Will Melania divorce Donald's sorry orange arse?

Will the cat-eyed she-woman divorce the giant orange man baby? The way she bats his hand away whenever he tries to hold hers. The hideous sordid predatorial behaviour splashed all over the news. The cavorting with Jeffrey Epstein. The way he dances like his shoes are glued to the floor.

If I was her I'd be searching the yellow pages for a lawyer.

Hold on he hasn’t lost yet has he. Confused. Don’t get too ahead of the game.

I thought it was common knowledge that they had an arrangement that the marriage would end when his presidency ended?

There is a show on TV at the moment with Angela Scanlon looking back at the noughties, and they showed a Ruby Wax show from 2000 where she met the Trumps, and Melania was in it and she was totally different, had an actual personality and was quite funny!

BananaPop2020 · 06/11/2020 19:18

I am not sure she is as much the victim as people are suggesting, she is one smart cookie.

Calligraphy572 · 06/11/2020 19:18

Why does everyone treat her as an unwilling participant in his vile presidency? She married him, she has supported him and his administration, she could have left at any point. She is not a hostage; she is exactly where she chooses to be.

BananaPop2020 · 06/11/2020 19:20

@Calligraphy572 absolutely, she has agency and I don’t know why people insist she doesn’t.

IcedPurple · 06/11/2020 19:21

I think so.

Rumour has it that they've long led separate lives and that they would have divorced years ago had it not been for his political ambitions. And yes, I know, you shouldn't just believe rumours but it's clear from her body language that she can barely stand to be around him, let alone hold hands with him. She signed up for an anonymous life of expensive clothes, luxury homes and private jets in New York, not attending dull First Lady events with major press intrusion in her life.

Not that I feel sorry for her. She seems cold and soulless.

StormcloakNord · 06/11/2020 19:22

Good for her if she does!

He is still rich though so she might stick around....

Georgyporky · 06/11/2020 19:22

I'm feeling queasy at the thought of shagging him - worse than that ugly wotsit Nigella married.

BoomBoomsCousin · 06/11/2020 19:22

I’m not sure why she would leave now when she stayed for the presidency. The last four years were probably a lot more stressful and full of unpleasantness than the next four promise to be. There must be a lot of stuff about being married to Trump that she actually wants.

Trump, on the other hand, will have a massive need to feed his ego and a new, younger wife might be one of the ways he tries to do that.

Snowpatrolling · 06/11/2020 19:24

Wonder if there’s a pre nup and she can’t. Cos I would have thought she would have left him a long time ago!!!

Money. More money. And in addition to that, there's the money.

Yes, I'm pretty sure she made a very rationale life choice. She's hardly a lost little girl.

@Greenbks

Trump is vile, but my god to speculate if someone’s marriage will end in a divorce is.. well just awful.

And now go ahead and slam me too 😊

Not as awful as separating kids from their parents. Not as awful as saying whore supremacists are very fine people. She married that. For his knows what reason. She's as bad s he is.
Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/11/2020 19:25

I’m with @THisbackwithavengeance. I don’t like her. I don’t imagine she’s particularly in love with me either, though so no love lostGrin.
At least Old Trumpy love him or loathe him has character and spirit. She’s like a bloody egg box.

UnholyStramash · 06/11/2020 19:27

Possibly. It’s certainly one remote relationship I cannot understand. By remote I mean people I don’t actually know or care much about. Something must have attracted her in the first place. I might be wide of the mark here Hmm but I’m guessing it was something like money or access to a green card that was the main attraction and not the sentient orange’s personality. Sentient orange was how my son’s pal referred to the big balloon on twitter and I’m happy to have been able to use it here. Grin

wigglerose · 06/11/2020 19:27

Hard to say. Either she'll quietly divorce him in 6-10 months or after their kid finishes college or they live separate lives until he pops his clogs.

derxa · 06/11/2020 19:28

@AwaAnBileYerHeid

Nasty.....
It is nasty. Just par for the course on Trump threads though. Soon he and she will be out of the White House. I couldn't care less what happens to either of them.
ginghamstarfish · 06/11/2020 19:30

She's no victim, as with many such marriages it's a contract - her youth and beauty in return for his money/power, as much as that makes us normal people heave at the thought. I should imagine there is a watertight contract that she has to stay until their son is 18 or something like that (or perhaps until HE wants to divorce HER).

VinylDetective · 06/11/2020 19:30

@THisbackwithavengeance

I think she is as repulsive as Trump. Hard faced gold digger and devoid of personality.
Completely agree. I’ll be so happy when they’re both history.
ListeningQuietly · 06/11/2020 19:32

She has been in Florida all week

whitianga · 06/11/2020 19:33

Feels like she did absolutely nothing in her role as First Lady (other than ruin the rise garden) whereas Michelle Obama was always in the media doing this that and the other. That said I've purposely avoided American politics since Trump has been president as it's all so embarrassing

thetrees · 06/11/2020 19:34

Can't imagine they'll bother to divorce, surely they'll just live separately?

I have absolutely no sympathy for her whatsoever, she can't have anticipated the presidency but she made her choice to marry him.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 06/11/2020 19:34

That dress though. That is a masterpiece of tailoring.

I forgive her, and all the Melanias, everything. I can barely fit a zip or make a net buttonhole, so I am grateful for the inspiration of the awesomeness of that frock.

I'm sure I read somewhere (here?) that she re-re-negotiated her pre-nup when Trump announced he was standing for a second term.

If she's off, she needs to be quick before his debtors bankrupt him when he no longer has Presidential immunity.

midsomermurderess · 06/11/2020 19:35

If you choose to marry Trump, I doubt happiness is top of your priorities.
