    Every now and then I seem to develop some sort of sympathy for her. It’s painfully obvious she’s a trophy wife, and she didn’t sign up for any of this political bullshit. It’s equally obvious she’s just in it for what she thought was the money. She signed up to sit around, fuck an old man for a few years until he died, and life a posh life sleeping with the bodyguard or doorman to keep herself entertained until he did.

    His foray into politics, and I think, winning the Presidency is probably her worst case scenario. I take her “I don’t really care…” sweater at face value – she doesn’t care. She didn’t want it, she doesn’t care about it, and she kind of just wants to go back to being a pretty face whose name you can’t quite remember.

    Then I remember she not only enabled her husband, but actively supported him during his Presidency. Fuck that bitch. She made her choice, even if it’s for silly reasons.

      I actually read your whole comment and didn’t just stop at your first paragraph, so I’m not gonna rip your head off, lol. I just want to point out that her sartorial choice of wearing a $35 “I Don’t Care Do U?” jacket to visit detained immigrant children who were separated from their families in Texas – when her usual wardrobe consists of dresses that are in the five-figure range, literally house down-payment price tags – had nothing to do with anyone but her.

      She chose it specifically to signal that she did not give a flying fuck about separating families at the border, and now she’s all upset that we did indeed get the message.

      Fuck that. She’s a heartless cunt, they deserve each other, it’s a marriage of equals in many ways, she’s here on a “genius” visa she doesn’t deserve, he wpn the election with Russian help which was then repaid with our national intelligence and the destruction of much of our civil service, and the both of them can rot in hell.

      Whether she goes or doesn’t go to this funeral, Melania will NEVER rise to the level of belonging to that gracious crowd of genuine US First Ladies, much less ever be seen as Rosalynn Carter’s moral and societal equal.

      I fail to see how this merits sympathy, with or without the context that she married Trump. No one that has this mentality, be they make or female, deserves sympathy. Marrying someone for their money alone is a flat out shitty thing to do.

      Like, I’m all for acknowledging that women are often trapped in marriages with shitty husbands and get dragged along on their bullshit against their will, lest they lose their financial support.

      I get it. Even the seemingly powerful women are sometimes victims.

      But that doesn’t even begin to apply here. Especially not for her, because once you add the context back, it’s still not enough.

      You don’t stumble into a relationship with Donald Trump only to find out he’s kind of an asshole after the ring is on.

      She choose this man. She lost all sympathy the day she made that choice.

      Trump has not been a walking tumor for only the last 8 years.

      Really? My theory always was that she is the Russian handler assigned to make sure he doesn’t lie and renege on any of his promises to Putin the way that we all know Trump absolutely would if he didn’t have a handler.
