CNN Opinion........Why does Melania Stay with Trump? [View all]

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/17/opinions/why-does-melania-stay-drexler/index.html

I read this article and surmised that she likes the lifestyle she has become accustomed to living, despite the dispicable cad Trump is. Melania is nothing more than a trophy to look at, but never touch. She has been bought. She had to know that he would never have been faithful to her or even his mistresses after she became his wife.
