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

she has had another man for years.
She is probably assessing her prenup and whether the payout is in jeopardy

(1,732 posts)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

Did Melania actually say the words, Give me more money or Ill leave your ass? No, a source told Page Six, but only because it was clearly implied. Its not that she threatened to leave him, the source said. Its 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 theres a specific amount at minimum that Barron is supposed to obtain.

(5,095 posts)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.

(11,351 posts)Im 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.

(801 posts)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
(37,727 posts)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.

(19,260 posts)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.

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

(8,944 posts)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
(1,499 posts)because Putin wants her to continue on the job of oversight of Donald. Which, for the most part she doesn't live with Donald.
Most differently a sleeper agent, i read she don't sleep with him is his diaper smells .
