We'll need the MN army to check if they are actually separated or still sleeping in the same house for 6/7 days.

I do wonder, though, if this is a case of let's divorce just to save the assets, or let's make the separation official because there's no point now and at least someone will keep their assets. (not that it matters for any of us)

Which leads me to wonder when will Melania file for divorce. Grin

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/03/2018 11:38

In fairness, it's likely that it was initiated at the same time and it's only public now, in the same way as the subpoenas! It's just that to be scruplelessly accurate, the subpoenas weren't issued yesterday,

Could Melania take Trump to the cleaners?

One can live in hope ...

TheNorthWestPawsage · 16/03/2018 11:45

I would think there would be a water-tight pre-nup. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with Trump Jr.
Daddy probably had to give his blessing and add financial strings for first born son to marry.

I meant it as in: then you know he knows he's in trouble.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/03/2018 12:36

Honestly, I think if Melania was going to file for divorce she'd have done it by now. She probably looks at his age, disposition, eating habits, health, and her lifestyle and thinks "I can wait". I think she doesn't know the old saying about rich, nasty old people living forever.

(I'm old, but not nasty and certainly not rich. I intend to live forever, too)

Lweji · 16/03/2018 12:38

Yes, but, hopefully, at some point, it may be his idea (protect assets).

If he has any assets. Do we know the extent of his debts?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 16/03/2018 13:24

Vast. That's the degree of precision I can offer Grin

Real estate developer Felix Sater tells @ChrisCuomo he previously went to Russia to advance business interests at the same time as Trump’s kids, contradicting Trump team explanations. “The president asked me to be in Russia at the same time as them to look after them.”
Trump Organization general counsel Alan Garten said it was just a coincidence that all were there at the same time.

I have a mental image of one of those wallets where moths fly out when it’s opened. Half of me wonders if he’s grifting as hard as he is because he has no fortune to fall back on.

President Donald Trump drops more than 200 spots on the Forbes Billionaires list

abcnews.go.com/US/president-donald-trump-drops-200-spots-forbes-billionaires/story?id=53551760

But who really knows? No tax returns, no idea of debts and it's highly likely (in my opinion) that he's tried up in Manafort-esque financing deals

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer said that she was “threatened physically.”

Is this a game changer?

@jmpalmieri: “You can get into criminal charges at that point, and that is something that is uncharted territory for a sitting president of the United States.”
