90. Indeed. Melania is trapped in a prison of her own making.

But now and then, she shows a side of herself that is mostly kept stifled. Those pictures capture such a moment. So perhaps she does have a few redeeming qualities. 😉

Still, I find it hard to generate very much sympathy for her since she made this bargain with a truly evil man. Maybe in time, we’ll learn more about why she did it, but love does not appear to be part of that equation. Unless it is love of money.....it is pretty obvious that love of money often is the motivating factor behind such marriages. He was a well known skunk and womanizer when they met and later married.
