I have noticed that in at least 90% of the pictures of scrotus and his queen, they aren't smiling. Pity.

I have total compassion for abused women, but this woman knew exactly what she was getting into and was obviously willing to do whatever to become the new trophy wife and live in luxury. I have nothing but contempt for her.

If she is being abused, and she probably does get verbally/emotionally abused, then I hope she finds the strength to get out.

But I'm not going to concern myself with her misery index. They probably have his and her spaces in their tower and wouldn't have that option at the WH since people will talk, regardless of what they sign saying otherwise. She's most likely happier when he's not around. The same can be said of him, I'd wager.

So aside from a few must be together public appearances, I'm sure they are both happy with their latest arrangement.

I can't help but think if Melania Trump really wanted out, she would do so. Well known divorce lawyers would be happy to take her case.

I don't see fear but anger and fierceness. Look at her mouth and her jaw.
I don't doubt that DT bullies her but I think she can dish it out too.
