But imagine being married to a "billionaire" who never buys you Christmas or birthday gifts. Once again, apparently (this is from CNN), Trump is getting his wife only "a beautiful card": One thing Trump hasn't done is much Christmas shopping, even on tony Worth Avenue, the Palm Beach shopping stretch a mile from his home. Answering a question from an Army intelligence analyst posted in Kuwait on Tuesday, Trump admitted he was still working on a gift for his wife.
"I got her a beautiful card," Trump said. "I picked the nicest one."
You'd think he'd at least ask his secretary to order some chocolate and sign his name to it.

Which is a totally asshole way to do business.

This was after he was briefly-fucking a porn star and a Playboy centerfold whom he paid. Very briefly I might add.
What present could he buy her to make up for that? Australia? Hawaii? South America ?
Of course it wAs the nicest card: he spent six minutes in CVS right? Unlikely....

(22,692 posts)Whatever she doesn't want the most will be what she gets. Unless she's learned to play his game well enough to trick him then she may be able to manipulate her way to an actual gift she wants.
'To love is to hurt' is the way of the psychopath. It's a sick and twisted universe.

(5,270 posts)so at least Jr. has gotten some discarded secondhand gifts because they share the same DJT initials.

(21,675 posts)Didn't he give one of his hats to his FIL? And then got pissed because said FIL actually wore it in his presence?
You can't make this up.

Remember, she is a Trump by choice. That said, she probably sits around wondering when he is going to die. Pretty sure she's not the only one.

(11,473 posts)Their marriage is over and she was paid to stay as long as he is president. Actually he may not be paying her anything.
The look on her face on the day her became president sitting behind him like an abused spouse said it all to me.
I dont think it was just money either, he threatened to take her son and her parents werent citizens yet and he probably threatened to kick her out of the country.

(5,810 posts)Yes. Its true. Injections must be repeated periodically. She probably has her dermatologist on speed dial, so a gift card to that doctor might be just the ticket for Melania. Tee hee...

(17,931 posts)It was transactional. He's transactional and so is she. Since she stuck around after Baron showed up, either the prenup is a killer or there was some side deal cut after he won a surprise victory in '16. But if she left at this point, there's no worry about the evilgelicals. They swallowed the hook and aren't coming off line.
