18. My feelings precisely

Maybe not the twit thing, but anyone who says their gut feeling is "always right" should be shunned.

As to Melania, it would be difficult for me to care less about a grown woman who has made a deal with the devil and (perhaps) can't bring herself to walk away. There is no shortage of vulnerable women in abusive situations who are trapped or who feel so trapped that they are paralyzed. The trap is usually one of isolation, which can take practically any form: Physical, mental, emotional, or financial. Melania Trump is better positioned to walk away from this situation than almost any other person on the face of the planet, if she wants to.
