The source I’m going to quote from here is a celebrity gossip site. That said, their reasoning as to why Melania Trump has been MIA for a few months now does make sense. Donald did something. And I was surprised he did it myself. And supposedly it pi$$ed Melania off. Do you recall when Trump posted a years-old photo of Barron on Truth Social and the caption said, “In an effort to level the playing field, Barron Trump will debate Joe Biden?”
I did a piece here, suggesting that Uncle Joe’s dog, Commander, should debate Trumpty Dumpty. In all events, this is purportedly what Melania is peeved about, that Trump “used Barron as a political pawn.” I agree with that. And other people at the time were saying the same thing, that they were amazed that Trump dragged his 17-year-old son in this mess — much less with a photo from when the lad was 13 or 14.
Cute kid. He was probably already as tall as Trump when this was taken. Now he’s purportedly 6’8″. In any event, without further ado, Here’s what Radar Online says:
The 53-year-old former first lady — who has been deeply protective of her only child — is said to be “seething with fury” over her hubby’s use of Barron as a political pawn.“Melania has been incredibly protective of Barron and has told Donald she would not stand for him to be exploited by anyone, even his father!” a source spilled.
“He made a promise to protect their son — and he broke it. There’s a good chance she won’t forgive him, and the next time we see them together may be in divorce court.”
Melania is already deeply shaken by the mounting criminal probes of her husband and considers his decision to trot out Barron a personal betrayal she can’t forgive, sources said.
“Despite Donald’s denials, Melania has already had to endure an indictment in New York that suggests he had an affair with a porn star while she was pregnant with Barron,” a source added. “Now, she’s livid after he’s broken his promise of keeping their son out of the spotlight.”
Timing wise, this tracks. The comment that upset Melania was made the end of July and that was after the classified documents indictment and before the January 6 indictment. My sense of this is that Melania would be off radar anyhow, because whatever Donald gets himself into is none of her concern and doesn’t interest her — and that includes running for president.
Plus, it’s clear that Barron is her top priority, not Donald. In any event, my prediction is that Melania is basically gone and unless something really amazing happens, she’s going to stay gone. A friend of mine in Manhattan told me years ago that the general feeling in New York is that Melania wasn’t banking on any of this and she’s not cut out for it. And that makes complete sense. Melania is as big a flop at First Lady as Donald is at presidenting. Except in Melania’s case, she didn’t seek the job, she just had the job thrust upon her, improbably and out of the blue.
So I think you can color Melania gone for quite some time. Unless, of course, Donald redoes the pre-nup and if there’s enough money, she’ll show up and say something on camera. I think we can all agree on that, Democrats and Republicans alike.
Once a girl for hire…always a girl for hire. She has made her money, so now maybe she can make better choices and have a decent life with her son.
She’s not that old and she’s got a lot of life ahead. That being the case, if she stands to make more money as Trump’s widow, then she should hang out. I can’t see him being around more than another five or six years if he doesn’t change his diet. People talk about Uncle Joe dying in office. He’s fit as a fiddle, Trump is morbidly obese and has all the stuff that goes with it, high blood pressure, etc. You get to his age, you have to take care of yourself or realize that the clock is ticking.
There may not be much left in Fat Donor’s coffers by the time he croaks. Most of his wealth is tied up in properties, and he less $450million to Russian Oliver HS and it comes due around ,2025. Under FL law, she I merits 1/3 of the estate,while 2/3 is to be divided among the 5 surviving children, so Barron’s share is 13%, so between them.they get 46% of the estate. That means the other 54% gets divided among the other 4. They will.either have to.buy her out of the company, likely selling off some of his crappy towers and hotels nobody except Saudis and Eastern European and Russian strongmen want to.buy or stay in. They will.sell.at a huge loss.
Unless the prenup.sucks, she might be better off taking what she can get in a divorce and take Barron and move back to.NYC or Europe the way the former Empress of Iran did. At least she won’t ever have to deal.with his kids again. She and I banks loathe each other,,and I doubt the sons and their wife and girlfriend like her.If I weren’t lawyer I would tell her to take the money and buy a nice apartment in Paris or Milan–somewhere not part of the former Soviet bloc for Barron’s safety ( even with Dadfy Lowbucks in jail, he is still.a target who could be used as a bargaining chip as a hostage.by some nutjob group or murdered and the then president would have to.get him back)and lunch with friends and buy designer clothes, maybe even remarry to.some man who will treat her better.
it will be immensely complicated and the laws of other jurisdictions (NY, NJ, Scotland, etc etc) will also apply.
And he lives such a low stress lifestyle.
Yes, Melania is smart. And she is going to hang just far enough to protect Baron who probably now rates a detail if he didn’t before. But she knows that the old dog still wants to look at that. And considering the health issues he must have, looking is probably all he gets these days. And I seen a picture of her recently. She definitely needs to milk this cow as long as she can because she ain’t been doing the upkeep on the old chassis.
Your “… Once a girl for hire…always a girl for hire…” These words of yours don’t stop until the boring room. Yes boring room as in bored, not board room.
A failure at President with a failure at First Lady.
The Republican First Couple.
His ego got him into the mess. What a phenomenon. The man proved to the world that 1) if you have a huge enough ego; 2) if you have consummate skills as a bullshit artist (even Lindsey Graham compared Trump to P.T. Barnum) and most importantly 3) if you are telegenic and have a presence on TV, you can get anything. At least with the GOP in the crippled state it’s in.
A confluence of factors happened first, in order to pave the way for one such as Trump.
Also, with a little help from his friend, Putin.
Barnum.was actually a,successful politician in Bridgeport Connecticut.
He may be telegenic to some but when I see or hear him, my gag reflexes kick in and I start spontaneously swearing like a drunken sailor.
She should have known what a sorry soulless ahole she lay down with, but the money & lifestyle was too much to turn down. One thing I can say, and he can take it to the bank…once a woman has made her mind up it’s over…it is over. He’s too self involved to realize it of course. He believes he can con everyone, including her. Not this time buckaroo.
I think there are only two possibilities here: 1) Melania and Trump never had that much going on anyhow. She’s hired for her ornamental value and as long as she gets paid, everything is fine or 2) She’s tired of being part of the laughingstock of the world and she wants to get away from it. So I don’t know if she’ll hang out because she’s not really “with” him anyhow. He’s in Bedminster now, she’s in Trump Tower — from what I read. And you know she’s not going to accompany him to Georgia. So maybe that’s how it is.
Your “… what a sorry soulless ahole she lay down with …” given her part in this act equated to that of a ‘starfish’ – legs akimbo!
It’s debatable if he has or will have the kind of money you are talking about when the courts get through with him. most of his liquid assets are in the PACs, from his grifting. The real estate is heavily leveraged, when he even owns it rather than renting his name
I was talking to a real estate developer about that the other day. He said that Trump may look good on paper, $2.5 billion, but if you go to each property and how, as you say, leveraged they are and bleeding money, it’s a whole other story. Still, I have heard Melania is worth $50 million of her own (I doubt that she made all that modeling, but whatever) and she’s got the jewels and all that. She’ll do okay, certainly. Maybe she and Barron should change their name and she could dye her hair and they could go to Europe and vanish.
The jewels likely didn’t come from Trump. He boasts that he never gives his wives expensive jewelry or art because as a gift, they keep.it after the divorce. He was too cheap.to even buy her flowers for her birthday.
What a guy!
I think this,was,a business arrangement for both. He has said you ate a,winner in the eyes of the world when you have a beautiful woman on your.arm. She was in her mid to.late 30s when they married and her modeling career was,approaching its end. He basically got a hostess he could occasionally had sex witj. She got a,sugar Daddy and a guaranteed mezl.ticket in Barton –and I suspect she actually loves her son and wants to.keep.him.as far away as possible from.the influence of the other 4 (Tiffany seems to be the smartest of the lot with a law degree and little to.do with her half brothers and sister; she appears to.prefer staying out of the public eye.like her mother).
Yeah that’s why she’s staying somewhere in the fringe. She’s waiting for either Trump to up the ante on the pre nup and or for the tub of lard to croak. There’s probably a rider that she gets a good payout for her and Baron if she’s somewhere close to the slob when he croaks. Can’t you imagine the tear filled eyes of her visiting him in prison. She’ll be wearing the two inch lenses on her dark sunglasses. 😎 Classic morning ritual. Driven up to the prison in a chauffeur driven limousine. When does the movie come out.
I am glad that she is so protective regarding her son. At least she seems to be a fairly good parent. I actually detest her otherwise. I think she is a slut who took a great deal of advantage of her position as the first lady. (I do not think of her with capital letters. She was not a good first lady and she destroyed the Rose Garden.)
