Are we overlooking something amid the salacious details of the Trump/Daniels affair?

Forget about what this says about Trump and his morals - that's obvious.

But what do we see here?

A married man, who's wife just gave birth a few months earlier - involved in an ongoing affair with a public figure.

This is testimony to the odd relationship between Trump and Melania.

Why has she stuck around all this time?

The fact she is still around makes me wonder what she is really all about and what is the true nature of her relationship with Donald Trump.

They may appear as husband and wife - but there has to be more.

Notice - somehow - her name has never been mentioned with regard to any of the Mueller/Russia investigation?

Is that due to spousal privilege? That's convenient.

You would think she might have some information that would interest them - no?

I find her increasingly interesting.

... I recall reading at some point that her father was the equivalent of a middle manager in the Slovenian Communist Party. So, depending on her age (not sure must how old she is today) she may have grown up with that sort of influence. Not sure.

But then there must be something a bit off about any woman who would marry a snake like Trump.

for her to live a similar lifestyle. also i think her sister and parents stay at his places so they wouldn't ahve that either.

if they divorce she would have to find some other way to support herself . she was never a top high earning model which is why she married him.

so it's not like she has much to go back on.

she could probably right a tell all book but it wouldn't be good for her son .

my fantasy is still for her to dump trump for putin.

What a repulsive thought. My mind may be tainted for the rest of my life.

even as much as not riding with him to the State of the Union, and not showing any enthusiasm for his speech.

I have no love for her, but my mind keeps going back to the incident at the inauguration where he said something to her and she absolutely cringed and wilted.

She's either very smart, or very dumb and easily led.

She certainly isn't showing even a smidgen of self-respect.

There is definitely something weird there.

However, it could also be that she doesn't want to rock the boat, knowing that she obtained her citizenship through less-than-aboveboard means.
