Maybe stating the obvious, but I feel like their marriage was transactional. Less about romance and more about the money and image.
If she stays with him, it’s because he’s still paying her.
Each of his wives married him for a reason— and it certainly wasn’t love.
They all got what they deserved, too.

That’s a little harsh. He allegedly beat and raped Ivana. Many years later, when she died by “falling” down the stairs, he buried her in a pauper’s grave on his golf course so he could get a tax write-off.

Everyone who ever helped him get where he is today got what they deserved, from Mrs Buried on a Golf Course, to America’s Mayor sweating away the last vestiges of his credibility on a landscaping company forecourt.
It’s like all the warning signs are right there, and every single one just believes everyone else was dumb, and they’ll be the one to get a reward.
They’re truly capitalists: no risk no reward. Except they’re really bad capitalists as in “this is all risk no reward.”
I almost kind of doubt that they have had sex. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Barron was conceived via IVF.
I think so too, but I also expect Melania to stoop that low for money.
Nah, trump would absolutely have it in the pre up that he gets to have sex at least one a year and she gives him one kid.
That may be true. It still wouldn’t surprise me if Barron was conceived through IVF. I can’t imagine the dude who doesn’t exercise because he thinks a person’s energy over a lifetime is finite has the best sperms count or motility.
What beautiful model wouldn’t want to marry an arrogant liar, who paints his face orange, is 25 years older, has a public history of infidelity, and has one of the weirdest combovers the world has ever seen?
I’m not sure, but how is that relevant?
Yeah. I don’t get it either. All my broke friends that are ugly and assholes are swimming in super models.
She knows that if she ditches him, and he becomes dictator, and he becomes more Putin-like, he may have her murdered or torture-murdered.
I’d say she has no choice about sticking with him, now: it’s a fact of her basic-survival, in the long-term view.
I feel like people that are that calculating are also capable of calculating what happens if he karks it.
She becomes a martyr, gets to fade away with what’s left of her dignity and his wealth,
If you think Melania isn’t as much of a shit heel as the man she chose to marry after experiencing how he acted with models you’re honestly being misogynistic at this point. Women aren’t innocent naive little things that “gosh I couldn’t possibly think for myself.” Melania charted a path into the whitehouse and was willing to put up with a lot of shit to get there.
She also ripped out the rose gardens at the white house…that should have been a crime
I dislike her too, but the story is a bit more nuanced this time (and the trees replanted elsewhere on the grounds; the roses were getting too shaded)

Was that shit in adult diapers? Serious answers only.
Yes, specifically from the infamous villain… “The Felonious Fascista Fecelator.”

She ain’t held on this long to get out now. She’s looking for that final payoff. Though I’m sure she’s Furious that he’s lasted so long.
What can she be holding out for Is there a dead president pension she’s gonna be “entitled to”
Well yes actually there is, but I was talking about all of his other assets both public and hidden both legal and illegal.

Yes. News
Melania won’t leave Trump unless she can be assured that the payout she gets from leaving him will be bigger than the payout for out-living him. This is surely every bit a business relationship in the way that the Clintons are; it’s almost certainly a transactional relationship.
Yeah, Trump is scum. Melania isn’t a better person though. They deserve each other.
She’s playing the long game, no matter what she’ll get out of the prenup she’ll get more as a widow.
Trump’s 77, eats like shit, never exercises, and he has an Adderall addiction. She won’t have to wait too long and the payoff will be better.
