Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

Can’t wait for centrists to keep on pushing away the most engaged slice of their potential electorate and then react with insulted astonishment when somehow they continue hemorrhaging seats across the country.

Thank, you, too. I can tell that you understand this all too well. I’m sorry you do, too. I hate it so much when people start with the, “Well, she knew what she signed up for” garbage. No, honestly, she didn’t. Even if she knew he could be a bastard sometimes, she didn’t know. Of course, I can now look back and see…

I’m sure he has a prenup and also his legions of supporters will attack her if she divorces him...

I was a bit surprised with all the earlier criticism about daring to defend Melania. I was not defending her, I just cannot imagine Trumpelthinskin having a non-abusive relationship. I don’t think he is capable.

Yes, this! And also there is probably some trauma bonding (Stockholm Syndrome) going on.

There are thousands of people who are still terrified of their SO’s, despite time and distance, And there is the Leibstandarte Donald Trump

You actually think that being a naturalized citizen will protect her

Exactly. This assumption that some people make, that just because she would still have money to live means that she has no reason to fear him and/or stay with him, is ludicrous. For one thing, he could very well be blackmailing her, too, especially if the stories of her having been a high class prostitute have any…

Or maybe she really believes the right-wing crazy talk (she’s from Slovenia and most of what she knows of US politics is filtered through her husband!), and she’s ALSO being treated badly. He doesn’t have to literally be holding her prisoner in order for her to do the talk show circuits and spout conspiracy theory.

Yes, i think that too. There are some clips i saw, that really could lead to the assumption that she hates him.
