(3,543 posts)Question - given that Trump probably has a pre-nub, the only way that she would benefit would be if he has the assets to pay her off.
I dont know the law, but would question if the NY Courts find that he has been playing fast and loose with his real estate, could they put a hold on the Trump assets?
Plus, since Trump has indicated that he is only an employee at Mar-largo - wouldnt that be subject to forfeiture?
With multiple lawsuits against his for instigating a riot on January 6, 2020 - could that put a lien on his assets?
Any chance that if the RICO is applied that there is the potential that all of his assets would be tied up in Court for the immediate future.
And, if he is charged by the DOJ for ??????? What does that do?
Melanie would be smart to get her hands on as much money at she could - and book.
My opinion.
viva la
(3,284 posts)And she thinks it's going to be bleak and broke. She's been making him pay her personally since 2016, and she's so king it away for her and the youngest child. She knows what he did to his niece and nephew, taking their inheritance, and what he did to second wife. She's got to secure her own cache before he kicks it or goes to jail.

crimycarny
(1,351 posts)Hate to use the word star, but maybe she's realizing that Trump's popularity with his base is fading and she wants to cash in while she can.
Amishman
(5,554 posts)She doesn't care about any of it herself, realizes its value will never be higher, so tells a personal assistant to sell it off.
My guess is she is spending next to no time of her own on it and we're all reading too much into it.
Hamlette
(15,411 posts)she loves him. If there could be a more horrid person on earth than Trump it is Melania.
She is selling stuff because she can. I hope, and maybe they realize, her white hat won't be worth $250,000 in a couple of years if Trump gets indicted or more shit comes out about him. She's testing the waters to see if she can sell useless shit white Trump supporters are still crazy enough to buy it.
How this Melania is going to divorce Trump thing got started is because people believe she is human. For whatever reason, she is as damaged as he is. He's taken her on a fun ride and she'll only leave if he goes broke.

PCIntern
(25,519 posts)she knows about his personal health and Im willing to bet that there aint no $20 million life insurance policy with her as a beneficiary. I dont care that his parents lived long lives, he is clearly in the midst of some slow decompensation cardiovascularly . Its just a question of time: shes a young woman relatively speaking, and she knows shes going to be a widow sooner rather than later.
I dont give a damn what your genetics are, you cant live like that, eat like that, look like that, and have the difficulties he has and live into your 90s, it is just not going to happen. Ive spent a career dealing with geriatric individuals, and I know who the long livers are, and he aint it. That is not to say that pricks cant live to advanced old age, Lord knows Ive had to deal with many of them, but no one in my practice of 44 years who is that grotesque anatomically and habitually a binge eater of horrifying foodstuffs with documented organ issues (intestinal) which he has, makes it to advanced age. What often happens, is that everybody says theyre doing great, and you come in one Monday morning and hear that the individual is hospitalized, and then three days later you read the obituary notice in the paper. Thats how it happens. Often enough that I can generalize.
