Trump Reportedly Made Melania Promise She'd "Get Her Body Back" Before He Agreed to Have a Kid

As a middle-aged white guy, I can't believe I'm linking to Elle magazine, but this guy's views on women piss me off so much.

"About six months after they married, [Trump] became pregnant with Barron—and things changed," according to Vanity Fair's new and delicious piece on Melania Trump's general unhappiness, titled "Inside the Trump Marriage: Melania's Burden."

"She was 35—'checkout time' for women, as Trump once told Howard Stern-and no longer the dewy fox he'd met seven years earlier. A visitor to one of Trump's homes, late into Melania's pregnancy, recalls him remarking that he agreed to the baby on the condition that Melania would get her body back. 'She promised him that everything would go back to the way it was,' says this guest; it struck this person as a 'contract.'"

4. did he get HIS body back

yes he did, and a couple others as well.
fatty cant stay away from the buffet table.
He will be as fat as Grover Cleveland by the time he is kicked out.

Its to vile to even think about
him touching anyone living or dead.

7. I wonder what age he thinks is "checkout time"

for men?

What a slime he is.

8. Wait, wait; before we all rush to judgment: What does Ivanka say?

As we all know, Ivanka is on record endorsing dear old dad's relentless advocacy for women. While it's not clear how the women President Trump grabbed by pussy feel about this, we can't just write Trump off as a skeevy buttmunch until Ivanka trumpsplains it for us. We should be treated to a parade of teen-age pageant contestants who were standing around in the dressing room in their altogethers when Trump strolled in to leer at them. I hope the woman that Trump moved in on like a bitch even though he knew she was married will come forward to favor us all with tales of Trump's advocacy. Perhaps Ivanka will tell us in her own filial words how she feels about her father's repeated comments over the years complimenting her on her various bodily parts, and how he'd pursue her if she wasn't, you know, his daughter.

Ivanka? Ivanka?

9. I do remember reading an interview from shortly after she'd had the baby

where the interviewer noted Melania had lost the baby weight, and her jerk husband corrected, "almost all...."

[bettyellen]

11. Same way he tested the miss universe -exaggerating her weight gain by 3xthe amount....

Publicly humiliating her for good PR from sexist assholes who live seeing a woman under his thumb.

10. There it is

The quintessential sexism of Donald Trump. Not that crap of "grab by the pussy" wasn't a defining moment.

The thing that bugs me the most, is he himself is so goddamn repugnant. A lot of people can have less than perfect bodies and still be kinda sexy, or just plain desirable in some way. Not him. Blech. Personally, I'd rather gut wormy fish for a year that have Trump anywhere near me. All that glitters is not gold, indeed.

12. Not that I really feel sorry for her but

how often through her entire life do you think Ivanka heard disapproval from daddy about her weight? He thinks she is hot and I am sure he insists that she works her ass off and eat very little to stay at his level of what he thinks women to be. Tiffany is not extremely plastic looking like Ivanka, in fact she is not unrealistically skinny and I personally think she is prettier than Ivanka and Melania.

13. And while she was carrying his son

And no doubt monitoring every bite she ate, he was off grabbing pussy.

14. Elle and Team Vogue have done some really good reporting and analysis lately

Yeah - I know it's weird, right?
