I hope Melania is ok

[pandafunfactory]

Poor woman. She had that kidney thing and corona can affect patients like that badly. She's the wrong side of 40 too. Plus of course she's stuck in quarantine with somebody who shows little regard for her wellbeing. I think her parents are very close too, hope they haven't caught it.
Basically this is going to be rough, thoughts are with her!

I think we should be concerned about the scientific craziness that he's going to say when he recovers. It'll be something like doctors haven't seen so many antibodies in one person, his t-cells are superior to anything medical science has seen...

I hope Barron is ok

#prayformelania

I hope she recovers, but only to the same level as the millions of other people I don't know who have covid. Presuming there is no corruption nor spying, I've never understood why a President/ PM's partner should be of any more interest than for leaders in any other industry.

I'm just amazed they actually get close enough to pass it to each other...
According to POTUS, his wife spends a lot of time in the presence/company of Hope Hicks, as does he, so it may be she contracted the virus from his counsellor.

I don’t think she needs much sympathy

Wrong side of 40? I didn't know there was a 'right' and a 'wrong' side. God, Mumsnet makes me feel ancient some days.

Are you taking the piss?

My in-laws live in Brooklyn and 30 metres from their door is a funeral parlour that was overflowing with bodies, so much so that they were piling them up in trucks. They could smell the decomposing bodies from their home.

I feel sorry for Barron having to be raised in this mess.

I've always felt a little sorry for Melania. Here she was, thinking she was signing up to be simply the trophy wife of some billionaire she could presumably eventually divorce, and then she ends up the first lady of the United States. It's nuts. I bet she never wanted this life or could have seen it coming in her wildest dreams. I find it a little bit comical and feel some empathy for her.
I'm not sorry for her. This is a direct quote from a video aired today, where Melania Trump talks about the kids separated from their parents at the US border and kept in cages:

"They said, 'Oh, what about the children that were separated?' Give me a fucking break."

She knows who she married. She's just as narcissistic and lacking as he is.

This is hardly the full context is it? She was complaining that Obama had the same policy and it was never reported. I think this is what they call ‘fake news’ that you’ve had a go at here.

As a fellow mother, I wish her well

Oh please! What solidarity has MT shown with those mothers separated from their children by her husband's policies?

@notevenat20

Nether her nor DT are ill at all apparently. I am no medical expert but if you test positive with no symptoms, are you likely to get ill after that?

No idea. But they were being testing every day so it would have been picked up at the earliest opportunity.

I feel sorry for her having to quarantine with him and not being able to see anyone else. Who’d want to be stuck with only him for company?!

I think I’d believe this story more if she didnt have the virus, it’s all a little too convenient (and I’m not normally one for conspiracy theories!)

I'm sure the WH is big enough that she doesn't have to see him during Quarantine

MrsPerrywinkle Sure sure. Fake news. I'm sure she's really the bastion of empathy. I really don't care do you?

She's the wrong side of 40 too

She's 50, fyi.

Which bits? Meowwwwwwwww😸

No idea. But they were being testing every day so it would have been picked up at the earliest opportunity
It was reported that he was tested multiple times per day. POTUS said he is tested every 2 or 3 days.

He's gone to hospital now though. Probably entirely precautionary. So she gets her space.

She made a pact with the devil. Her choice. Yuck. Imagine sleeping with that man.

Ewww, I'd rather not! 🤮

Yuck. Imagine sleeping with that man.

At the risk of upsetting half my friends (sorry) I have always thought the same when they were shagging a 40 year old when they were 20 (cough, or younger). Each to their own, I suppose.

So weird people on those threads identifying with either of the Trumps (or other celebrities) as though they were their personal mates, talking to others of their personal mates.

They don't care about you. Why would you think otherwise.

Oh OP, Melania would not give a damn if it was you who was sick.

She's made her bed, I don't wish suffering on anyone but it doesn't trouble me that she and trump are tasting their own medicine

@Wilkolampshade

No. In the woman's own words, "I really don't care, do you? "

Quite

I hope both she and her husband have a speedy recovery.
