... 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!

As pp said, they have been married for a long time. She could have divorced him for a tidy settlement a long time ago so I'm sure she has both eyes open here. She chose this life and continues to choose it - I don't feel sorry for her.

I’m with @Joswis 👍🏻

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?

Would that excuse be accepted if anybody else was touching children in such a way.

It is possible she actually likes him you know. It is possible she married him and had a son with him because that's what lots of people do, maybe she saw him as a good, safe bet. It's sexist and snobbish to just dismiss her as a gold digger or a victim. She doesn't have to be either. Melania grew up in a communist country maybe when she got to the US, Trump was her idea of the American man. You know nothing about her decisions! Look at the women who have queued up to be with Boris Johnson.

Lowkeevslucille · 08/11/2020 10:04

Why is she a poor woman? She chose to marry him and have a child with him.

if anyone was replying to her poster complaining about her husband on here, they would get abused and MN would delete the reply.

Why is Melania to be treated differently? Because you are jealous she is beautiful, has an amazing figure and has behaved impeccably? And is rich on top of it all? Bitterness hey...

dayswithaY · 08/11/2020 10:08

Biden is creepy as hell by the way. Watch the videos on YouTube of him smelling women's hair and whispering into little girls' ears. Don't be fooled by the twinkly eyed old man routine. He'll show his true colours soon enough.

fishonabicycle · 08/11/2020 10:11

The whole family are totally vile, soulless greedy twats.

aramo · 08/11/2020 10:12

@hetanom

If you don't like someone you must be jealous of them! Primary-school logic.
Yes just like the bitchy, catty comments on her about a woman none of us know personally!! Judging her on what you see and read in the media. Also let’s be honest most in the UK watch SKY news (owned by Comcast ie Democrat) if you happen to try and look outside that media bubble and take a wide view you see an entirely different narrative. That’s not primary school that’s being educated and reading wide, then making your own opinion.

At last somebody with their eyes open wide on her.

I have no idea. He does have a daughter with his second wife. I don’t think his being over affectionate with girls can be used as an excuse. I’ve watched videos. The girls look extremely uncomfortable.
Doobiedooo · 08/11/2020 10:23

@aramo what peculiar logic! How else does one judge anyone in the public eye (re basing things on what you see in the media). I expect most people on here actually read a range of reporting. So don’t pull trump’s weird fake news crap! Of course newspapers (or tv channels) have their own biases in a democracy, but there are many perspectives available. Including yours.

Let’s be honest as most on this thread won’t, most people in the UK get their news from SKY, BBC and perhaps the odd American channel such as CNN, as you will be aware there is a whole host of reputable channels that are not fed into the UK media system. The fact that you said fake news says everything which way you lean to. My whole basis on this thread has been that while women are slagging Melania off based on who she is married to are they aware of the actual, real, him in person videos of joe Biden sniffing children but I suppose that is what they would call fake news.

ineedsun · 08/11/2020 10:36

A) what's a birther?
B) having watched some of the videos shared of Joe Biden to make the case that he's creepy, I'd have to agree that the girls look uncomfortable but having watched other videos of him with lads and his son, it seems that he's very physically affectionate. Doesn't make it right if anyone doesn't want that but I don't think it makes him 'creepy', that feels like a trump sound bite.

bellinisurge · 08/11/2020 10:38

A birther is a twat that claims Obama was not born in the US and therefore not eligible to be President. Trump AND Melania strung out that poisonous lie for ages. In fact, it's how Trump's political career started. It was a BIG deal in the US
Maybe read a bit or watch TV. Or just google before showing your ignorance.

Fallsballs · 08/11/2020 10:39

This thread has turned a bit dark - we went from guessing if Melania would get shot of the orange one to paedo accusations 😮

Why so salty? Are you having a bad day?
Cam2020 · 08/11/2020 10:43

Imagine if it were Trump who went around sniffing female's - both child and adult's - hair?!

I understand people being excited to get Trump out, but I just can't get excited about Joe Biden. What an absolutely shite choice Americans were faced with!

You’re a lovely person for a Sunday morning stroll!!!! No answer to the part b of the posters comment
MoonJelly · 08/11/2020 10:46

Oh, right Because of course that absolutely makes up for the violent death of a baby daughter.

Fallsballs · 08/11/2020 10:46

I thought Trump has a pending rape case to be heard and fuck knows what else given he was a mate of Epstein.

Huelva94 · 08/11/2020 10:48

She was not inocent and naive when she married him... She is no different to her husband... She has not been in the spot light too often but when she has been... No different... Starting with regurgitating 2 of Mrs. Obama's speeches... She's not different from her husband...

Doobiedooo · 08/11/2020 10:51

@aramo. Actually, you don’t know what “most people on here” get their news from, any more than I do. But you are coming across very badly. It’s catty and bitchy (according to you) to say anything against Mel. But you are quite happy to assert that Joe is a child abuser, based on... what you have seen in your biased media. Can you see how illogical your arguments are?

Fallsballs · 08/11/2020 10:57

I think the trump supporters will be saturating the interweb for a long time with their bile and bitterness, considering they have have supported such a turd, it would be naive to expect anything else.

Haha true. I read somewhere that those scam phishing emails are often purposefully odd (badly written, obviously fake) since the idea is, if you believe them, you’ll be thick enough to fall for them. And kerching to the scammers. Similar here.

I did say most in the UK and named the actual channels with the highest viewing figures, coming across badly yes maybe to people who do not like Trump. Child abuser? Creepy joe I called him and asking have people saw the actual videos that is not biased they are out there if you do take a wide view of the media. The whole point is women on this thread have called her a twat, bitch, whore, prostitute, gold digger and I asked well are they ok with joe as I don’t see Jill Biden getting any insults
