I remember seeing a show about her and her saying that she has her own wealth. She doesn't need DTs. Ahh, you're probably right. She probably invested her modeling money. SaveSave

Will he even make the trip to Davos? The Swiss have been protesting his attendance for 2-3 weeks. I read today and the Swiss newspaper that there will be no protest in Davos because there is a lot of snow right now and a danger of avalanche so it’s not safe for the protesters ! you got to love the Swiss but there are manifestation in other locations in Switzerland 🇨🇭

She has not been a real presence at state functions during this past year. We see her pop up here and there, but most of the time she is invisible. His trip was on, then off, and apparently back on again. If she reads the news, she knows the Swiss are demonstrating against him. Why would she eagerly pop over to Davos to be in the middle of that? If she had made a habit of always being at functions--then there might be a story. (Perhaps she wants to stay home and do her hair. LOL) She totally flaked on her “anti bullying campaign” (not surprising).

What in the world did any woman ever see in him? $$$$$$ But being serious for a moment, he probably can turn on the charm when he wants to, I'll bet he's all full of flattery and praise when he's first attracted to a woman and probably treats her well at the start. Then once he's got what he wants, that's when he starts to act like a petulant child and starts with the insults, name calling and other signs of disrespect. And you know women, we always think we'll be able to change a man for the better....

I don't think you can settle child custody with a pre-nup. That's something to be decided by a judge in real time as needed. And no judge on this planet, not even one bought and paid for by Donald Trump, would give him custody of a 12yo who wanted to stay with his loving, attentive mother who has done the actual child-rearing. Trump may have her on $$$, but he hasn't got her on custody of Barron, not by a long shot. Can't be too sure of that when dealing with dt. He Could make the judge disappear....... I do not say that lightly. Look at how many are being bamboozled and becoming submissive to him at great cost to us/USA! Great cost to their own integrity too!

The two men in these videos are as polar opposites of each other as anyone could find. The first is a gentleman and the second, an ignorant specimen of a human being.

I think Melania is a hostage. She is fighting back quietly. Every single time she is any where near him you can see the hate in every fiber of her body. Im sure she is wrapped up in an air-tight pre-nup that would cause her to lose the only thing important (ok, the money is up there pretty far too) to her, her son. Trump is a vile human being. He humiliates her daily. I totally agree.

He humiliates her daily. She is useful to him so he can dismiss the claims of other women that he harassed them = "look at her - why would I harass HER when I've got Melania at home? Melania's a supermodel, but that woman is old and frumpy!" And now it turns out that he's paying porn stars to give him pity sex and watch shark documentaries with him? Yeah, not a great thing to have everyone know about. I get that she had just had a baby and maybe wasn't up to some fun in the sheets...but you know what? That's what decent husbands and fathers do, they figure out how to make it for a little while without the services of their wives.

and watch shark documentaries with him? About that shark thing...maybe he DOES need to come and visit us in Australia and we can point him in the direction of some excellent "swimming" (i.e shark infested) beaches. that could work out well for everyone, sharks included, and we've got a pretty good track record of this sort of thing, we've already had one Prime Minister vanish while swimming never to be heard from again...couldn't be that hard to organise a second one.

Melania would be a different woman if she was cared for by a man with the respect and gentility of Obama.

I just want to say that all of the peas present so many great, valid points in this thread, (as well as the many other trump threads). it's always interesting to have intelligent discussion.

I Know y’all don’t like George Bush but you have to admit he was a well mannered & kind person who appears to care for his wife. And care about humanity in general. Who knew those were qualities we’d miss in a President.

Take him over the idiot you have now any day. I love Barack and Michelle. They clearly, truly love and respect each other. He adores her and it shows! ❤️❤️❤️

Marla walked away with little money, I'm sure Melania is set up the same way. After being accustomed to living a certain way for 13+5 years I imagine it would be hard to walk away poor. When he was running for office one night I was bored and scrolled through her insta and her life was boring, she only goes from NYC to FL. I didn't see pics of hanging out with regular girlfriends. I thought for sure she would have lavish European summer trips, but no. So I would think now she would never pass up an opportunity to go to Europe (her home) when given the opportunity. I assume that she now gets some pleasure out of her first lady role, she gets to go places where everyone is happy to see her and she's all smiles from the pics and gets to be featured in magazines for her fashion. So I think she will wait out this Presidency at least for the unexpected enjoyment she gets out of being first lady and keeping her son with his father. I don't feel bad for her, he was a pompus, unattractive ass when she dated him for 5 years so she knew what she was getting into. Remember when she released a statement contradicting Ivana's statement that she is the first lady, I had to laugh, clearly Ivana gets under her skin.

I bet it's safe to say that Trump emotionally manipulates and abuses Melania. Women enduring that can't easily escape. Much less do it with the entire world watching her every move. I despise Trump but I will always feel sorry for Melania as long as she is with him. I don't care how much money she now has or if she knew what she was signing up for or how many mistakes she has made. She is probably an abused woman. I can't imagine what it's like being in her shoes. I hope like hell she finds the strength to stand up to him one day. But in the meantime, if she decides not to accompany him on his trips, I support her.

I just feel sorry for Melania. Yeah, I cringe when my Trumpist relatives post memes about her bringing class to the White House (um, nude photos anyone?) but none of this is her fault and I really get the sense she is just miserable. Perhaps she always was, or perhaps actually winning the presidency made it so, but the woman is clearly miserable.
She loves her son. She does not deserve to be painted with the Trump,brush because we really know nothing about her- she is a pale shadow behind the Orange Douche Bag and he seems to want it that way even if she did not. Personally I think she wants to be left be and if she skips a trip I’m happy for her to be able to. She ought not be held hostage to all this nonsense. When they married and for ma y years things were probably fine- he did his thing and she hers, so this new role has to be jarring.
It’s easy to take pot shots at her but I truly feel she is miserable and trapped...I have nothing but sympathy for Melania.

If she is smart, she will withhold public appearances of support in exchange for more money. I hope a bonus is what ended the public hand-slapping episodes. He likes to make deals, and she has him in an interesting position right now, and in the wake of the prostitute scandal she has leverage.

I think right now her number one concern is raising Baron. That is an admirable quality. I don't know (or really care about) the marriage, but you can tell she wants the best for her kid. I just take the rest of the stories with a grain of salt and I think there is some truth to all of it, but it probably isn't exactly what everyone thinks it is.

Melania Trump makes unannounced trip to Palm BeachBY JOSH DELK - 01/25/18 02:58 PM EST First lady Melania Trump landed in West Palm Beach, Fla., for an unannounced trip on Thursday. CNN confirmed with law enforcement that Trump landed around midday in the coastal town, where the Trump Organization's Mar-A-Lago resort is located. It is not clear if she is staying at the resort. Melania Trump's office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Hill. Before arriving in Florida on Thursday, the first lady made another unannounced visit to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., in recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is on Saturday. The first lady canceled a trip to accompany President Trump to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland this week. The first couple did not publicly celebrate their thirteenth wedding anniversary on Monday. thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/370739-melania-makes-unannounced-trip-to-palm-beach
