Clearly she's a collaborator, but still I can't help but have a certain level of human sympathy for her predicament.

Melania can walk through it any time she wants. She makes the conscious choice, every day, to stay. The pain, the humiliation, the degradation, none of it outweighs whatever benefit she gets out of staying. I have no idea what that might be, but she's a person in full, with her own agency.

She knew what she was getting into. She was his 3rd wife for God's sake. She's stayed with him through all his misogynist, abusive behavior, and who knows how many affairs or one nighters. Could have walked away at any time and lived the good life just like his other 2 wives.

I agree with you and feel a little guilty for enjoying this thread. I wish she could leave him, but not likely while Trump is still president.

Knew what she was getting when she said, I do. Don't really care about ANY grief she MIGHT be suffering. Money and status was all she was looking for. She got it

He is such a pig. Who could f*ck him? Melania must be a professional, just like "Stormy," or she did it merely to get that anchor baby.

Happy Valentine’s Day, SCROTUS! Just remember that nobody loves you, and you will die alone as your body decomposes into nothing but a pile of Cheeto dust. (No hate here. Just the facts)
