There’s something creepy about being married to somebody in your parents’ generation. But what’s even creepier is that Melania, in her early 50’s, is reportedly past “check out time” for Donald Trump in the first place. In all events, Melania announced on Twitter/X late Tuesday night that her mother Amaljia Knavs had passed on. I don’t know how close Melania was to her mother, obviously, but if they were close at all, then I feel for her. Melania needs every ally she can get with the shitshow that is her husband escalating as the year gets rolling.
I’m trying to imagine being married to somebody in my parents’ generation, but that’s tough. They had me when they were in their early 40’s, so that’s a large expanse of time. At least in Melania’s case her parents are twenty-something years older than she is, which is perfectly normal. It still seems odd to be married to somebody that much older. But that said, I have personally known couples where there’s quite an age difference, but they were very happy together. I’m thinking of two couples in particular, where the age spread was 20 years and 23 years. In the case of the Trumps my belief has always been it’s a transactional relationship.
Trump has said nothing on social media at this moment. He’s too busy worrying about himself. My only thought is whether Melania will bother to accompany her husband on the campaign trail? If I had to take odds right now, I’d say I don’t think so. And I frankly don’t blame her. Even under the best of circumstances, who wants to be a part of this circus? And for somebody in mourning? Forget about it. In her shoes, I would take care of myself, the kid, and the hell with the crazy, self-destructive husband.
Naturally, the wisecracks are flying like squadrons of bats whether Trump’s going to bury his mother-in-law at the family cemetery, namely the Bedminster golf club. I would not be surprised. Seriously. I don’t think anybody would bat an eyelash. Not after all we’ve seen.
Of course not…why support her when her daughter won’t even hold my hand in public, and scowls behind my back in front of the world!
He doesn’t do final moments. I remember hearing tell of a time a family member died and he went to the movies.
He has narcissistic personality disorder. He has no genuine feeling for ANYONE. Not his wife, not his kids. They exist to make him look good. Barron was ‘melanias son’ (yes, he actually said that) until the kid got taller than him. Trump is so insecure that height is some sort of sign of virility and Barrons virility is HIS virility. And he very much IS transactional. If he gives you something he expects something in return. If you don’t comply, he’ll bear a grudge until the day he dies. Hisemotiinal growth stopped in early childhood, he’s, in a sense, an 8 year old trying to cope with feelings for which he has ZERO tools. If he’s criticized, he retorts with name calling. Everything he does is the response an 8 year old would have. Combine that with his inability to connect or care about ANYTHING but himself..
Family de-values.
In a way, he’s already spoken about his mother-in-law. After all, she was poisoning the blood of America! Amirite?!
Given how completely stupid dfg is, I would be shocked if he was even aware of her existence. Equally stupid is expecting such a depraved narcissist to acknowledge anyone other than himself.
Awwww……now tramp can’t deport her?
All of DON THE CON’S relationships are transactional… even with his own kids. Why would he show any feeling over his mother-in-law dying. I don’t remember his saying anything about any of the recent deaths in his family…. his brother died in his final year in the WH. Then his ex-wife Ivana, the mother of his 3 oldest children & recently his sister who helped him get through school by doing his homework for him.
It would have been interesting seeing an interview of her parents. Even though the donald thinks so, Melania’s no prize. While FOX was all over the Merry Xmas fiasco, Melania made it clear what she wanted to do with that holiday: blood red trees all over the place.
Her parents raised Melania so, I don’t care about any of them, do you? Does she have any friends? Has anyone ever seen any of them? I think they deserve each other and the parents they got.
I still don’t care, do you?
It isn’t’as if he and Melanoma actually love each other. It is completely transactional, and she admits it When asked if she would have married Donnie if he weren’t rich , she replied,,”Do you think he would have married me if I didn’t look like this?”
it his a business arrangement. She might consider dumping him while he can still.afford to pay her off, because he may have to liquidate a fair amount of net worth in properties if AG James gets the amount she wants, and ditto for Carroll.
The reason for his silence is simple: he’s trying t work out how he can con the sheeple into subscribing loads of cash to a ‘memorial fund’ (aka – a Don John handy cash for quick geteway)
he did in fact mention it, as part of another request to delay part of his trial. he got shot down again.
