CNN Opinion........Why does Melania Stay with Trump?

[Miles Archer]

18. Here's one scenario. Melania is angry. She's flown to Mar-a-Lago...

...with a security detail, at taxpayers' expense. where she is "pampered in the spa."

Sweet deal, right? It's something that actually happened a month or so ago. She was supposed to travel with Trump, she went to Mar-a-Lago alone instead.

I don't see that she's particularly gifted in any way, or has a "cause" to devote her time to (Anti-CyberBullying campaign, anyone?).

I think the only thing that kept her from staying in Trump Tower with her son was "bad optics"...the daily cost to provide security for her there, the cost to fly her back and forth to Washington when she "had" to be there.

So now she's in the White House, and reportedly she and Trump sleep in separate rooms.

Regarding your comment "She had to know that he would never have been faithful to her or even his mistresses after she became his wife," yeah...but my guess is that when Trump voiced "presidential aspirations" in the past, she hedged her bets and never thought that he'd go through with it (and if he did, she probably thought he wouldn't win).

She rolled the dice and lost. Not financially, of course, which may be all that matters to her. I, personally, would be completely nuts if the daily headlines were about my girlfriend throwing down with pornstars and models. I think the only time she likes the spotlight if she's "looking fabulous," and she never looks that way to me. She seems to be empty, shallow, and she helped carry Trump's "birther" flag for him, so I have no sympathy or empathy for what she's going through.

There's gotta be a pre-nup. My guess is that when Trump is out of office, she'll cash in her chips and that'll be the end of it.
