Melania Trump is living with the Obamas!

Rex Huppke

... If you’re the Trump administration and you don’t want people to know that the first lady ran off via a tunnel to live with the Obamas — President Trump’s arch-enemies — what would you do? You would write that tweet and send it from the first lady’s Twitter account ...

... I remembered the funeral photo and thought, “She’s happiest when she’s with the Obamas.” (Who can blame her? They’re lovely people.) So that told me where she had gone ...

The trickiest part was figuring out how the first lady made it off the White House grounds unnoticed. The sinkhole was the breakthrough ...

the ELECTION was STOLEN by the RUSSIANS and criminal republicans and we better fucking DO SOMETHING about it!

I suggest all SIXTY SIX MILLION of us who voted for her talk about this daily.

I like this story though also because as you know if Michelle had disappeared for this long the entire country would talk about nothing else, nothing AT ALL until she resurfaced. Of course that would be because it would be out of character for Mrs. Obama to do that, given we know she VERY MUCH loves her husband and wants to be with him.

videos of her scowling at the back of his head etc, slapping his hand away from her. Her parents are here now, cut dt loose woman. dt thinks his royal presence is enough to keep a woman around and no kindness need be involved. She should be happy etc. I go back and forth on this lady, but unlike us, she chose him. She sounds Russian when she speaks, I have my own opinion of why she even had to marry him, and it's just real real hard to like her choices. You know what? I dunno.

There are really stringent safeguards in place in the pre-nup Donald undoubtedly had her sign that protect his ass pretty well, but it's looking more and more like the Stormy Daniels stuff - as well as of the other rumored stuff - might be enough to negate them. She's just holding on long enough until things reach an irrefutable conclusion in regards to the pre-nup where she can then tell Donald to hit the bricks.

She has a son who just turned 12-same age as my granddaughter. It seems to me that she cares for him, maybe as his Mom loves him deeply, unlike his father who evidently could care less.

I don't think she would willingly abandon him to his father's tender mercies.

The situation she thought she was getting into when she married him could now be much worse than she ever thought it could or would be.

Even if she just married him for his money with no love or affection involved things may be so bad for her.(I think they are.) and she is trapped.

There are many women suffering from domestic violence right now.

Women with kids and not a dollar to their name. NOT A DOLLAR. She's now a victim? A woman with money and power? GMAFB

Not supporting her past decisions in any way. We can't know how she perceives her current situation. Women & people in difficult situations don't always make the logical or sane moves people on the outside see as the right way to go. It's all psychological based on life experiences past and present.

Also you can't disregard any threats he has made to her physically or maybe more important against her son. I don't put anything past hm or his hencemen.

But again this is just speculation. All the current stories could be the truth.

Trump has never been an involved father to Barron so she would easily win a custody battle. I highly doubt there would even be a battle though... I don't think Trump would even want Barron. Settle a divorce with tens of millions and be done. Tens of millions may not be enough for her...she may want hundreds of millions and that is her problem right there. IMO

Many men don't want the children because they love them. They want them to punish the wife and to punish her.

She could get an EASY 10-20 million on a fast divorce settlement but that might not be enough for her. Imagine now how a domestic violence victim living in a shelter on food stamps with her kids feels about that scenario. She also has a strong support system there if she wants to leave.
