More Omarosa "Unhinged" Skinny on Melania and the Jacket

[Snellius]

Source: HillReporter

Ever since President Trump’s inauguration, when Melania Trump seemed to roll her eyes behind her husband’s back, those in the media have been speculating on the strength of First Couple’s marriage. And as new details on the President’s affairs with a porn star and a playboy playmate came to light, this speculation went into overdrive.

Now, according to former White House aide to the president, Omarosa Manigault Newman, the rumors are likely true. “In my opinion, Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce him,” Manigault Newman writes in her new book, Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House.

Manigault Newman also weighed in on that controversial jacket that Melania Trump wore when visiting the child detention center right in the midst of the blowback the President received for his inhumane policy of separating immigrant children from their parents. While the media directed the message on the back of her jacket, ‘I really don’t care, do U,’ towards the children, Manigault Newman gave a different perspective.

“She wore that jacket to hurt Trump, setting off a controversy that he would have to fix, prolonging the conversation about the administration’s insensitivity, ruining the trip itself, and trying to make sure that no one asked her to do something like that again,” Manigault Newman wrote.

[The_Counsel]

1. Not to Lend ANY Credence to ANYTHING Omarosa Says, But Now I Have a Question...

...exactly what would stop a presidential spouse from divorcing the president while s/he's in office? I don't believe the law prohibits this outright.

Or does it?

[madaboutharry]

2. Of course it doesn't.

Trump is probably paying her off to stay with him while he is president.

[erronis]

30. So is putine.

[Fresh_Start]

3. I'd guess she doesn't want unhinged Trump supporters attacking her or her son

which I believe would happen if she divorced him now.

[thucythucy]

18. Even as a former First Lady

wouldn't she be eligible for Secret Service protection?

[titaniumsalute]

19. Doubt it

[deurbano]

50. Vanessa Trump's divorce filing was revealed in March and by May, the Trump-humping NY Post

was reporting: "Vanessa Trump’s first love was member of violent street gang"

Funny about the timing... Seemed like a warning to keep her trap shut regarding Jr's affairs and other unsavory matters. I'm sure Sr's wife would receive the same treatment.

[Hekate]

4. FLOTUS is legally entitled to anything that the rest of us do. It just might not be safe...

...to leave potus while he's potus. If you know what I mean.

[NewJeffCT]

5. I'm pretty sure she can

however, she might have signed some sort of add-on to the original prenup that prohibits it?

[Anon-C]

6. No the law doesn't prohibit it, but polonium and Novichuk might.

[ecstatic]

37. That would be way too obvious! But, dump gets away with

everything, so he'd probably do it anyway.

[Retrograde]

8. IANAL, but legally I think nothing would prevent it

Divorce is a civil matter, and as we saw back in the 1990s sitting presidents can be served with civil suits. I'm not really all that familiar with New York State divorce laws, but it would seem that Donnie has given Melania enough grounds -especially if Ms Daniels and the rest would agree to testify - that it would be straightforward. The settlement would probably be an issue, though. If she wants more than whatever her prenup states Melania will have to fight for it.

Otherwise, as far as I know she can walk away any time she wants to. It would mean giving up the White House, her staff, flying around on government planes, possibly Secret Service protection - but it's her call.

[CentralMass]

24. A "civil matter" ? Your mileage may vary.

[Retrograde]

27. As opposed to criminal

yeah, nothing about the Trumps seems to be civil

[CentralMass]

28. I know. O was just being bitter.

[nolabear]

9. If she divorced him would she lose Secret Service protection?

Because she might know things that could get her killed.

[tinrobot]

16. She totally can divorce him, though he may deport her parents in retaliation.

He's pretty big on the revenge thing.

[jmowreader]

38. He might deport HER in retaliation

A spy network is set up a little like an Amway network - you have all your little fish out there doing their work. A group of them is led by an agent handler. A group of agent handlers is led by a case officer. There are a lot of advantages to this, chief among them being that if someone unmasks an agent the government might pick up the agent handler but they probably won't get the case officer, who is a very experienced spook they don't want to lose.

I believe Melania is Trump's agent handler. So long as Trump is in the White House, Melania will stay with him because it'd look REALLY obvious to plant a new handler now. Once he's out of office, all bets are off.

[TeamPooka]

25. There's a pre-nup. She's abiding by her current contract.

[Freethinker65]

29. Why divorce him. She can do whatever the fuck she wants to and got citizenship for her parents

While she would probably be fine with spending even less time with Trump, getting to travel and meet powerful and famous people that otherwise would not give her the time of day is a perk.

[Honeycombe8]

34. No, but the maelstrom would be hard for anyone to take.

The press would be following her around, hounding her & Barron all the time. Shouting questions at her. It would hurt Trump's presidency. She may just want a divorce and not care to kill his presidency.

I figure that for every porn star and marital betrayal, there was a nice payment into her separate account. Say, $1 Million a pop? $1 Million for the Stormy night. $3 Mill for the long term affair with that other woman. Etc.

She's racking up the dough, while she's in the White House. I guess she signed a prenup, so although she's a millionaire in her own right, she'll make a lot of money in the W.H., and then she can divorce and live comfortably & marry a handsome, younger (and rich) man with a bod.

[IronLionZion]

44. The first lady gets to keep the white house in the divorce

and the president has to go sleep on Giuliani's couch until he settles into a longer term stay in federal prison.

[The_Counsel]

57. Thanks, All, For the Replies. Consensus Seems to Be "Legal Agreement," Rather than "Law."

Okay, I'll buy that.

But MAN, that's gotta suck if you're Melania. I guess she'll just dry her tears with $100 bills...

[Beartracks]

7. I think Omarosa's take on the intent of The Jacket is...

... probably way closer to the truth than that its message was aimed at the children.

At least, I like to think that the First Lady trolls her husband every chance she gets.

==========

[Snellius]

11. Agree.

She seems more complicated than the political role of First Lady/Trophy Wife she's been cast (and accepted) to play. Trump, like all sociopaths, is always looking to take advantage of those who let themselves easily be taken advantage of.

[Chemisse]

33. It makes a LOT more sense to me

Than that she felt compelled to announce to the world that she didn't care about captive children.

It fits with other clues that she is quietly defiant toward her husband, and has techniques to get her way (lengthy stays in NY, the hand-holding spurn, the disappearance after her surgery, maybe even the plagiarized speech at the convention).

[Ilsa]

45. I tend to agree. She doesn't give a shit about FLOTUS duties.

This was her way of making sure she wouldn't be sent to see the brown kids at the border ever again.

[OnDoutside]

49. I do too. I thought at the time he was making her go down there, just to give him positive PR and

she was furious about that. Hence the jacket.

[NCTraveler]

10. This part is something I can believe.

"trying to make sure that no one asked her to do something like that again"

[Marcuse]

53. She went back.

[GeorgeGist]

12. Is divorcing the President off limits ...

like indicting him?

[maxsolomon]

13. I'd wager she made a deal to wait until 2025 to divorce him.

8 figures, if not 9.

And the deal probably says she doesn't have to pretend to care.

[ecstatic]

40. Welp, that's assuming he'll still have money and

that his criminal enterprises won't be disbanded by Mueller. She should roll the dice and take her chances. There's a lot of other ways to make money. Turning on trump would be a cash cow. Do a tell all, advocate and support real causes, like autism support and awareness, etc.

[maxsolomon]

55. She probably made the deal when he announced, not after Mueller started.

There might be substantial penalties for early withdrawal.

Plus, she doesn't give a fuck about real causes. She only really seems to care about Barron. Which is more than you can say about The Dotard.

[trueblue2007]

15. Melana should put something in his food to make him gain 50 pounds in a month !!!

[handmade34]

21. nah...

maybe something so he loses 300 pounds in a month?

[ProudLib72]

23. A Gypsy curse like in the movie Thinner?

It was beautiful pie. The most beautiful pie in the world!

[world wide wally]

32. At least 239 lbs.

[trueblue2007]

56. NO !!! i want Trump to be FATfatFAT ... like the guy in the Monty Python movie.

[AlexSFCA]

17. it makes a lot of sense

the explanation about the jacket. It appears that was her way to shine the light on the issue while not risking retaliation. She will likely lose custody of her son entirely should she start divorce now. Her against the most powerful person in the world is not a fair battle. trump’s cronies would incriminate her creating false stories and falsicying events, etc. She is a weak person, we’ve always known this.

[TeamPooka]

26. If they broke up Trump's response would be "She was only my wife for a very short period of time...

I hardly know her. Also, she's not very bright and she's a lowlife."

[ecstatic]

41. Lose custody?! Dump's absentee father record is well documented.

The entire world knows he is unfit, as he acts like a child himself!

[deurbano]

42. Yeah, no way would he actually want to have to take care of his children!

[Totally Tunsie]

48. I'm not so sure Melly woud lose custody of Barron.

She seems to be devoted to being a decent mother and to protecting him. tRump would have to come up with some pretty strong charges for her to lose custody, and I don't thnk he's even that interested in him.

Has he ever been shown to be interacting with Barron? Speculating, but Barron seems to be mildly "on the spectrum", and probably doesn't meet Daddy's requirements for recognition. He also wrote off Tiffany long ago. As long as he has his triumvirate of Donny, Ivanka and Eric, he's content.

If Melly files against him, he'll probably want all traces of her gone, including his youngest spawn.

[smirkymonkey]

52. He seems to have absolutely no interest in that child at all.

People say it's probably a good thing that he isn't around him much, and I would agree, but it has to screw a child up to know that his father wants nothing to do with him. Trump should have been sterilized a long time ago. He has never had any business being a father to anyone.

[DeminPennswoods]

51. Trump could care less about their kid

and Marla Maples raised Tiffany as a single mom.

[Cha]

20. Whatever the jacket Backfired. It was a Stupid time

to wear it.

[Chemisse]

35. Maybe not from her perspective.

Perhaps it did what it was intended to do.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. I'm positive Melania would have divorced Trump after the election but became trapped when he 'won.'

[erronis]

31. Does nobody else think that Melanie is there because she was cultivated?

That's always been my first assumption.

Of course with so many gaping apertures into the bowels of the dump world, I'm not sure the rUSSRians need her to keep playing that role.

Come home and get your medal and just desserts.

[Ilsa]

46. I have often thought she was a russian plant.

She is not trump's controller, but a spy. Doing the work of FLOTUS wasn't in the deal.

[Honeycombe8]

36. I think the jacket was more of a "Okay, this looks cool. I haven't worn it in a while."

I don't think Melania gives much thought to things. She's never had to. She just does whatever.

To say it was so they wouldn't send her on more outings, I don't know. I think she'd just refuse to go. I don't think she'd do a cloak and dagger sending-a-message thing. She's not that deep or forward thinking, is my impression.

She's into appearance and fashion. I think it was as simple as...it was a cool thing to wear. She didn't care about what mission she was being sent on, so that didn't cross her mind.

I also don't know that Omarosa was tight with Melania, to know what's in Melania's mind.

Everything Omarosa says is suspect, unless she has something to back it up. She's a known dishonest, unethical, sarcastic, not nice person. She was furthering Trump's goals, while knowing he didn't give a flip about the country or anyone but himself.

But it's a pleasure to see the fight between her and the White House. Bad people going after each other.

I will say this for her. She was sharp not to sign that NDA. I bet almost everyone does. That took hudspa. And they kept her on staff. Tha's how important she was to them. Trump's "my African American."

[Chemisse]

39. What if her stupid cyber-bullying 'campaign' is just a way to embarrass Trump as well?

It never made a lot of sense: an ineffectual effort to stop something that her husband does on a daily basis.

[ecstatic]

47. Of course! The problem is, by trolling trump, she also trolls the rest of us.

It's impossible not to.

[Achilleaze]

43. Melanie gives a big FU to Dirty Donny, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

Her and all the decent people on planet earth.

[Raine]

54. I don't believe much of what Omarosa says but

this makes more sense then other explanations.
