What Melania realized today

[spooky3]

At the rate this is going, Melania is going to have to marry E. Jean Caroll to get any of Donald's money.

1. I assume Melania will line up a new man

Pretty quick as soon as lard ass is in the ground.

[evolves]

2. I assume

she has had another man for years.

[Jarqui]

13. +1

She is probably assessing her prenup and whether the payout is in jeopardy

[SunSeeker]

23. No doubt. That's why she insists on separate bedrooms.

And then there's this little gem from her former assistant:

Additionally, Grisham and another staffer spent time "shopping" in the White House military office "for a good-looking aide" to accompany the first lady to the State of the Union, at Melania Trump's request. "Mrs. Trump called to let me know that she wanted one of our military aides to escort her throughout the Capitol because 'the floors were so slippery,'" writes Grisham, who felt the request was a ruse for Trump to be seen with a handsome, uniformed younger man -- a visual likely to rankle her husband. "I laughed to myself because I'd seen the woman navigate dirt roads in her heels."

53. I can totally see that happening.

[sarge43]

37. She's past her shelf life. She'll be 54 this April.

A boy toy, possibly. Marriage to Daddy Bigbucks, unlikely. They like 'em the younger the better.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

42. All the WORK that has been done on her will show by the time she is 65.

It will also depend on how well she takes care of herself and allows the aging process to take place.

[sarge43]

44. Yup. Ma Nature will have her way. n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

48. I will be 72 at the end of May.

Just gentle wrinkling by the eyes, but hardly any noticeable wrinkles on my face and neck.

[Deuxcents]

3. Yep..she and the siblings are big losers, too..if they were counting on any inheritance or other income

From tfg. I predict lots of court action when he’s gone

[SarahD]

4. If she is smart.

She will make her escape soon. The longer she stays, the worse it will get. Her home country is Slovenia, which is beautiful and unspoiled. I'm sure she could find a suitable boyfriend there, so it would be a soft landing. She will get no money from Trump, so there's some sacrifice involved, but incentive to stay with him is fading fast

[tanyev]

5. Melania renegotiated her prenup last year.

She may not be very likable, but she’s not stupid.

Page Six reports that, according to a source, Melania spent the last year renegotiating the terms of her prenuptial agreement with the ex-president, and that her new “postnup” is now in place. According to one source, the former FLOTUS wanted a new deal not because there’s a possibility she’ll have to move back into the White House, i.e., her least favorite place on earth, but because she’s worried about how much money will be left over for her and her son after Trump is done paying his various legal bills and damages. “This agreement was necessary because of the current legal battles…[Donald] has suffered,” a source told the outlet.

Did Melania actually say the words, “Give me more money or I’ll leave your ass”? No, a source told Page Six, but only because it was clearly implied. “It’s not that she threatened to leave him,” the source said. “It’s definitely the underlying idea.” According to another person familiar with the matter, the former first lady wanted the new deal to “provide her with more money,” including cash and property, “and also…there’s a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.”

7. If she didn't get it up front then she likely will

have to fight for anything.

[tanyev]

12. I took it to mean that she got more money put in trust for Barron up front.

[moniss]

14. Hopefully it was cash

rather than any other thing like a "promissory note" etc. or some "ownership" of some financial deal. We know how crooked this guy is and the idea that he would screw over his son if he could is right in line with his character.

[Lonestarblue]

28. There may not be much left to fight for.

I’m sure her prenup requires her to stay married until after the election, but there may not be much left by then. And if the Trump Org is barred from doing business in New York and loses a lot of its assets, Junior and Eric will take what they can before she has a chance of getting a penny. Not a nice family.

[moniss]

32. Yes indeed that bunch

make vultures seem tame.

[Nasruddin]

11. Maybe it's something else

Could it be a way of moving money out of range of legal settlements, by mutual agreement?

I've never believed these 2 were NOT on the same page.

[ancianita]

15. Thanks. Good to know.

I'd wager she's negotiating the terms of her staying with him.

Still, one can't help but think that in the background is the possibility of her being unsafe no matter where she goes, even with secret security protection, were she to leave him.

[Carlitos Brigante]

35. If only....... nt

[SergeStorms]

41. "After Trump is done paying his various legal bills"....

The RNC is paying his legal bills, if I'm not mistaken.
As far as any damages, etc., Trump has absconded with hundreds of millions (if not more) of his cult's "donations", I'm sure.
There will be (or should be) more investigations into Trump's handling of the untold millions (possibly over a billion) of dollars in donations from his cult.
Trump will be engaged in litigation against him until the day he dies, and I truly believe that's one of his "strategies" to beat the charges against him. He learned all he knows from mob lawyer Roy Cohn, after all.

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. And Trump is vacuuming up all of the discretionary dollars that the Republican Party

used to enjoy. Dark Money is going to have to inject serious cash to keep this dysfunctional Party coherent.

[moniss]

6. Best comment I've seen

today.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Rofl

[LoveTheDU]

9. lol

[calimary]

21. Hey! Welcome to DU, LoveTheDU!

Glad you're here!

This place has been an island of sanity for me, for roughly two decades. Best on the net!

[Kali]

10. LOL!

[WarGamer]

16. I'm about 110% sure that she set up separate finances decades ago.

Something like Trump deposits like $50m into a portfolio 18 years ago and 3-5m/year since...

Quite sure that she and Barron have a 9 figure safe nest egg.

[Ziggysmom]

17. Disgusting, but her choice to waste her youth and life prostituting herself for money. I hope she

has many regrets on her deathbed. I imagine her mom's recent passing has made her think more about her choices in life.

[UTUSN]

18. Hah! - ya got me!

[Raine]

19. I'm sure she has a good pre-nup and child support

arrangements were settled long ago.

[Old Crank]

20. The family gets to watch

As dementia Donnie blows all the money.

[GoodRaisin]

25. Junior might have to get a job

and he doesn’t know how to do anything but lie.

[Niagara]

43. Lie and snort coke.

[Turbineguy]

45. With those skills, he's got a future in the GOP.

[homegirl]

47. How fortunate

you and your family have been, never had a family member or close friend who went through the hell of addiction. All should be so blessed.

[Niagara]

50. How presumptuous of you

No one that I have ever seen fall into addiction thought that a deadly coup was a good idea, while bragging about it and celebrating it years after it happened.



If you don't like how I talk about the trumps, keep scrolling. My comment wasn't aimed at anyone else.

[homegirl]

55. I am giving you

the benefit of the doubt. I believe you have confused me with someone else. I am not and never have been a Trump supporter, and never will be.

VOTE BLUE!

[C Moon]

22. There will be no pity from me toward her.

[GoodRaisin]

24. Pity

Just when she thought her gold digging days were over.

[Abolishinist]

26. To be fair, it's not like she would be averse to such an arrangement!

29. Bwaaaaaah - too good

[GoCubsGo]

30. They'll both have to marry the bankers and others

who are owed money by that cretin. Neither of them will see any money from him, because he's over his worm-ridden head in debt.

[iluvtennis]

31. 😂🤣😂. n/t

[Shermann]

33. This is the low-ratings version of Deal or No Deal

Melania declined one banker's offer too many and will probably end up with the $0.01 briefcase. FAIL

[Mariana]

34. Melania is very wealthy in her own right.

She doesn't need his money. She stays with him because she wants to.

[homegirl]

39. More likely

because Putin wants her to continue on the job of oversight of Donald. Which, for the most part she doesn't live with Donald.

[joedogs]

52. agree 100%

Most differently a sleeper agent, i read she don't sleep with him is his diaper smells .

[republianmushroom]

36. Or, go back to work.

[homegirl]

38. Several years ago

Melania sued a British publishing company for slander and won a $12 MILLION judgement. Since then she has maintained the largest possible physical distance from Donald.

Donald's been flushed!!

[czarjak]

40. Slander That Slovenian?

[Demovictory9]

46. Ouch

[alterfurz]

49. "The woman who marries for money...

...usually earns every penny." -- Slovenian proverb

[TSExile]

54. Barron turns 18 in March.

It will be interested to see what happens then. Will Melania stay or will she finally try to get out when her child comes of age?
