All Be Best was about was her glomming onto existing charities and trying to grift off them

Melon agreed to a life of wealth and gold-plated terlets in exchange for letting naked Donald Trump flop around on her like a sea lion once a year, while pretending to be “wife” and doing a few photo ops with him. She was as horrified as we all were when the electoral college awarded the presidency to the candidate with 3 million fewer votes. She knew the spotlight was now on her and her humiliating sham marriage for 4 long years. She was bitter, exasperated and disinterested everyday. She slapped his hand away. She wore coats with blunt messages about not giving a shit. She spent less and less time in DC. Her prenup must be a doozy for her to continue wasting years tied to that miserable fart burger.

Melania is the only person I know who has a good excuse for voting for Trump, it's the only way she can get him out of the house on a long-term basis.

How much extra would that farce cost taxpayers? We saw the astronomical costs of Secret Service during tffg 4years, maybe a comparison chart to current administration could be made for reference... Ditto the WH pharmacy... Maybe DOD should release that report now so voters could compare to tffg prescription drug dealing years? I remember seeing multiple '19 entries for 2000 Ambian.

Melanoma will do whatever FSB controller tell her. If needed to issue orders bc husband in permanent executive time coma, Melanoma will direct Project 2025 as mouthpiece.

Okay, it’s obvious to anyone with eyes that just being within three feet of him makes her skin crawl. So why is she still in the marriage? Air tight prenup?

She'd rather own the libs than her own life.

She knows that vengeful ass would have her deported and she'd never see her son again.

You don't march that ball down the field and just give up on the one-yard line.

She's earning every penny.

Trump has only ever had transactional sex.

"Of course, we know one way for sure to make sure Melania doesn’t ever so much as have a drawer for her tacky jackets in the White House, and it is called VOTING"

OK so this is absolutely a Mah big toe ain't achin' so there ain't gonna be no storm sort of prediction, but. The previous times this convicted felon ran for pres, comment sections on news articles I saw were 50/50 at best, and when Hilz was in the mix, we'd be lucky if Dems could garner that much support.

But now? Sure you still get the occasional righteously indignant patriot droning for us libbies to pay attention. However, most comments seem thoroughly sick of him if not actively anti-tRump. To the point where the rare pro-MAGAt poster seems almost surely a plant. Proves nothing, I know, but I take cheer from it. Maybe you will too.

Even granting that she's almost as big a crumb bum as he is...

One can't reasonably blame her for not being the supportive wifey after a notorious, public trial where the details of her husband cheating on her with a porn star were splashed all over every media worldwide.

If he can't even stick to the script and PRETEND to be a loyal husband, why should she have to stick to the script and pretend to be a loyal wife? Either we're playing the game, or we're not.

How did Axios miss the angle that if Trump is elected, he will simply use his Day 1 dictator powers to have federal agents seize Melania and bring her to the White House. And seize all her assets. And anyone else's too.

I mean, dictator gonna dictate, right?

This red sparrow was assigned to do one thing: marry The Donald and keep him under a certain Eastern power's control. She did that, and now she doesn't give two shites what the buffoon does. She got the money, and a kid she seems to like.

Don't know that she actually likes her kid, but there might possibly be some tiny shred of parental concern in that vicious vapid brain of hers.

More likely there are payouts related to being present for Barron's early life milestones - birth, high school graduation, college graduation, etc.

I think making sure he wasn't alone with his half-siblings was the real issue. What with a fifth of an inheritance being smaller than a quarter.

OMG that's dark but it makes so much sense.

Melania has such a busy schedule, what witht he avoiding her husband and trying to stay at least a few states away from him at all times, she couldn't even show up to any of his trials. Clearly she would not have the time to be arm candy for a person that she is only contractually required to be around as long as "their" child is living at home.

"Axios is also already writing breathless articles about 'These could be the new Trump hangouts in DC' during a second term."

I don't have the time to read the article. The City Jail? The Federal Jail? The Sewer Plant? Where else?

Oof a fair amount of slut shaming on this thread.

He did just face a trial about banging porn stars, not to mention the Carroll cases.

Trump is a total slut.

Gotta say, I'm not loving the way my provider's telehealth services are working lately. The appointment reminders they provide are off by 8 hours --they don't seem to have figured out that they don't need to pretend we're all in UTC. And the link doesn't get sent out until the meeting starts, so there is no getting on early and making sure things work. Although today's invite was actually sent out an hour after the meeting ended, so there was no getting on at all. OTOH, having the provider call was great -- it sounded like she had her phone on speakerphone, and was resting it against the keyboard. Every time she typed, it sounded like a clatter of clutter. Even worse, she accused me of having autism. Wait, no, that was more of a preliminary diagnosis, to be confirmed in the next 2-18 months by a specialist, depending on when they can get to me. I LOVE ADVENTURES IN BRAIN!

Gotta say that Melania Trump is the one Trump I come closest to liking, because she's the only one who will GO THE FUCK AWAY. I might have said that about Ivanka at one point, but reporting has made it clear that she and Jared, like the unashamed remoras they are, will certainly rediscover their love and fealty for Daddy, if he gets elected. What a vile family.
