My argument is that his persona was publicly known at the time, therefore she did not go into her marriage blind. I’m not saying she foresaw exactly what we’re seeing today, but I’d argue she had an idea what he is like. If he wasn’t a public figure, I would agree with your argument, but he’s not private.

I completely agree Patricia. He publicly humiliates women and has tantrums, can you imagine what he does behind closed doors?? At the very least he’s emotionally abusive. Over time it wears down a women’s dignity and self-esteem to the point they lose their identity. For those who say “she should just leave him.”…

She knew exactly what she was marrying, I have no sympathy for her.

It’s about common courtesy and mutual respect. I don’t think you have to be a feminist to agree with these aspects.

You would think he would have WANTED to walk with her up those stairs, to share his amazing occasion together...that he would want to hold her hand and experience it together.

Frankly, I’d be fine with a livecast of her head being shaven in a public square when this administration is finally over.

You must never have been in an abusive relationship. Because anything he is in public, he’s a thousand times worse in private. But by all means let your blind rage prevent you from seeing logic, reason and an emotionally abused woman.

I am a female and I wait for my husband when I get out of the vehicle. It is acknowledging the fact that someone is with you, Basic Human decency. Nothing to do with her being a female. He walked up, without even a glance at her. I am sure Hillary would have waited for Bill. For a high society person, he is very…

I think it’s really creepy how people cast her as this helpless victim. She’s capable and there of her own wits and volition. She’s not a princess in a castle. Obviously if he abuses her she does not deserve that-no one does- but to think she isn’t just as bad as all the Trumps is to indulge in a very creepy fantasy…

Yeah, if their body language toward each other says anything it’s that she would have been “free” a long time ago if she’d had a better lawyer when she signed that prenup.

That extra million per day for her security is early intervention for thousands of kids a nano-particle-sized, but really important tax cut for billionaires.

I call her Princess Melania but I think Melania Antoinette even better!

I’m on Team “fuck that selfish bitch!”.

Yeah, I’m over the whole sympathy thing. She’s not living in New York because she’s afraid or reluctant, she’s living in New York because Melania Antoinette cannot be bothered to change her lifestyle in any way.

She also showed her stupid face on tv with the Birther talk. She gets 0 sympathy from me.

She’s an illegal immigrant (worked without proper authorization, and overstayed her visa).

I agree. I don’t want to hear any kind of sympathy for her on anything. I won’t say “fuck her”, because I don’t think she necessarily deserves it, but I also don’t think she deserves one second of people’s concern for her perceived plight.

Him running probably didn’t come out of left field, but him winning probably did.

I’m not following any of that “Free Melania” bullshit. She’s not a child. I’m not going to assume I know more than she does because I see her on TV. She needs to grow the fuck up and move into her new house so she can quit costing the taxpayers so much unnecessary money.

My jaw hit the floor when I learned of this. Melania may be many things, but she did not deserve that humiliation. Obama and Michelle walking her in almost made me cry. HE IS SUCH A PIG.
