I've never been particularly against Melania. She had her minor son to think about. She had her parents and sister to think about. She didn't ask to be First Lady. When she tried to conform to the role she was called a hooker and opportunist. She was portrayed as a Russian player. She has bad taste in Christmas decorations, and I think she paved over a rose garden or two. But, I didn't hate her. I don't care about her nude photos, or whatever her background is. None of that matters.
Her Mom died, and her kid grew up. We have watched her bat away his tiny hands, and wear a hat with a brim to ward off his kisses. Nobody knows where she lives, and the bingo cards are guessing black Christmas trees this time around. But, why does she stay with this developing Shitler of a guy who is fat, vile, and vicious?
Is she like Eva Braun? Eva Braun was decent looking, young, and could have moved away from Hitler. Instead, she ended up dead and burning in a pit, all because of her loyalty to a monster. What has Trump done to earn this loyalty from Melania? Has she been threatened with rendition? Has he threatened to impoverish her?
By now, she should have a stash of money enough to keep her nonworking for the rest of her life. Barron is old enough to remain with her in spirit, at least. Why doesn't she slip across some border somewhere and free herself from the impending doom?
She doesn't seem to love him. She isn't affectionate with him. She doesn't even hang around him. She shows up for the most perfunctory roles during events like inauguration, state of the union speeches, etc. But otherwise, she's a ghost. After the way we treated her initially, I wouldn't blame her for being a no-show. But, I am curious why she remains married to this monster, who is only going to drag her down to destruction.
No matter what anyone says, she is still a good looking, stylish woman. She could divorce him and get herself a real love, and live in another country where she would be safe from the Orange Hellbeast. Life is too short to remain in a hell of her own choosing. To me, being First Lady would not be enough if it meant having to associate with this scowling Hitler wannabe. So far, she's just another Eva Braun, who wasted herself for...what?
Not a pressing issue. I'm just curious about why she hasn't divorced him yet. The power issue isn't enough, really.

Ocelot II
(130,533 posts)She gets to live at Mierda-Lardo and attend all the fancy parties. If she's divorced, despite being well-plasticized and given new "kidneys," she's much too old to be on the arm-candy menu of another oligarch. There's probably a pre-nup and subsequent agreements that would keep her in face-lifts and Christian Louboutin pumps for the rest of her life, but she'd fall into obscurity like the other wives if she dumps him. I think she wants to hold out until Satan calls him home, which will probably give her a much better deal than she'd get from a divorce deal.
GoCubsGo
(34,914 posts)She spends most of her time in their spray paint-gold dump of an apartment in NYC, as Barron is attending school at NYU. I'm sure she prefers to be nearby Hank, or whatever the hell his name is, too. She still gets to live that lifestyle, while having to spend as little time as possible with that demented, walking bag of stench to whom she's married, and has to be paid to be seen with him. I recall that when she does have to appear with him, she gets paid something like $250 K per appearance.

(113,967 posts)without expectations or extensive or unflattering attention.
She has had multiple post-nup agreements that require her to make very limited appearances in support of the poseur President. Despite her protected wealth from TSF and want for nothing, WE, the taxpayers are paying for her extensive personal travel, protection, and all the benefits of being First Lady, but unless you call her nasty attitude towards separated young innocent children at the border her "sacrifice," then she is provided $millions of our tax dollars for nothing.
I DO NOT get your undeserved benefit-of-the-doubt of Melania. I just have to assume you haven't read what I have (and no, not from heavily biased sources). But, I stand firmly by my assessment. She is a horrible excuse for a human being and deserves nada from the rest of us.
Ocelot II
(130,533 posts)I doubt there's a whole lot of sex going on any more with that couple, but the premise is the same.
hlthe2b
(113,967 posts)to (on occasion) make it appear otherwise.
Melania makes zero effort to hide her contempt.
The felon is a sociopath. Sociopaths attract both men and women who have features from the four Cluster B personality disorders. This holds true from sociop[aths in the gutters and rural county jails, to those born in higher ecomonic situations and are found in the gutters of corporations and government. In this case, it is a walking, talking Cluster B in human form, who has sold herself to the highest bidder. And seriously -- what option does she have? What talent? Who would bid on her if she left her husband?

I wish I had never heard of either of them. They tarnished the title of President and First Lady. Neither has my respect or sympathy.

(31,759 posts)smart, or giving, she is not active, or well-read. She has no expertise in any field of study. She has no grace or insight. She doesnt give a shit about the Christmassss, okay, and she doesnt really care, in case you were wondering, about the toddlers being psychologically tortured in wire cages on the border.
So what is it about her? People infuse her with positive characteristics and suspend skepticism because she is attractive. LIBERALS do it too. Based on her looks.
SHES AN ASSHOLE.

(64,887 posts)Mrs. Hatrack here, posting on Hatrack's account.
I've long had the theory that there is something hinky about her path to citizenship that is his hold on her. We've read that she first immigrated on a "genius" visa, or that she wasn't supposed to work in the U.S. with whatever visa she came to the U.S. on and did, etc.
I wonder if her path to citizenship was not as legal as it should have been, and that she, and perhaps her family members who came to the U.S. after her (and are now citizens), are vulnerable because they know DJT could cause problems for them in this area if they leave the MAGA/Mar-a-Lago fold.
Just a theory.

(77,323 posts)Money. She is or was a sex worker who hit it big. She lives most of the time in NYC, has or had
a boyfriend who worked for Tiffanys in Trump Tower, she lets Krasnov have his side dishes such
as Loomer, has a separate bedrooms in the White House, Merde a Logo, and other places, and
she gets paid millions just to show up @ events where Krasnov needs her to be there.
Or maybe she is working @ M.I.T. in molecular biology because she got into America under a
genius exemption.
And to think of the crap Hillary took.
keep_left
(3,210 posts)...friend of mine told me about the "merry widow clause" that's found in most prenup agreements. Basically, if Trump continues to inject his Ozempic and take whatever cocktail of statins and hypertension meds keep him alive a few more years, Melania gets an extra-rich payout. The clause in the contract is to keep her from encouraging Trump to pig out on "hamberders", KFC, and other various and sundry junk food--in the hope of him checking out sooner than later. Ain't love grand?!

(12,716 posts)I'm guessing that she's waiting for him to die, so that she's got claim to his property, etc. Once he finally succumbs to heart disease, I'm sure that there's going to be a huge battle between the 5 kids and her to see who's going to get what.
Plus, I'm sure that there's some kind of pre-nuptial agreement that they had that she loses everything if she divorces him.
sop
(18,619 posts)Since they run the Trump businesses, Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka will try to screw Barron out of his share, much like Trump did to his brother when their father died. Melania will make sure she and Barron get what's coming to them.

I would rather live in a cardboard box on the street with my boyfriend than spend one night being groped by some of these disgusting, greedy bastards. It is really just like being a prostitute having sex with some slime-bag, kissing them, or going on your knees in front of them. I dont get it. I would have to be out of my mind on drugs or alcohol to even fathom it.

She probably agreed to some deal to stay with him in exchange for money and a will that is mostly favorable to her and her son.

I really don't understand what anyone sees in her. She's too stuck up to actually do anything as First Lady. Oh yeah, her "be better" schtick that never seems to apply to republicans.
Sylish?
She's a poseur. She thought she was Jackie O at his first inauguration. Her clothes fit as poorly as his do, but in the other direction. They really should get a new taylor. But who cares about that? She's ugly inside.
She doesn't love him. But they deserve each other.
