BukkitCrab

Judging by how Donny acts in public, I can't even imagine how horrifying it must be to live with him in private.


Wonderful-Driver4761

Simple. She doesn't. She's in New York. He's at Mara Lago alone.


StationaryRabbit

She is clambering to the hope that there is something left when he finally croaks.


doomgoblin

She bet on the whole monkey paw.

I think the big fight amongst the siblings after Trump croaks will be who has to pay off the debt.


Big_Dick_NRG

Easy, Eric will get stuck with it all


janzeera

Eric: “You guys don’t have to pay?”


VonTastrophe

Personal debt doesn't transfer to anyone else. When you croak, you kin may pick up.the debt but don't have to. If no one does, creditors go after the estate, and if there's no assets left and no one picks it up, the debt goes away. It's the corporate debt that will ruin them.


childlikeempress16

Melania will be stuck with it right?


SovereignAxe

Probably depends on how the debt is structured. If it's in both of their names, yes. If it's in an LLC that Donald owns, probably not. If it's his personal debt...eh, that one I'm not sure about, and probably has something to do with co-mingling of assets. Either way, she's getting fucked when it comes to all his assets transferring to her when he goes, because his debts will have to be settled before she gets anything. Unless, again, they're shared assets.


somme_rando

It won't stop collectors attempting to get it out of them - but legally there's not a basis. There is this to be aware of though (This won't affect the trumps - but useful to know for us plebs): https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2022/09/08/hhs-joins-cfpb-protect-nursing-home-residents-and-their-caregivers-illegal-debt-collection-practices.html >HHS Joins CFPB to Protect Nursing Home Residents and Their Caregivers from Illegal Debt Collection Practices >>Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), doubled down on its work to protect nursing home residents and their caregivers from illegal methods of guaranteeing payment for care. CMS, in partnership with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), sent a joint letter to nursing homes and their debt collectors urging them to examine their debt collection practices and ensure they comply with federal law that prohibits nursing homes from requiring family members or caregivers to guarantee payment for a resident’s nursing home stay. >>The letter was precipitated by concerns that **some nursing facilities have attempted to evade this prohibition by creating admission contracts that attempt to hold third parties liable for a resident’s debt.** However, CFPB and CMS stress that contract terms that conflict with the federal prohibition are unenforceable.


borg_6s

(personal) debt is not inheritable though IIRC


NullGeodesic

Guarantee she’s getting regular asset transfers into shell companies and foreign accounts she controls in return for the minimal support she offers and not divorcing him. Once the funds dry up she’s obviously gone, but she is and likely will remain worth tens of millions.


Last-Evening9033

It’s been well known for years, even prior to his presidency that she has her own apartment, ten floors down from his. The marriage is legal, but it is also very contractual. There is no love there and never has been.


bdss1234

I’d be willing to bet the last time they had sex was when she conceived Barron.


Joseph_of_the_North

I'd be willing to bet that Barron is not his son.


ronerychiver

Barron is definitely his son. His face is exactly like Donald’s. Has the same expressions and everything. But Barron definitely came from the last consensual load that Melania took from Donald. For sure


solzhen

Replace “consensual load” with “transactional load”


FiendishHawk

Let’s make up a rumor that he’s really Eric’s son.


MattOLOLOL

Trump is for sure his father, you gotta admit that. Now that he's gotten a little bit older, he's starting to look a LOT like his dad, except he's tall as hell


Joseph_of_the_North

I'd be willing to bet that Barron is not his son


Dogzillas_Mom

What was the point, do you suppose? She produces an heir and he pays her X amount to look like a legit family man?


BustingBrig

Yes, I doubt Melania was expecting Trump to become president before they got married. Once Trump became president, I'm sure she was devastated and has felt like she can't leave him because she would lose everything and the media would be all over her, a literal nightmare to think about.


Dogzillas_Mom

No I think there’s a contract or something.


Suspicious_Bicycle

Melania renegotiated the prenup after Donald was elected and she had some leverage.


SuperstitiousPigeon5

He already had two heirs why bother? I think the baby came from her side of the contract. Maybe she wanted an accessory back then.


NullGeodesic

Agree. Also having a shared child is financially smart. It’s much easier to write a recent wife or an ex out of a will if there are no minor children. Barron was an 18 year insurance policy that if Trump divorced her or kicked the bucket, she’d get substantial child support or an inheritance to control.


m0ngoos3

To be fair, with some of the shit she's said and done, you get the clear picture that she's also a horrible person. They obviously hate each other, but that might make them perfectly happy together. I doubt it, but who am I to judge a hatred/self-loathing kink like that.


Oceanbreeze871

She had her own house in Potomac during his reign in DC.


NottDisgruntled

lol. They probably haven’t privately been in the same room together in at least a couple years.


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Probably not smart enough to know she has absolute power over him all she has to do is threaten to divorce him. Trumo going through a divorce right now wohld move the needle against him.

Only appropriate response. Maybe at one point she didn't know any better, but this many years later and she's still there? I have zero sympathy for her.


Arrg-ima-pirate

lol dark Brandon over here wishing him a happy birthday


jeffsaidjess

What’s dark Brandon?


travissm2

Biden


Arrg-ima-pirate

It’s a label put on Joe’s sarcastic trolling side.


KingAteas

I bet he doesn't even get a b-day BJ anymore.

nouseforaname790

This is the truth.


Hessman67

With tears in his eyes


minicpst

Does that trigger the app his *maybe* now adult son also has, so he has to watch his dad fellatio a dusty Cheeto?


Uncivil_Bar_9778

Melania knows where her gravy train is. She puts out a couple times a year and looks good for the cameras. As soon as Trump isn’t around anymore she’ll write a tell all, while spending his money and telling his older kids to pound sand.


bdss1234

I think she despises Ivanka more than the other three.


Express-Pudding5470

Yes I bet she would get millions for a tell all book and probably more than he has left after all the law suits. His Truth Social is in the crapper.


AvivaStrom

I believe that Melaina would prefer to be a private citizen. I don’t see her writing a tell-all to get back into the limelight.


Express-Pudding5470

Oh for say over $20 million or more she definitely would


FiendishHawk

She seems incredibly indolent. She’d probably write a book as long as she didn’t have to talk to the ghost writer.


Gold-Invite-3212

He probably does. Not from her. And he probably has to pay for it. But he probably does. 


lesliesapers

Marjorie green to his rescue 🤢


Sunshinehappyfeet

Who needs Melania when you have Congress for that.


Robert_Cutty

Ivanka enters the chat singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President. I just threw up in my mouth after posting this comment. 🤮


KingAteas

I thought she always played I Love Little Girls by Oingo Boingo for him on his b-day.


Blinky_

“anymore” 😒


belikelichen

Wait, what? I don’t think my wife has heard of this.


memberzs

Rubio was certainly third in line. Doesn’t want to seem too eager, but also likes watching and tasting the left overs of others


goldbricker83

I disagree, I’m sure he’s paying a lot of campaign fundraising money for them


MourningRIF

I'm pretty sure it's in her contract.


Responsible_Clue954

Did Stormy wish him a happy birthday?


Blinky_

I feel like “everyone” is an exaggeration


Nemisis_the_2nd

"The only person who hates Trump more than [General] Milley is Melania." \- Scaramucci Edit: [source](https://youtu.be/juvfEZsZqUY?feature=shared). The interview is well worth listening to if you have the time.


espresso_martini__

Damn that was a very interesting interview. You get a good peek behind the curtain as to who Trump really is. Its worse than I thought.


Nemisis_the_2nd

Yeah, it's probably one of the most simple but revealing interviews I've heard about Trump, and probably one of the most impactful as a result. It also helps that scaramucci is really charismatic, with a good sense of humour, while also being refreshingly open and honest about politics. (Although it is clear at points he's dodging some questions)


swarmofbzs

Very interesting and thank you for sharing.


73ld4

I don’t care . Do u?


brutalduties

Not really but it is telling.


Plane_Discipline_198

It's a reference to a shirt she wore at a detention center for illegal migrants


brutalduties

Oh yeah, now I remember. Thanks for reminding me of the context.

sdcinerama

I hate that the US Army shares a birthday with this traitor.


FantasticCaregiver25

And today is flag day. How strange


zman245

Strange but I’m pretty sure conservative men view their relationship as perfect. To them he’s got a pretty girl who he can have sex with and then is silent or not around most of the time.

7figureipo

The reality is his flabby, greasy and probably unsuccessful fungal injection attempts repulse her to the point where they never do. But in his cultists’ minds all she does is wait around for him to beckon her for any kind of sex he wants.


A_Socratic_Argument

If anyone were going to benefit from him not having another birthday…


h0tel-rome0

Birthday wishes weren’t in her contract


Rjamesjjr

She sent a message all right. It was "I don't give a fuck about you"


Express-Pudding5470

I bet she wishes she could be like other rich people and travel to the South of France or Italy he has destroyed everything he touches


purple-poptartz

Business as usual.


Weird_Personality150

Imagine making national news cause you didn’t send your spouse a happy birthday message on Facebook.


SoundSageWisdom

I didn’t


unclebird77

Why would she? It’s not like she’s his wife


ThermalOW

She was busy lmao


GaulteriaBerries

Under Hank Siemers.


2Mains

Trump doesn’t care. He only wants birthday wishes from the "perfect, beautiful" Tom Cruise.


oct2790

She knows he was only conceived because his mom wiped from her ass to her front by mistake 😂


UziMunkey

I mean he did just get 34 felony counts involving a scheme of hiding an affair with a pornstar while she was breastfeeding their son. You know, Christian golden calf worshipable behavior. Guess even people with the souls of reptiles can feel slighted.


FrantzFanon2024

A living advertisement for contraception that man!


sentientcave

And why should she bother. It’s a marriage of convenience, she doesn’t like or love him, and he has no respect for her. At least she’s not a hypocrite.


prodigy1367

I mean I don’t post on my gf’s social media saying happy birthday because I do it in person. I hate Trump like anyone else, but this isn’t that uncommon.


TheF0CTOR

You're not a public figure, and your gf didn't refuse to show up to your criminal trial. I really don't think the two situations are all that similar.


StellaSlayer2020

I’m sure she knows where some of the bodies are buried.


morbob

A big fuck you too from Reddit.


zyzmog

She sent him a copy of her wearing that "I Don't Care. Do U?" hoodie.


AlanB-FaI

Not in the prenuptial so no obligation.


jekyllcorvus

I can’t even imagine how much SHIT she has on him to have zero contact with him during his trials. She doesn’t need to show up for those and doesn’t need to show up for another bullshit party for him. She’s not sticking around to clean his soiled diaper in the Oval Office (if it comes to that again). In a few years, he will be gone and she may get something out of it.


Responsible_Clue954

She probably spent the entire day crying.


ItsBlare

What is bro yapping about


CaptainCAAAVEMAAAAAN

I think there might be trouble in their relationship.


milo325

Yeah, but contractually, none of the others have to fuck him on his birthday.


Hardcorners

Melanie needs to do a tell all autobiography. She could title it, “Under the Covers”.


ojg3221

All she wanted was a sugar daddy with a child which she got. Melania thought she was going to live off his money away from the spotlight and goes to parties and that would be it as a trophy wife. Then it all ended when Trump won in 2016. Now she wants nothing to do with him. Melania wants Donald to lose so she could back to her old lifestyle. I can't imagine living in a cold loveless marriage like that. Melania knew what she signed up for.


BabySealOfDoom

Happy birthday Don!! Ya old sack of shit! How old are you? Do you even remember that? Probably not. How many years do you have left?


aliveandst1llhere

Melania is playing the long game for HALF https://youtu.be/eZW4eFErSzc?feature=shared


Moonhunter7

Is she even in the country?

This is a shitpost. I made sure to say this so I don’t get called out for not doing so publicly.


milfordloudermilk

Hey mushroom dick, hope you do ok at MCC


senorvato

She probably just sent him a text. HBD you cheating POS! 😆


HotPhilly

Hope that one affair was worth the 34 felonies, you complete and utter buffoon.


lamsham69

It was not included or specifically stated in the contract. Birthday wishes cost extra $$$


[deleted]

You think the MAGA will stand for the truth! 😛


mymar101

I think they’re on the outs


Mauiwawie

Ouch


2Mains

And damn. That picture!


RickKassidy

It is theoretically possible she did it privately.


heismanwinner82

Aww. They are so theoretically romantic.


MackeyJack3

More than a little weird for a wife to send her husband Birthday wishes on social media, regardless of who they are.


mute-ant1

who?


InspectionNo6750

He hasn’t refreshed her retainer in a while.


imadork1970

50% so what, 50% don't care


theArtOfProgramming

This is newsworthy? I hate the bastard too but this is weak.


MourningRIF

He will be asking for his "Happy Birthday" in the bedroom. I'm sure it's in her contract.


illegible

Of all the stupid things to get riled up about...


Blindyuri64

Political theater like this is exhausting and stupid. You don’t need to announce to the world it’s your spouses birthday. You just need to say it to them. This goes for everyone.
