It looks like Melania has decided to forego another run at modifying the pre-nup to her advantage. If this report is accurate, she’s not interested in hubby’s “political ambitions” or in returning to the White House. Great, Mel. We’re not interested in having you return to the White House, either. Nice to know we’re all of one mind here.
As ex-President Trump weighs another presidential run in 2024, at least one person close to him isn't on board: Melania. CNN's @KateBennett_DC shares her exclusive reporting with @kaitlancollins. #InsidePoliticsSunday pic.twitter.com/sBpyA37veM

What I find interesting about this clip and have always found interesting about this couple, supposedly they are close, they “consult” every day with one another, yet they’re not even remotely on the same page as to major things in their lives together, such as agreeing on a presidential run. You have to admit, that’s a bit different from having different ideas about the wallpaper, or where to go on vacation. Being POTUS is a pretty major deal, at least it would be to me, if I was married to somebody who wanted to do that. It’s a bit beyond my conception to imagine a couple where he wants to be POTUS and she says, “Nah. Not for me. You go do it but I’m not interested.” And yet they have a great marriage? C’mon. She’s along for the ride and is as out of her depth at the level of politics as he is. That’s what’s really going on.
I actually give Melania some credit for realizing she’s out of her depth and not wanting to continue to make a fool out of herself with a return engagement.
I also found it amusing that this commentator spoke of how Melania has “lowered the platform” of former First Lady. HA! She never was a First Lady. She got dragged into the situation. This was Donald’s show in 2016. She didn’t want to be bothered. And then, for the first time in history, she stayed behind and didn’t even move into the White House for several months, ostensibly because of her son. And maybe it was because of him and his schooling, but one would think that this issue would have been contemplated beforehand and decided on. No, the 2016 election was a farce. Melania never thought Trump would win, either, and she certainly didn’t rise to the occasion when it happened.
I love it when the “independent lives” of the Trumps are touted, as though that’s actually something admirable. “Independent” is a euphemism for not even remotely rowing the same direction. She’s an ornament and she comes with a price tag. He pays the price. If he didn’t have the money and she didn’t have the looks, they wouldn’t be having coffee together, much less be married. That’s a known fact. Melania admitted that herself on television many years ago when some talk show host asked her about Trump’s money and she replied, “If I didn’t look like this, would he want to be with me?” No, he would not.
It’s a sales transaction, plain and simple, not a marriage. And certainly not the marriage of true minds, as the Bard spoke of. And that’s fine. Trump is too shallow to make a go of it with anybody on any deep level. I’m not even sure he knows that deep levels of communication exist between people. I daresay not.
As to his spouse, I think she’s a very basic peasant type. She just wanted to get out of Slovenia and find a guy with money and she did. I actually give her credit for not wanting a return engagement in Washington to fake like she’s the least bit interested in the White House or its history or being a First Lady. Hey, we get it Mel. It was an intrusion and a real drag. If you thought it was a drag for you, you don’t know how much of a drag it was for us to have you up there faking it, strolling through the halls with the blood red trees or wearing a pith helmet in Egypt, like you were some colonial swell of another age, or showing up at Buckingham Palace wearing your hat inside and presenting yourself to the Queen barelegged, like a Piccadilly tart. You had protocol people to teach you about these things, but you really didn’t care, did you? You did it your way.
We don’t want to go through another four years of cringing embarrassment. Thank you for sparing us, although we know full well that this isn’t about us, it’s about you and you only. That much you and Donald have in common, self-centeredness to a pathological degree.
And definitely thank you for sparing us the continuation of #BeBest or any of that farce. We know what you’re really made of. The pea coat said it all. Whether that was a Freudian slip or a passive aggressive display, and I suspect the latter, at least you showed your true colors and we do appreciate that. Thank you for keeping it real.
You’re spot-on when you say she was NEVER First Lady.
She has always been a bought and paid for trophy wife. Lots of rich guys have them, and trade them in for a younger one after a while. Had he not decided to make his Presidential run “Melanie” would have been traded in for the next gal in 2013-14. But like her Trump didn’t think he’ actually win and he saw the value to his bottom line in running so he kept her on the payroll. She’d have been moved out into her own condo in NYC before Hillary was sworn in had things happened the way they should have in 2016.
Reports she cried her eyes out on election night are I’m sure accurate. She made her deal – a nice prenup would have already been collected on and she’d have been living her fairly anonymous well-off life as an EX trophy wife in NYC long before election night if things had gone the way they were supposed to. And Trump himself? You think HE is happy he’s still got her on the payroll? You just KNOW he got tired of her long ago and wanted a new chick to wear on his arm and get to fuck however many times a year was allowed in the prenup! And of course produce ONE kid to prove he was still able to do so – got to keep up appearances.
In some cases, at least for a while there can be some actual affection between rich guys and their trophy wives. I doubt that was ever the case with these two. Trump was savvy enough to know Melania was looking for rich husband and a nice prenup and wouldn’t give him the time of day if he hadn’t been rich. And she knew if she hadn’t been attractive in the way he likes (and willing to get cosmetic surgery he wanted her to get) he’d have never given her the time of day either. You can dress it up all you want but like most of these rich guy/trophy wife marriages it’s a straight up money for sex with some playing of “arm candy” on the social scene type of deal.
I frankly don’t give a fuck about that. If (truly) consenting adults want to have a strict pay for sex deal (IOW the woman has actual choices and isn’t being coerced into things) then so what? Lots of us have done jobs for money we wouldn’t have otherwise done, or done for as long as we did if a steady and good paycheck hadn’t been part of the deal. But in the case of rich guys and trophy wives and this couple in particular since we had to see them occupy OUR White House let’s at least be honest about the fact that we had a President who had a paid sex worker playing (and not doing anything close to a good job at it) First Lady.
Couldn’t he at least have gotten himself a truly high class courtesan?
He has no class and wouldn’t recognize it, if it bit him in the face. It’s all about appearances with him.
” bring me moose & squirrel”.
HAHAHAHA!!! Rocky and Bulwinkle! Boris and Natasha! That’s great!
She a ringer for Natasha. Frump reminds me more of the gross,very fat, Scottish wrestler that was in an Austin powers movie.
