Related: About this forumSo when is Melania's "news conference" regarding her questionable citizenship status?
Updated 8:06 PM ET, Tue August 9, 2016
Fayetteville, North Carolina (CNN)Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that his wife will hold a news conference "over the next couple of weeks" to address reports that she violated immigration laws when she first came to the U.S.
Trump said his wife would prove that "she came in totally legally."

I personally think that if this doesn't happen, and I don't think it will, it will be because there's some truth to it.

(7,768 posts)She's a trophy on his arm and that is all. ('course she's a liar and a phony also) BUT, there may not be much inheritance left to brawl over after the Russian mob gets theirs. And they WILL.

(4,113 posts)You know darned well that people like Trump don't enter into a marriage without a pre-nup agreement.

(3,284 posts)His ex-wife Ivana made allegations suggesting abuse, if I recall. And a former employee of Trump's said that Ivana spent 90% of her time trying not to "anger" him.
It seems like Melania never speaks or makes an appearance unless it's in a very controlled setting. I wonder if she's afraid of incurring his wrath, because she seems unable to relax or be herself in public. I feel bad for her if that's the case; she probably feels trapped.

(1,242 posts)or not to me . If /when she does they probably figure it will be worth 2 to 3 days news . All she has to do is release her paperwork
immigration papers / which one she had also her citizen paper work . If she really wants to her college papers , also since Don is not going to release his taxes how about hers ?

(58,785 posts)his behavior, but I suspect he has had almost everything to say about what we've seen and heard of her. She seems like a not especially admirable but very ordinary person in way over her head. I could care less if her papers are in order, and my bleeding heart would spare her a defensive press conference.
Kathy M
(1,242 posts)On one hand I do say leave her alone ... on the other hand her husband is running for President , as long as there are
questions I do not think she completely innocent and she should only reply by releasing her papers no news conference . Their son I feel for , he is just a kid mixed up in the middle of all this right now . Would be nice if she made a clean break of charade / marriage so the kid would have a chance to be normal .
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)could help take down more bad GOP legislators with Trump I'd have to be all behind it. Just releasing her papers sounds good to me too, though.
I wonder how much the boy sees. Trump's gone most of the time, of course, probably always was. He looks a lot like his dad, and Melania calls him "Little Donald" because in personality he's supposed to be a lot like him, but that could just be stroking dad. Hope so. A disposition to personality disorder can apparently be inherited, but it's far from a guaranteed thing.

(58,785 posts)a mentally disabled man won't make that mistake again -- for another 20 years or so, when they'll have forgotten.
Seriously, at least after this more people will know personality disorders exist. A lot of people had never heard of them. Still haven't.
Kathy M
(1,242 posts)As soon as you said personality disorder .... Some of the classes I took at Kent branch came flooding back ....... Have been trying
to put a finger on what is wrong and this fits very well . Thanks for the reminder .
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)and spoke, not of "temperament" or whatever, but of personality disorder. Of course he's an expert. Trump's been a butt of NY humor for decades (since they can't get rid of him, might as well laugh?), and Trudeau's actually put together a new book of 30 years of Doonesbury cartoons featuring Trump. I'd like to see it, but of course in a way we already have. He says Trump's not changed much at all.

(7,768 posts)She made the rounds on TV spouting the "Birther" bullshit and asking for President Obama to release his college transcripts. THAT is especially rich since hers were falsified! Fuck her.

But that being said - I have exactly NO sympathy for her. Those two deserve each other. Richly, if you will pardon the pun.

(10,870 posts)Think she was very angry that she was thrown under the bus after her convention speech, then the nude lesbian Pix, and now the immigration thing.
She doesn't need this shit.
Just take as much money as she can and move back to Europe wit their son.

(42,862 posts)PS: There will never be a Melania Trump news conference. At most, a representative will read a prepared statement, but she won't be the one speaking, and there will definitely not be a Q&A session.

(7,627 posts)With the manafort debacle, I do not think Melania will go and talk about her immigration status.
In fact, she may need her dual citizenship to be able to flee the US after november 8th. At the rate its going, Trump and Manafort may also require asylum from Putin...
