... 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!

She remarried a racist...
F her

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
I heard the opposite 🤷

I actually feel sorry for Ivanka. She seems like a decent human being and must be horribly embarrassed at how her father is behaving
You are joking, right? What is it about her that makes you think she's a decent human being because I've seen zero?

I bet Melania renegotiated the pre-nup before he ran and is in a mighty fine position now. She's shrewd, if nothing else.
They will be living apart the minute he's dragged kicking and screaming from the White House

I always thought it was Melania that pushed and badgered Donald to go for the Presidency - because she like riding in big helicopters. I think I read that somewhere.

davekim · 08/11/2020 05:09

No sympathy at all. She isn't an innocent. She knew what she was/is doing.

NeonGenesis · 08/11/2020 05:29

I don't feel sorry for any of the Trumps. I'm sure they are all fine.

user764329056 · 08/11/2020 05:36

She made her choice to marry and subsequently go the distance with the arsehole, why feel sorry for her?

@Shimy

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 do not read her in that way. At all. She had many roles in the administration, and she was not remotely qualified for most of them. She was there only because of her father. That means that qualified, smart, hard working women who might actually achieve something did not get those positions. All that hyperbolic pomposity that her dad has she has in spades. She will face many corruption charges in NY when this is over from their real estate dealings. Don't be fooled by the Insta page and the breathy voice.

I don’t feel sorry for any of them, they are all terrible people. I will save my sympathy for the people whose lives they ruined. I hope he goes to jail.

Nothing creepy about JB... Have you seen how he touches female children on camera and whispers into their ears?? I think the jury is out on that one!

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/11/2020 06:44

I read on another thread that Melanie didn’t join him in the White House immediately because she was renegotiating her financial position.

I feel sorry for families that through no fault of their own have lost jobs and can barely afford to pay rent and food on the table.

I feel sorry for the thousands of women in domestic violence situations feeling they can't get away because they have no money to survive on their own.

I do not feel sorry for Melania, a multimillionaire who made her choices in full knowledge of what she was getting. She will get divorce and live a life most of us dream about. There is nothing to feel sorry about her.

ShebaShimmyShake · 08/11/2020 06:51

I feel sorry for anyone who has to pretend to the world that they find Trump attractive. I know she chose the job but damn, that's harsh.

Dongdingdong · 08/11/2020 06:52

TBH, the fact that she clearly & with her eyes open, married him purely for money (and has admitted as much).

@InFlagranteDerelicto source, please?

rocketspin · 08/11/2020 06:52

She's very rich with many, many advantages. Zero sympathy from me, nobody forced her to marry him.

Was just about to say this! Joe Biden is creepy as fuck! I am still at a loss as to why these two are the best the USA has to offer in terms of political candidates. I'm glad Trump lost but not sure I'm happy Biden won!
Coffeepot72 · 08/11/2020 07:25

Unless any of you know Melania, then you’re just speculating?

GoodbyePorpoiseSpit · 08/11/2020 07:30

I’ve one word for Melania, Ivanka and the rest of Donald’s family and entourage : COMPLICIT

laidbacklife · 08/11/2020 07:30

Not sorry for her. Feel sorry for her little stretched out eyes tho. Far too much surgery!

As far as I could see she brought very little to the role of 1st lady and she came across as an unlikeable person. Glad to see the back of her, along with him.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 08/11/2020 07:47

She is a shitty person, yes but why do her looks have to be brought into it again and again?

Blerg...

MsTSwift · 08/11/2020 07:53

Heard an interview with her ex best friend. Don’t feel sorry for her!

Her aim is to do nothing while sitting on a yacht wearing a big hat. She is an ally of trump and is totally on board with him.

nosswith · 08/11/2020 07:56

I think the Imelda Marcos not Katherine Howard remark perhaps was nearer to how it is, though with fewer pairs of shoes.

The important thing is that in January her husband will be a former President.

luckylavender · 08/11/2020 08:27

I have zero sympathy for her. It's not as if she didn't know what she was marrying, she walked straight in.

TheTrashBagIsOursCmonTrashBag · 08/11/2020 08:30

I don’t feel sorry for her but I do think she’ll be out of there ASAP now.

MoonJelly · 08/11/2020 08:31

A lot of jealous women on her wishing they had the life of melania

Not in a million years. All the money in the world wouldn't persuade me to have to spend time with Trump, let alone to pretend to feel happy about it.

For all that she is obviously as racist as he is and has sold her soul for the money, there clearly is something very wrong with their relationship. She never looks remotely happy in his company and there are numerous shots of her avoiding his hands when they're out and about.

MoonJelly · 08/11/2020 08:33

Have you seen how he touches female children on camera

You don't think that could have anything to do with having lost his own daughter as a baby?
