Let me start
Which famous person in the news often was accused of raping his first wife?
p.s. What is certain and already proven is rump is lying about why she is hiding.

(3,105 posts)I don't know why, but I am fascinated with this story.
I don't think it is plastic surgery (almost all my friends do), but she has finally left him. Just doesn't want it anymore.
But, the thing is, if it was MO, I truly believe the press would be all over this
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)The possibilities seem to be, not in any order of likelihood:
1.Mueller has landed her as a witness so she is testifying and remaining away from the traitor and his traitorous cabinet.
2. She had plastic surgery and is still recovering, facial, thus cant be seen
3. Rump either beat her or raped her given he has a track record of this, some people say - and until her wounds heal she has to hide
4. She has left him and they cant figure out how to deal with it yet
Any others?

(3,105 posts)if it is door number 3, his circle will close in to protect him. Are the that vile? I always think the answer is no, and I am always surprised.
Stay tuned, same channel, same time - it is delicious, isn't it.

(7,684 posts)supposed to) she agreed to stay (?for a price?) but recently has realized that all the investigations around Spanky could freeze the bank account(s/) she was supposed to be paid out of at the time of the divorce. Meaning she's likely to come out of divorce with almost no money, so she had a mental breakdown.

I would love it to be #4 -- she's left him. But where is Barron?

The woman married IT. She is not dumb. Fame and fortune often disappoint those who seek it by depending on the rich with tiny paws and an even smaller moral compass.
Mr.Bill
(24,297 posts)she is one of the dumbest women on the planet. She would have to be to marry Trump.

(31,112 posts)do plastic surgery.
Wouldnt be bad or good or anything. But she is temporarily at least the first lady, sure she and her husband are illegals but they are there so we deal with it.
While we know rump lies about everything ...well we know that so we have to find out for ourselves
'
illegals in that they are illegally occupying MY White House

(67,109 posts)can be elected. Also, the fact that a two party system can occur is wrong, plus corporations are allowed to have too much power as a singular entity.
Additionally, these unbridled bribes of congress are so damn wrong, plus often they who have the most money win.
I truly think this country is probably fucked in the long run. Mr. tRump exploited the weaknesses and well demonstrated the weak points in our election system. Plus, add to this the inane gerrymandering and vote counting that is questionable at best.
There are some major significant problems in USA. I doubt the founders ever envisioned the shenanigans of today. ... and the pardon power of the president. Why should so much power be invested in one individual.
lunasun
(21,646 posts)ever it is if that is the case, it can not be covered in public so facial and all the tender areas take a while to heal from bruises created by the surgery work and as you said she is into having it done repeatedly , so she may need to be unseen for some time
If she was sick imo trump would take advantage of that and exploit it with his voters to gain sympathy and distraction .
Saint martyr syndrome but instead he tweeted she is doing great so I'm guessing it's something they want the public to ignore
* edit to add I'm not saying she looks like shit
I'm guessing trump berates her about her appearance
If anything it's the plastic work that makes her look odd to me

(89,250 posts)Melania has family including her parents here. If this was about anything bad happening to her they would protect her.
She has her own rooms at trump tower and in the white house. They haven't ever really lived together for years.
She has more power as first lady.
People need to stop seeing her as a victim when she is more likely an enabler.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)She is NOT a victim, that much I agree with.
She CHOSE to marry the worst human being alive who is not in the category of killer, i.e. putin, hitler, etc.
Now to her defense his being the worst human alive has become more and more apparent since his boss stole the WH for him, but it was clear to HER before she married him.

but it often deteriorates into FAUX-News-style some people are saying.
The speculation that Trump beat her is ludicrous. I would guess that given the nature of their relationship, the only time they even see each other is when Melania appears with him at a public event.
Have they separated? They hardly spent time together before he was in the WH so who would even know?
Because of Barrons school schedule, shes only free to spend time away from D.C. during his summer recess. Why wouldnt she be as far away from Trump as possible when she has the chance to do so?
Is she recovering from surgery (cosmetic or otherwise)? Why is that anyones business and why does it matter?
With all of the disastrous things Trump does every single day, which actually do affect the country and its populace, Melanias whereabouts are the last thing we should be concerned about.

(7,505 posts)There was a reason Trump asked Bill Gates the difference between HPV and HIV. He wasn't sure what he had. Whatever it was he gave it to Melanoma. That was her last straw.
kimbutgar
(21,155 posts)She didnt need plastic surgery. She has gotten the tight nip and tucks and Botox to maintain. She is already gorgeous and perfect in her looks. Kind of like a Barbie doll woman.
Something bad happened to her and she is hopefully recovering. I feel bad for her son. They are obviously close and he must be having a hard time.
MontanaMama
(23,317 posts)Its so unusual to have a First Lady MIA for this length of time. The suggestion that she might have finally left tRumps ass is interesting to me. If shes off having plastic surgery I think it is our business to know if were paying for it.

(4,450 posts)If he fucked her up bad enough that would explain the prolonged absence from the public eye. Hell GHW Bush was on deaths doorstep one day and there were pictures of him the following week- and hes like 175 years old!

(17,045 posts)I think she simply had a more serious medical issue than was made public. I don't blame her for not wanting the whole world to know every single moment of her life.
no_hypocrisy
(46,116 posts)Something precipitated by Trump bringing up the fact that her parents haven't been granted American citizenship yet and he could have them quietly deported. Stuff like she'll never see them again.

(36,926 posts)would more than make up for the loss of pre-nup agreement funds. I think she and Baron are in hiding, maybe under federal witness protection, maybe something else. Idiot has no clue about how to handle this.
