(135,425 posts)160. If it turns out that he's broke, and jailed, he can try to sue her for the profits.
If his name is mud, there's no "disparagement" to be done. If you're telling the truth, you're not "disparaging."
All she has to do is report on things we already know, e.g. his p-grabbing ways, his attempts to seduce that PEOPLE reporter, his PLAYBOY girlfriend on the side while she was pregnant, the names he called their child, and talk about how they made HER feel.
She's learned at the knee of the master--keep him in court, paying lawyers, with money he doesn't have. If he's no value to the Russians, they'll turn off the spigot. If he stops paying the suits, they won't kill themselves trying to make his case for him.

Someone must have told him he's been criticized for leaving her to walk in the back.

"irrelevant," "simple opinions": Who says, besides two of you here? Think about THAT.

Yeah, if Melania is shirking tRump's hand grab and he feels slighted, then yeah, it isn't irrelevant

More of a brush than a slap, but yeah, she doesn't want to be a prop. (n/t)
