To feel sorry for Melania...

[LoganRoy]

... having to look sad in front of Donald and hide her champagne party for one when inside she’s thinking PRAISE THE LORD! I can get out of here!

What makes you so sure she is happy he lost? I heard she's quite instrumental in his campaigns. She's the first person he phones after a speech or rally because he values her feedback.

Yep. She will have already called her lawyers shouting “get me out of here!”

Poor woman.

She always looks like she would rather run her arse with a brick than be the First Lady. That’s why they wheel out Ivanka.

Why is she a poor woman? She chose to marry him and have a child with him. She’s incredibly rich and whatever happens it doesn’t really make a difference does it? Why do people keep treating her like she’s some sort of chattel? If she was on mumsnet everyone would be telling her to suck it up if she didn’t like her husband because she’s got money what did she expect or just leave and give her head a wobble. She’s not some sort of inanimate object. I’m sure as a grown woman she can make decisions of her own and has done.

She chose to marry him and stay with him. She has benefited from him being president. Absolutely no sympathy for her or any of them.

Nope. She sold herself to the richest man she could find, became a US citizen and brought her parents into the US.

She's the ultimate SAHM without the housework, childcare. Bet she doesn't even shag him anymore.

I think she's happy with the outcome of her game plan.

She's the first person he phones after a speech or rally because he values her feedback.

That’s interesting! They look like they never speak.

She is as bad as he is. No sympathy.

Her contract is about to run out, although maybe she has to wait until January.
She's done her job and has been paid well.

She knows exactly who she married before he became president, I don't think that will change tbh. She sounded very much team trump in the leaked phone calls, or at least supportive of his actions and ideas.

She agreed to marry an older richer infatuated golf buff, who would facilitate her nice NYC lunches and charity work. NOT all the bullshit that goes with Washington, in fact if you recall, she even stalled moving to Washington because it didn’t fit with the kid’s school. She fucking hates it all. She was rich and famous before, she doesn’t need the hassle. Added to that, it’s caused her to have to be around the orange wotsit a lot more than she might have been, and because he’s under the microscope, he can’t get away with his little “squeezes” like he did before, which leaves her owing the contractually obliged handjobs at the very least.

No. She's a birther who is as racist and vile as he is.

The Melania tapes revealed her to be a disgusting bigot with zero sympathy for children separated from their parents in internment camps.

There is nothing remotely redeemable about her.

I understand that parents love their kids, and kids love their parents, sometimes no matter what.

But to marry and stay married to someone so morally repugnant, takes a certain kind of moral repugnance.

Didnt he run for presidency in 2000? She must have known his goals.

Ok I should have put lighthearted in the title... I thought it was obvious from the post

It's more likely about the accent...

I don't feel sorry for her, no.

Well not run successfully obviously.

I used to feel sorry for her, but I've seen a lot of things recently that indicate she's as bad. The "I don't care, do you" jacket, moaning about the chore of having to decorate for Christmas, the fact that she's his first call after a big speech. TBH, the fact that she clearly & with her eyes open, married him purely for money (and has admitted as much). She may be in a shit marriage, but she apparently chose him as much as he chose her. It's not like she was powerless; I'd compare her more to Imelda Marcos than Katherine Howard.

I feel sorry for her because her husband is an embarrassment! Eek.

I do think he will have to be dragged out of there, kicking and screaming. Then a van will turn up to collect his sun beds.

She will ditch him when the banks call in their debt...

I actually feel sorry for Ivanka. She seems like a decent human being and must be horribly embarrassed at how her father is behaving. I’m imagining her begging her dad, to pickup the phone to congratulate Biden and drop all the lawsuits and get off Twitter!

I don’t feel sorry for her at all. She could have walked away at any point a very rich woman, but for some unfathomable reason she chooses to stay. I suspect when the cameras aren’t rolling they live very separate lives. There must be something in it for her, God knows what. He’s physically repulsive and has a repulsive personality to match.

Poor woman my arse. She knew what she married.
