It’s like blaming Hillary for Bill’s mistakes. I think she might be the only person that doesn’t kiss his ass. He will be making decisions that could affect all of us. That should be our real concern.

Considering what we heard about his campaign volunteers, there’s literally NO WAY a non-disparagement and non-disclosure clause were left out of her pre-nup.

I can’t hate her either. She signed up to be a trophy wife. Not my deal, but whatever. She signed up to go to events, look pretty, wear couture, and smile a lot. She did not sign up to be a political wife, which is a whole other ball game altogether.

THIS, absolutely. With as litigious and vengeful as he is, he would make her life hell if she left. And she does have a fairly young child to consider, as well. Maybe she figures putting up with Donald’s ill treatment (because I have no doubt he’s shitty to her) is worth making sure her kid gets what he needs. Maybe…

My assumption is that they had an understanding when they got married. Being FLOTUS was not part of that understanding.

I think she has agency. I also think she signed a prenup back in the day, and it is restricting her choice of exit, unless she wants to leave penniless and possibly also without Barron. Before Trump decided to run for president, and won, she was biding her time, waiting for him to get tired of her aging, and move on…

There’s good, and then there’s cynical pragmatism. Melania’s the latter - she used her youthful beauty to snag herself a rich husband to provide for her so she could live a wealthy life of no physical labor, on the assumption that he’d eventually tire and divorce her, and she’d get a payout to retire on in the…

Oh please. She knew what she was getting into when she married her father!

Sometimes people are treated in a way or raised in a way that can never allow them to develop a sense of personal agency or eventually strips them of it. I grew up around 1% bikers and the way some (many) of the women are treated eventually creates what is almost a form of Stockholm syndrome where they are only truly…

I actually don’t think she thinks she has any agency. A friend is going through a very difficult divorce with psychological and financial abuse. It took a while before she could see the path in front of her to get out. And he is still able to throw roadblocks up because he can. If Melania arrived her with a…

Having been married to a narcissist, I can’t help but feel bad for her. He was probably incredible to her at the beginning, she probably fell madly in love with that false persona, and he probably had her sign papers that will financially destroy her if she leaves.

She has my ire, and that is it.

She didn’t sign up to be first lady. I’d rather have her as acting first lady than one of his daughters.

He pays her to be near him.

Yeah, I have absolutely no sympathy. You married a horrible trash monster rapist because he’s rich? Have fun watching him slaver over his own daughter and getting pawed at by those tiny, tiny hands.

#FreeMelania

Stop calling her a Jackie Kennedy wanna- be. She’s clearly a Carla Bruni knock-off.

i’ve seen him live and he was awesome. i can appreciate his music while still understanding that if i ever had the option to date him, that that would be the worst thing i could do for myself.

Because they think the Russia stuff is “fake news” and that dumpster fire of a press conference was him taking the media-elite to task for reporting all the fake news. To a certain mindset, Trump is kicking ass and taking names and gulping down our liberal tears.

25% of all Americans are always deranged haters. The rest of the 44% are just loathsome republicans.
