Scroll down to the 8 second video of Trump looking back at Melania.
She must be an unhappily married woman.

(6,551 posts)She will most likely make her own life in New York and will attend major events at the White House.
She made her own bed so to speak, but I am saddened to see anyone who is clearly very unhappy in their marriage. Trump's rude behavior toward her when they arrived at the White House spoke volumes about his character. He ignored her, walked up the steps and greeted the Obamas while she got out of the car. Trump ignored her again as he walked to the WH door and it was Obama and Michelle who walked with her, behind Trump, each with one arm on her back.
What a terrible man.

(20,220 posts)Fortunately I wasn't financially dependent on him so I got the hell out.
I am sympathetic to her situation. What I meant was that people who say she just married Trump because he's don't realize the shit she has to put up with.

(3,335 posts)Perhaps she could be the first but I doubt it. Nothing so far has stuck to him among the deplorables, and there's no reason to believe her divorcing him will have an impact either. Short of live tape showing him blowing Putin in exchange for Russian money, his base just doesn't care.

(63,221 posts)It probably seemed like a good idea to her at the time, why do so many people want her to pay for her foolishness forever?

(3,657 posts)leaves his scumbag ass? My bet is that woman beats herself up every day he's not beating her up verbally. No woman deserves this.

(13,503 posts)No. Don't "fuck her." She's a human being who is obviously showing signs of wear and tear and being unhappy. Being a gold digger doesn't automatically consign someone to being deservedly abused (emotionally, verbally or physically). So, if there is evidence that he's mistreating her, we should sympathize with her and offer her all the support she needs to leave his ass.

You know he probably has eyes on a young Putin prostitute-- Malaria's trying to wait it all out.

(4,492 posts)1977-1990 (separation date)-- Ivana (mother of the Children of the Corn)
1993-1997 (separation date)-- Marla Maples. Married 2 months after Tiffany was born. Divorce finalized in 1999
2005-present-- Melania. Barron born 2006
Ivana got $20 million out of him as a divorce settlement. Marla only got $1 million.

R B Garr
(16,993 posts)over Melania's shoulder. When he looks at her after greeting Ivanka, she sees him turn nasty when he looks at her. Look at her start to look over her shoulder at Ivanka, but she stops herself.
I've seen her shrink when Ivanka is around before. She knows Ivanka is No. 1. That whole exchange shows their peckung order and, of course, his utter nastiness.

(41,991 posts)I've seen several people say that and it doesn't ring true. Either way she looks as though she's smiling to his face and telling another story otherwise.
Fast Walker 52
(7,723 posts)so the reverse argument make no sense.
let's not say she's a poor victim - it's a bit sexist.
she's made her choice and she's living with it. she's not a damsel in distress.
she has "power" now - she can leave if she wants to but i think she likes her situation.

(8,781 posts)There are so many reports of his abusiveness to his older sons from college roommates, etc. Who knows how he treats Barron. He might have done or said something to Barron she will never forgive. She appears to be a good mother.

Lotusflower70
(3,077 posts)That people dismiss a victim because she lives in luxury. Why does that minimize possible victimization? No amount of money is worth peace of mind. Money doesn't negate pain. A victim still struggles whether there is money or not, there may be different struggles but still struggles.
E.A.B.
(12 posts)it shows how misleading the editing is on the eight-second clip.
A sign at my local march on Saturday said something like, "I'm mad about so many things I can't put it on one sign." That's pretty much my sentiment, but we still have to be skeptical of everything we hear.
