Cohen Drops Bomb At Trial - Trump Didn't Care If Melania Left Him Because 'How Long Do You Think I'll Be On The Market?'

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen dropped a bomb in court when he recounted former President Donald Trump’s reaction to the prospect of wife Melania Trump finding out about an alleged sexual encounter.

After a week that featured over six hours of testimony from Stormy Daniels in the hush money-election interference trial, Monday will see the all-important testimony of former Trump attorney/fixer Michael Cohen — who is the linchpin in the prosecution’s case that Trump’s alleged falsification of business records constitutes a felony plot to interfere in the presidential election.

Among the revelations Cohen made on the witness stand was a stunningly flippant reaction that Cohen says he got from Trump when he asked about how Mrs. Trump might take it if the story of Trump’s sexual encounter with Daniels came out. From The New York Times live updates:

Michael Cohen says that Trump explicitly told him they needed to do whatever they could to suppress Stormy Daniels’s story until at least after the election, because it wouldn’t matter at that point. Cohen also recalls asking Trump how Melania Trump might take everything that was happening. He describes Trump’s reply as follows: “He goes, ‘How long do you think I’ll be on the market for? Not long.’ He wasn’t thinking about Melania. This was all about the campaign.”

before he started campaigning. She was persuaded to stay until after the election.
No one thought he would win. Then she didn't move to DC when he won, she said she
was staying in NYC. It is assumed Trump had to pay up to make her drop divorce
plans and move to DC. She did come to DC but it is thought she lived with Barron and her parents
in Virginia.

Suddenly he needed her to show up in Washington and be the "First Lady." Before that he didn't care what she did. Melania found herself in the catbird seat, and the original prenup agreement got thrown out. Melania got a trust fund set up for Barron, and his college is paid for, plus other arrangements. I think you're right about the house in Virginia too. Melania was required to show up for certain official events, but she didn't live in the White House, or at Mar-a-Lago.

She didn't come to DC until she got the price she wanted.
That is one reason Trump was so angry with her at the inauguration.

So yes exactly she was in the catbird's seat for once.

I think she is living at MAL, of course in separate quarters.
It is said she shows up for dinner sometimes with Trump.
This must be part of the negotiations.

That said she probably has a bolthole somewhere to get away from it all.

I’m surprised the jury didn’t break out in hysterical laughter after Cohen made the ‘won’t last on the market’ comment.

3 foot red tie, odoriferous, out of shape, slathered with orange pancake makeup and with a crumpled-up, desiccated blond rat's nest on top of his head. A genuine "catch".

After all, he does believe that all women are whores.....

but, of course he also suffers under the delusion that he is physically attractive---

(to Jabba the hut's younger sister, likely he would be!)

Those women make Kimberly G look upscale. I could care less what folks look like or how they want to "improve" their looks, but DJT does care. Sure he may manage to buy another woman but no way he does better than Melania at this point. That's why he's still willing to let her shame him in front of the whole world.

She's already out doing her own thing anyway. Barron will be off to college, and she'll be footloose and free of Chump for good.
