that he was getting his nookie elsewhere so she didn't have to lie underneath his blubbery, sweaty orange body for that icky 20 seconds or so.

No amount of money would be worth it to me. I don't really think a lot of Melania, but in a way I do kind of feel sorry for her. He has her in a bad spot. If she leaves or doesn't go along with him, she stands to lose her child and a way to make a living. He can destroy her and she knows it. He would take Barron, not because he cares about him or because he wants him, but because he knows it would kill her.

He is an evil, vicious man. I don't think she realized how horrible he was when she first got involved with him.

I remember an article that posited she just wanted to have a baby.

A visitor to one of Trump’s homes, late into Melania’s pregnancy, recalls him remarking that he agreed to the baby on the condition that Melania would get her body back. “She promised him that everything would go back to the way it was,” says this guest; it struck this person as a “contract.” And he was simply rude to her. “There was no ‘How do you feel?’ No opening of doors, making sure she didn’t fall. Just ‘You wanted to have a baby.’ ”

She had to know the kind of person he is when she threw in with him. And she’s probably relieved when he “strays,” it’s less time she has to spend with him.

That might explain some of the things she's done in public, like refusing to hold hands with him. Also, the fake smile she put on when she knew he was looking at her, which she then removed when she knew he wasn't looking at her.

Only reason she is still married to him is because he probably doesn't have that much cash that he can pay her and she continue living the same lifestyle.

from the jewelry, clothes, or fancy digs. How much money does it take to make her happy? From what I see, it hasn't made her happy at all.

a debatable proposition, to be sure, she knew what she was getting into. The Donald's sex life has been fodder for the tabloids for many years.

And, I'd bet that he put together an ironclad prenuptial agreement way before he married her. She'll get enough child support for Barron to allow her to live pretty well, too, but after he turns eighteen, she'll have to rely on what's left of her looks and her fame. She'll opt for staying in until Trump croaks, it won't be that much longer, relative to the life she still has ahead of her.
