is probably broke anyway? There is no amount of money that would be worth putting up with that. I am sure she can't wait to get away with him and most attractive 18 year olds can do much better than him. He is over. Washed up. A complete loser and I don't think he will ever bounce back from this. He has no place to go but down.

[Grammy23]

28. And don't forget she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married tRump.

They had already been together for years so she just had dollar signs in her eyes. Barron was her insurance policy. Not that tRump gives any weight to that detail. Consider Tiffany who seems to have gotten a really rotten deal. But Melania has probably been manipulating that situation from the moment she got pregnant. Played it a little smarter than Marla Maples did.

But to feel sorry for her? I don’t think so. She knew very well what he was like and who he is. And she still married him. So there will be no tears shed for poor, poor Melania.

[smirkymonkey]

30. No, she took a gamble and made a bad bet.

She is going to pay for it. I only hope the rest of them pay for what they have done to this country and the crimes they have committed all along.

[kskiska]

32. When asked, she's quoted as saying

"I know who I married."

Also, when asked if she married him for his money, she said, "Would he have married me if I weren't beautiful?

That was their deal, apparently.

[lettucebe]

34. It'd be smart to get out now; while he still has a little money

I think he may end up broke, unless some oligarch saves him somehow -- no legitimate business will lend him $ anymore, he's going to owe millions in back taxes (or be indicted and go to prison for tax evasion), he owes half a billion $ -- he won't have $ much longer. If she gets out now at least she'll get something. Waiting will be costly. Just my opinion.
