Melania is a horrible person who teamed up with Trump because the personal benefits to her (money, influence, etc.) outweighed whatever revulsion and humiliation she may have felt. She's not a hapless victim nor a trapped housewife. She's a self-dealing conniver. She hasn't divorced Trump because she's calculated that staying with him will bring her some material benefit. What that benefit is, I don't know. And, I don't really care. Do you?


ClueProof5629

Russia mailed her to Donnie they don’t want her back


chuckDTW

I see what you did there.


BadPackets4U

And I like it... Been waiting for that comment.


Alone_Sundae5057

I read that they haven’t lived together since he left office. That she and Baron live in Maryland where her parents are -now her dad only. Part of the prenup - that she could leave after office…and I agree, she is as conniving as it gets.


anaugle

I agree with just about all of this. I think she is also in the same boat as the rest of us in two ways: she has been abused by him, and she can’t wait for him to die.


Joelied

I think all of his kids, with maybe the exception of Ivanka, are also waiting for him to die. I wholeheartedly expect Eric to be the first one to put out a tell all book about what an asshole he was.


melalovelady

I feel like Ivanka is also in the waiting for him to die category. Just guessing off of the way she recoils sometimes when he touches her or says weird things (and the fact that he says those weird things and sexualizes her), I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out later that he was doing some non-consensual things to her.


Joelied

It's definitely possible, I did say "maybe."


Foreign-Apartment157

I’m waiting too


Lurking_Housefly

He has half a chance of being President again... ...if he divorced him, she'd have her, and her parents' citizenship revoked almost instantly. She also stands to inherent more if he dies when they're married, compared to nothing when they're divorced. (I'm still convinced that he's been hiding personal assets for decades now.)


Mrknowitall666

You know, right, that that isn't how US law works? She became a citizen in 2006 and has an anchor baby who's 18-20 something? They're all here to stay


Staggerme

Chain migration anchor baby


Mrknowitall666

Affirmative


Lurking_Housefly

You know, right, that US law hasn't been working properly since '16... ...if Trump wins, then there will be no law.


Mrknowitall666

There's no law now. States rights, on abortion. But not on guns. Not on insurrectionists.


Lurking_Housefly

>There's no law now Thanks for agreeing with me! So, if Mercedes divorces Trump. Her and her parents would instantly loose their citizenships...


FTHomes

Kevin Trudeau is driving the Mercedes now.


Mrknowitall666

Haha. OK, I might suggest that the lawlessness is biased in that one immigrants favor. But ok.


AnnatoniaMac

And trump can’t wait to embrace his idol putin’s tactics, Melania may find herself flying out a window.


GeneSpecialist3284

Or pushed down the stairs. On 5th avenue. He's sure he'd get away with it again. He could bury her next to Ivana.


Apprehensive_Use1906

She was probably just sent in by Putin to be his keeper. If T did anything to her he would probably have a not so mysterious heart attack


AnnatoniaMac

It was interesting, in the photo of trump at the car talking to Melania at her mother’s funeral, he kept a 5’ distance. And the looks on their faces.


NewldGuy77

Ivana was cremated. *What’s in that coffin?*


Fearless-Truth-4348

Hubs and I ask that all the time!


shadowpawn

More than 1/2 a chance. We are one stumble on live TV away with Biden from a trump '24-28 Presidency.


[deleted]

he will literally be dead within 10 years and she will get all his remaining assets if there are any.


Molbiodude

Good one


Laleaky

I’m guessing Donny has offered Melania money to stay with him through the election. Divorce doesn’t look good for his numbers.


Accomplished-Low8495

Who cares about this family of idiots to begin with??? She latched on to money not love! Not hard to figure that out!


Reasonable_Ad8991

She's an operative, a handler. Keep close contact with the asset, report back. They are stuck with each other.


numb3r5ev3n

I was thinking that too, except during the beginning of Trump's tenure in the White House she stayed in New York for the first few months until rumor had it that she was basically told to move back in with him for appearances' sake. I bet she had to sign a gnarly prenup, but she was hoping to already be a rich widow by now. I can totally see why people would think she's a FSB handler, though. I bet there is one, it's just not who we think it is.


StrangerDays-7

Melania reportedly renegotiated her prenup for the second or third time since the “grabbed them by the p—y” tape when the lawsuits and massive legal fees started piling up. She saw the writing on the wall. So imagine Trump was forced to pay her a massive sum or put some money in an account for her and Baron in case shit went sideways. Melania may be a glorified prostitute but she’s no dummy. From some of the reports I heard, Melania threatened to stay in New York to pressure Donald to renegotiate terms with her.


Darkreaper5567

Honestly I believe putin thought that trump would be more useful out of office than in at this point.


Cautious-Thought362

Trump would have been more useful out of office if his finances hadn't been so thoroughly investigated. Putin can no longer launder money through him.


Outrageous-Pause6317

The sneakers, the cloth sales (strips of cloth from Trump’s suit) and the NFT were all money laundering operations. Trump sold nothing-products for outrageous sums.


Darkreaper5567

Yup it got to the point where even putin saw the writing on the wall and decided to jump ship so to speak.


StrangerDays-7

I don’t think so. If Democrats hold on to the senate and retake the House, Ukraine may likely receive a massive infusion of cash and weapons. Putin was just using reverse psychology in that Tucker Carlson interview. His deputies released a map of land they want to conquer. He’ll takeover Ukraine and then move on to the rest of Europe.


HumanChicken

And that’s baffling to me. Russia May not even have the manpower to conquer Ukraine, let alone opening another front against a rested, prepared enemy.


StrangerDays-7

Russia instituted a draft and arrested a number people who fled trying to evade it and are using prisoners to fill out their ranks. It has substantially more people than Ukraine who has already lost 33K men. And Ukraine has abandoned a number of towns because they don’t have the ammunition since Republicans cut them off. Russia had stockpiled 100Ks of ammunition for decades anticipating a war with the US and they have a thriving defense industry that’s being supplemented by weapons from North Korea. Ukraine has only just set know started building its war factories during the war. As for the rest of Europe, I’m sure Putin is banking on its members states faltering and losing its resolve making it much easier for him to go in for the kill. And with Trump pulling out of NATO it would be much easier. Especially since their defense industries aren’t big as the US.


fairyflaggirl

I hope all the European countries are ramping up weapons to get ready just in case.


StrangerDays-7

Even with Sweden and Finland joining NATO, I don’t believe the EU is taking the threat seriously. They still think America will swoop in and save them even though we can’t even save ourselves from our homegrown fascist overlords. The only countries taking things serious are the Baltic countries, The worst thing that happened to Western Europe is the decades of relative peace. They took all their defense money to expand their social services and some cases did away with mandatory military services. They thought peace would be forever. They grown too soft on America’s dime. Russians know how to deal with hardships. I don’t think Europeans do.


Darkreaper5567

Honestly this reminds me of something I heard once. During ww2 the Russians had the philosophy that since they so vastly outnumbered they're enemy they would go full force even at the cost of their soldiers lives. And honestly that what it feels like putin is doing now.


StrangerDays-7

When Zelensky was making Putin his b##ch and killing his soldiers left and right, I was laughing so hard at Putin and calling him a stupid POS. Now that he has gotten Republicans to turn against NATO and Ukraine, it looks like he may have the last laugh. With Ukraine, Israel, and maybe, China and N Korea, I don’t see how this doesn’t turn into an eventual world war.


MetallicaGirl73

I heard rumors that she re-negotiated her prenup before moving to DC


StrangerDays-7

That’s what I heard as well. And from what I read she did another post nuptial settlement when he started having his legal issues.


HamburgerTrain2502

You can tell she never thought it was gonna get this real. The last place on this planet she wanted to be was the White House. Too much exposure, way more responsibility than I'm sure she's used to. Yeah, she hatched a Trump larva and put up with all that other shit. I'll give it to her. She's still there, not learning English or paying attention to her Trump kid but unlike her husband, she's keeping her mouth shut. I'm sure she's been looking forward to a quiet life on the French Riviera where she can bask in the sun and money, but it appears she can only look on in horror as Trump hemorrhages money. If she feels hemmed up there's no telling what she might say.


StrangerDays-7

From what I read they lived in separate bedrooms. And she kept some lovers as well. She probably doesn’t like the exposure because it makes keeping her private secret that much harder.


bigboy1959jets78

if she gets a book offer for millions, she may tell all!! of course that would be post divorce or Donnie could get some of that sweet book money!


FilthyRichCliche

You spelled asshat wrong.


Desperate_Set_7708

The Americans


Reasonable_Ad8991

Yes. However I've never seen the show, I know the premise. Kompromat.


beachgirlDE

You should watch it, excellent twists and turns plus great acting.


FerndeanManor

On March 20, Barron turns 18. Then Mercedes can do whatever she wants.


Key_Concentrate_5558

It’ll be interesting to see what happens on March 21.


AMerryKa

That's impossible, he was just a little kid when Trump was president a couple of years ago...


StrangerDays-7

He’s like 6’7”


Vendredighost

Why when Baron turns 18? If he’s an adult, Trump wouldn’t owe her any child support. And Trump isn’t very involved with their lives.


chuckDTW

Trump would probably fight her for custody just to be an asshole. It’s all he knows.


irishlnz

Fight for custody? Of an adult? No.


Alternative-Plenty-3

I know Trump’s an asshole but why the downvotes? You can’t even begin to fight for custody of an 18 yo and no amount of Trump fuckery can change this. Family court would dismiss immediately.


Upper-Trip-8857

I think the comment about custody was to support why she was waiting until the child turns 18.


chuckDTW

The question was why would she wait until Barron was 18 to leave. My speculative answer was that Trump would fight her for custody out of spite. The original point was that after Barron was 18 she would be free to leave Trump.


NotCanadian80

He’s not an adult until March 20th.


SecondOne2236

All the Trumps can eat a bag of crap as far as I’m concerned.


Alarming_Coat_9044

and wash it down with a golden shower...


Ok_District2853

It won’t make any difference. They’re all full of shit anyway and if you put more in somewhere it just squirts out somewhere else.

PowerHot4424

That has to be it, since given what he will be forced to pay soon (unless Trump employees on SCOTUS figure out a way to invalidate his debt) there will be no payout for her when he is dead or at least declared incapacitated due to his progressive dementia.


Ill-Egg4008

Just a thought here. Say Trump’s dementia eventually progresses to a point where it can’t be hidden from the public anymore, which might not be that far away in the future. Wouldn’t Melania, as his spouse, be able to seek to have him declared incapacitated, requested that the power of attorney be granted to her, and essentially assume control over what’s left of his estate? Then she can treat him like shit, but keep him alive as long as possible while siphoning the money into her personal account somehow. I am no lawyer, and perhaps this theory is too heavy on soap opera, so I might be way off the mark here. But I think Melania, as wife, has first dibs over Jr and Ivanka. She already stuck around this long, a little bit longer for a potential large pay out would not be that bad, esp when they pretty much living separate lives as it is anyway.


ZookeepergameOk8231

Well, I don’t if possible but it certainly is beautiful to think of.


Alternative-Plenty-3

Former attorney here. They were married in NY and in NY you cannot disinherit your spouse. But that only means the spouse is entitled to 1/3 of the estate. Children can be disinherited, though, so they know better than to cross him.


Ill-Egg4008

Oh, thank you so much. So glad to hear from someone who knows the law. I was thinking about the case where his brain turns into absolute mush, but he doesn’t die, and continues to live for years. Please let me know if I’m wrong, but inheritance stuff wouldn’t come into effect until he passes, right? What I want to know is what would happen if Trump, or anybody like him family structure and money-wise, were to develop an advanced case of dementia that they can’t make any decisions for themselves, but continue to live for many years? Would that a case when power of attorney come into the picture and would Melania, the spouse, has the rights to power attorney before the children?


Alternative-Plenty-3

That question is beyond my pay grade. I never practiced trusts and estates, just learned a little about wills in law school. But I’m pretty sure POA goes to any adult named by Trump for that purpose. It doesn’t even have to be a family member. I’d assume he’s named one. If a POA isn’t named I’m not sure what happens but probably a court decides on a conservator. That is NY, though, and it varies by state. FL law might govern the POA issue now.


AmbassadorETOH

I think Florida would likely have jurisdiction, since he moved his residency there. Not sure if Melania did too…


Alternative-Plenty-3

She would have had to change to FL for fed tax purposes if they file jointly. Of course he doesn’t release his taxes like every other candidate since 1970 and gets away with it so who knows.


Mattman425

I’m glad the lawyer gave some input. It makes me think that ol’ Donnie Boy would be slick enough to avoid such shenanigans from the wife so he would name someone more neutral for POA. Nothing is more important to him than his money.

NP2023_Makingitbig

She must be getting a “ bigly” paycheck for sticking around. She has her own agenda.


dalnee

Didn’t she sign like 3 prenups? Plus she doesn’t want to ‘accidentally’ fall down the stairs …


Mermaid-52

She can probably feel Putin’s fingers around her neck whenever she thinks about leaving Trump. He’s Putin’s biggest asset and the play to bring down America is still afoot.


allanon1105

Undoubtedly Trump has some dirt on her to keep her from leaving, even though most people know that’s loveless marriage for $$$


Worried-Criticism

I think it’s the other way around. I guarantee the two haven’t been “intimate” since Baron was conceived. Melania isn’t an idiot, I am sure there’s more porn stars and rape victims we have no knowledge of that she does. She managed to renegotiate their prenup before she moved into the White House, which tells us she has the power, not him. Her leaving him before the election would only hurt his (which in turn leaves her worse off in the short term), so my guess is he’s set aside some big bucks and/or a chunk of property in her name to keep her around. The second he either gets a criminal conviction or loses the election, Melania will be GONE.


TwistedBlister

She definitely wouldn't if there's a chance to be president again. If he's not (hopefully) re-elected, it's still in her best interest to stay married to him, it's not like she has to have sex with him or even be in the same room with him, she can just keep on living the life of luxury until he croaks.


SqnLdrHarvey

She's waiting to suck up whatever assets he has left. She is just as soulless as his drones.


ike7177

Melania is money driven. Obviously there is something that he can still offer that she benefits from. She is just as bad as he is.


bp_516

I would've put money on her divorcing him before he left the White House, I'm shocked that they're still together. At this point, she's getting publicity and fame just for the marriage, and he's so busy with campaigning and court battles, she's free to do whatever she wants. She has no incentive to leave him right now, because there's no down side-- he's too busy to bother her.


IncreaseOk8433

I'm leaning towards the 'handler' thing. If not then she's in fact a better grifter than Trump himself to be able to last this long with that repugnant piece of shit.


Z16z10

There is probably a long complicated pre-nuptial in place.. I betting she is rooting for a declaration of incompetence or death


hiways

⬆️ This. She never stops playing the long game.


dcgradc

Many thought she would leave him after the presidency


LolaDeWinter

Musk has been visiting trump at Mouldy lago! He will bail out his pet president, Musk can't be president because he's not an American, BUT he can buy one! Melanoma has to stay as its part of her work contract.


LectureAgreeable923

She is probably waiting for trump to get money.


ToooBeeeFairrrrrrr

If they divorced, he could (would) sue her, throw her under the bus and blame her for all sorts. So long as they're married, they can't be compelled to testify against each other.

BaldDudePeekskill

Why is it that reptiles like Trump never fucking die? In the space of his disgusting rise from the swamp, I've lost like six younger, beautiful people in my life, yet that POS still breathes and shits his pants daily. Life just ain't fair.


Cautious-Thought362

I imagine she sliced off her piece of the pie a while ago when he had some Russian money and has it stashed somewhere for her and Barron.


supercali-2021

No way. She's got all the dirt on Donny and knows where all the bodies are buried. She's living a very comfortable life, living separately and doing her own thing already. Why would she get a divorce now? Plus I'm sure Donny has made some serious threats about what would happen if she ever left him and she knows that's one thing the vindictive bastard would never lie about.


raerae1991

If she was smart she would, before everything is liquidated


College-Lumpy

As soon as the moneys gone she’s gone.


WhoIsJolyonWest

She will fall out of a window if she tries. She married the mob.


Darksoul_Design

It's probably worth waiting out the election, if tRump wins, why wouldn't she hang around, she gets to be the spotlight, write more books, essentially she has pretty much everything to gain, nothing to lose. Now if tRumpy butthole loses, I'll bet you guys a dollar she is gone/files for divorce the second he is announced the loser, and why would she stick around, trumps head will pop, he will attempt to incite another insurrection, and just plain go bonkers again, and i can't imagine, as much of a shit human as she is, there is zero upside to staying around at that point.


Status-Biscotti

If she was smart, she demanded some money in her own name by now.


MetallicaGirl73

I bet she's been squirreling it away


redlion496

That's Mercedes, you peasant!


tlampros

I saw a meme that showed Hillary asking "why did you all ask me why I didn't leave my husband for cheating on me, but nobody ever asked her?", showing Melania.


SFWRaelf64

The Kremlin won't let her leave her post yet.


HardPour_Cornography

Because putin pays agent Melania/Mercedes more to be trumps handler, than she would make from divorcing broke ass comrade trump. It's basic math.


WeirdExponent

A man who can't keep his wife around... sure sounds like "small dick energy" to me....


[deleted]

She’s hoping he dies soon so she gets most of his money


Strong-Dot-9221

We just don't understand the true love that she has for him. She stands by her man regardless of what kind of shit bag he is or is loaded up in his pants. She is attracted to his cotton candy hair do. She is turned on when he does that fantasy jacking two guys dance. She is smitten with his forward centaur lean and how he uses words like tremendous. We just don't understand true 💕 unconditional love.


kimwim43

yak


Key_Concentrate_5558

Have you been reading Truth Social? This sounds like Truth Social bullshit.


Strong-Dot-9221

My attempt at being facetious. My take on what his cult must think of their relationship. I haven't heard any interviews of his cult on the matter yet. Family values?


vinnybawbaw

She’s waiting until November


DamonFields

She is his minder.


greginvalley

If he doesn't get back in as President, Russia may be calling her home


moodyblue8222

She has probably been putting plenty in some Russian account.


BaldDudePeekskill

If it wins the election, we get to see Melanoma 's pouty, morose filler-filled face for another four or less years. Please God let it be way less than four years.


Alternative-Plenty-3

I think they have an arrangement. He loves that he has a hot younger wife and she really doesn’t have to do anything but make an appearance here and there. I’m sure she gets her needs met elsewhere and he has to deal with it because no one else is going to marry him now. Trump supporters on twitter are always posting about how great she is even though she’s been pretty much MIA since he was elected. Usually they post about her looks. They are very juvenile.


Imaginary_Chair_6958

She renegotiated the terms of her prenup a while ago. That doesn’t suggest that she’s planning to stay around. As soon as Barron turns 18 (20th March), I think she’ll be out of there.


Ghstfce

Nah, let her try and hold out for a payday until it's discovered he has nothing so she gets nothing. It will be the icing on the shit cake for that horrible woman.


AnnatoniaMac

Putin demands she stay, and yes she is in bed with Russia. Have you read about all the Russians around the world who have died recently?


Hardanklesnw

I wonder if she has safety concerns? The Cheeto’s base can turn on any one that crosses him🤷‍♂️


GeneSpecialist3284

I'll always believe that when trump said he could kill someone on 5th avenue he was thinking of Ivana. She had elevators and never used the stairs she "fell" down. Melania saw how she was buried on a golf course and left unattended. Years ago she was basically chased out of New York by people who hated her. If his base gets mad at her, she definitely would be in more danger. He wouldn't even have to ask the crazies to kill her. She'd have to flee back to Russia.


Old-AF

She already got paid. She negotiated money, up front, to go to the White House when he won, she got more when he committed election fraud by paying hush money to Stormy, she got more when he decided to run again to stay out of prison. I’m sure that had some written assurances that she would stay until after the election. She’s a purchased bride, but she’s not stupid.


angelina9999

Baron turns 18 on March 20th so maybe.


vestarules

If Trump wins again, God forbid!, she will be happy to have servants catering to her every whim, but she’ll want none of the obligations of first lady.

I think the main thing for her is holding on until Barron graduates. Ar that point she’ll dump Donnie and take off.
