... 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!

It's a well-paid job with a great pension scheme.

MagicoRomantico · 08/11/2020 00:50

They've been together for over 20 years

kazzer2867 · 08/11/2020 00:51

Not an ounce of sympathy. She choose to marry that misogynist racist. Do you really think he's keeping her there by force?

hetanom · 08/11/2020 00:53

I really don't care. Do u?

Janegrey333 · 08/11/2020 00:55

I read today that she didn’t move into the White House until all traces of the Obamas were gone. She was keen to change the loos especially. Vile racist like Trumpy.

A lot of jealous women on her wishing they had the life of melania, but creepy joe is okay to you?

That's not what they're saying.

Do I wish to be married to trump, to have to stand on ceremony, to not be able to just fuck off where ever without security following me, to have to have surgery constantly to keep up with looking young enough, to have to dress up perfectly every day and never be able to just have a bit of a slob look day?

Na. I'm pretty content and not even remotely jealous.

I just have different priorities and values.

hetanom · 08/11/2020 01:44

If you don't like someone you must be jealous of them! Primary-school logic.

CatAndHisKit · 08/11/2020 02:03

I thought to myself earlier, poor Melania will have to listen with a stream of ranty misery and paranoia from Donald - I think he must be a nightmare when he fails / loses the status he's got accustomed to.

CatAndHisKit · 08/11/2020 02:03

*listen to

@MagicoRomantico

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.
Yeah says who? Trump the liar?

Jealous of what? It would rather suggest that she has something we want.

Now I can’t talk for every one, but

Politics is not a great job for family life work balance especially at that level, do I want to be married to any one in politics let alone a head of any state? no

Do I want my life scrutinised live in the public eye, my children’s school analysed, a security detail, not being able to wipe my own arse without a man with a gun standing outside the door no I really really don’t I can’t think of any thing worse

Do I want to be married to a six time bankrupt? no I’d worry, when the next scam failed and how I’d feed my child

am I an immigrant who thinks it’s ok to deprive others of the opportunities I got myself? no, I mean I am second generation or an immigrant family in the uk, but would I deprive any one else of that NO

Would I like to be married to a man who hasn’t paid his taxes in over TEN YEARS ? nope I’d worry when the IRS/HMRC would catch up with him

Would I like to married to a man who literally throws a toddler fit every time something doesn’t go his way? no, the delight of having a toddler is they stop having tantrums, he hasn’t!

do I want to be married to a serial sex offender who declares he just grabs women by the pussy and declares he’d fuck his own daughter? FUCK NO!

do I want to live be married to a over sized Cheeto with a dead cat on its head? and Ivan not stress this enough .....FUCK NO!

Am I jealous of her? NO! Do I feel sorry for her? Equally no she’s a racist narcissist woman well suited to her husband. Can’t wait to see them both being forcibly excited

HappenedForAReisling · 08/11/2020 03:10

Nope. She's not a stupid woman.

RizzleDrizzle · 08/11/2020 03:10

Yeah says who? Trump the liar?

Says her, says her actions, says her speeches, says the fact she’s as racist as him, says the fact she loves the attention. Says HER!

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 08/11/2020 03:17

I don't get why all this bitchiness has to accompany politics. Can't it just be about the politics itself? This is why America is in such a mess.

AlternativePerspective · 08/11/2020 03:32

A lot of jealous women on her wishing they had the life of melania, but creepy joe is okay to you? pmsl.

There’s a name for women who sleep with men for money. What was it again? Oh yes, hooker.

She married Trump knowing who he was. Not only did she marry him but she had a child with him, ergo, she shagged him.

I think that a lot of women believe she will divorce him now for one reason - because they themselves can’t imagine wanting to stay married to someone who is that repugnant. But actually, no woman with an ounce of self respect would have married him in the first place.

You couldn’t pay me to have a coffee with him let alone sleep with him .

She is as vile as he is. And either she loves him, or she’s just his prostitute. Either way, she’s nothing to be sorry for...

Tellmetruth4 · 08/11/2020 03:36

I think it’s patronising and misogynistic to automatically assume she’s a victim because she’s female. She knew who she married and fully backed and enabled him.

She’s 100% in on the grift. I suspect he’s hurriedly transferring assets into her name to keep them away from his creditors, the first being Deutschbank who are coming to collect their €400m in 2021.

Kissthepastrychef · 08/11/2020 03:39

Why do you assume that, because she is beautiful and well turned out, that she cannot be a racist, bigoted, white supremacist ? Or is that just to be associated with men with bulldog tattoos, angry rednecks ? Just because someone is beautiful does not make them nice but I do feel that we are making up a narrative on what Melania may think, based on a sexist trope that women are nice. Ergo she couldn't possibly agree with his politics of rage.
History is full of white supremacist, nazi, racist, obnoxious women. If you look at the attached photo, what do you see ? Do you see a loving, kind woman that you assume shares your values ? She's got a sling and everything, she is pretty, smiling and non-threatening. Would you assume she was promoting the “white baby challenge,” where “white people to have children to combat demographic decline.” The white supremacist movement has plenty of women in its ranks.

Just because Melania is dressed up in Gucci, just because she's beautiful, doesn't make her a victim, there's no reason to think she doesn't wholly share his views.

Kissthepastrychef · 08/11/2020 03:42

Bloody photo won't upload. She's in here

Topseyt · 08/11/2020 04:05

I can't say I do feel sorry for her. Trump's past wasn't exactly a secret well before she married him.

I have no idea what she sees in him though. That's something I just can't fathom at all.

There is nothing at all creepy about Joe. Trump is the creepy one!

And, I'd rather Joe than Draft Dodger Trump, ole bone spurs, child-rapist Trump and creepy grab-them-by-the-pussy Trump.

Shock Did she emigrate from The Help?
