Melania Has 'No Interest' in Being First Lady Again and Helping Trump With His 'Political Ambitions'

According to an exclusive report from CNN, Melania Trump is letting people know she has “no interest” in seeing her husband Donald make another run for the presidency and would not participate in the campaign if he did.

Speaking with host Kaitlan Collins on Sunday morning, CNN’s Kate Bennett said the former first lady does not want a return engagement in the White House.

“Not unlike 2016, Melania Trump has no intention really of joining the campaign or being a prolific presence,” Bennett reported. “I’ve spoken to people who said that she’s not really even interested in being in the White House again, going through being first lady again.”

“We know she’s an extremely private person and that being in the public eye wasn’t necessarily something she wanted to do in the first place,” she continued. “She’s retreated now back to Mar-a-Lago, being a mom, et cetera, and she really has no interest in helping her husband with his perceived, as we all know, his political ambitions.”

... it won't be too different. She doesn't really participate in his campaign appearances, anyway. She went to few... and she has obviously told him "Nyet!" to rallies. As it gets closer to primary season, Melania may reconsider and do a few - with some $$$$$ prompting, of course!

She’s fanatic about looks, she’s shown him what creams to put on his face since he was little. I don’t think there’s a healthy relationship there.

Just my 2 cents

There was a video on CNN:

&t=11s

I think he was about 4 there. So maybe it's lessened. But probably not given that he's mostly around her.

I think she does not want him to run again because she thinks she will not be able to divorce him if he runs again. Maybe this is a marriage that will last, but I will not be surprised if this marriage ends in divorce.

Don't forget, Melania is European - having been born and raised in Slovenia. She's more likely to do her own thing and not divorce him. Once her son is out of college, Melania can move back to Europe if she wants. She'll be done with the whole Chump family. I think she already is done with them, but she's keeping it to herself for now.

She is property, owned, paid for, zero agency.

She also is a racist motherfucking POS and literally an illegal alien. She lied on her visa paperwork and should be stripped of citizenship and deported, along with her grifter fam.

Let her go back and be a Covent Garden nun (a prozzie) in Slovenia.

Bone lazy. She's the laziest first lady in history.

She lied about her education because she was too lazy to complete it. She plagiarized speeches. She complained about having to decorate for Christmas.

She's looking forward to continuing the rest of her life of laying on her lazy ass just like she was doing for her 4 years as first lady.

This is evidence that America...and possibly the entire fucking world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.

Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teeter, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything!

My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.

I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE SECOND of my serious thoughts.

These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Bakersfield, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.

Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.

I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously

This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.
