Melania Trump Allegedly ‘Took Advantage’ of Donald Trump’s Court Case to Renegotiate This Part of Their Marriage

.................



...........................

Multiple sources and insiders have told RadarOnline that Melania has threatened to renegotiate her and Donald’s prenup after a court jury ordered Donald to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation and battery — and if she gets a bigger allowance, she plays the doting wife again on his campaign.

........................................

Now, many thought Melania was eerily quiet during Donald’s case, but it seems she was playing behind the scenes. According to these insiders, around the same time as the trial, Melania talked about boosting her monthly allowance and their son Barron Trump’s inheritance. And in return, she’d help Donald with his flailing 2024 Presidential campaign run.

“This really was a take-it-or-leave-it situation,” one source said to RadarOnline. “Let’s just say Melania was in no mood to negotiate with Donald — and he knew full well there was no chance he was returning to the Oval Office without her.”

Another insider added, “She used the situation well to her advantage back then (referring to the time she didn’t join Donald at the White House for nearly six months) — and saw no reason why she shouldn’t do it again.”............................................

I must have missed something. Does she actually have fans? The maggots will support trump whether he's single or with her. I don't think they care about Melania, to be honest.

If they did the negotiations on a street corner they’d risk arrest but in a boardroom with lawyers it’s OK. Mel’s confirmed my opinion of her.

I mean, really, she's as much of a stupid, moneygrubbing bigot as he is.

Why expect everything between them not to be transactional?

They deserve each other.

She timed her announcement at the same time that the jury started deliberations.

I wonder if she will renegotiate again after Carroll's next trial?

5 years for Melania to renegotiate?

I don’t think so. Just a matter of emphasis per day week month.

but a high paying job for her. Had a son to get even more and got herself and parents as citizens.

The very second he goes under the divorce papers already filled out will be served. You can bet Trump knows this.
