East Wing rips book saying Melania Trump renegotiated prenup before moving to White House

Source: The Hill

The East Wing on Friday dismissed a new book about first lady Melania Trump that reported she waited to move to the White House in 2017 while she renegotiated the terms of her prenuptial agreement with President Trump.

"Yet another book about Mrs. Trump with false information and sources. This book belongs in the fiction genre," Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's chief of staff, said in a statement. The statement did not address any specific claims in the book.

The Washington Post reported Friday morning on a forthcoming book from one of its reporters, Mary Jordan, about the first lady prior to and during her time in the White House.

Melania Trump remained in New York City when the president first moved into the White House, citing a desire not to uproot then-10-year-old Barron Trump in the middle of a school year. Jordan reported that was accurate, but that the first lady was also using the time apart as leverage to renegotiate more favorable terms for her prenuptial agreement.

You know she got a shitty deal the first time around, that's what he does to women so it's cheap to discard them.

Melania would get millions. But not BILLIONS, since he's only got 1 of those

but then I realized how stiff most of them were and how extremely proscribed her role as unattainable arm candy is. I know I wouldn't trade places with her for all the money Dummy says he has.

It's an elaborate Trumpist trap?

That is a level of subterfuge I don't think they're capable of pulling off. It would need to be coordinated between all the sources.

I bet she is in NYC most of the time, in her own DC house, or off on some shopping trip or spa vacation that's really a cover for her side bois.

my brow furrowed because I had not heard the term used vis-a-vis The White House. Of course, I had heard of the West Wing, (I do watch television, after all.)

Once I processed that the East Wing is an official designation for part of The White House and probably the part that serves as base of operations for the First Lady, I thought, "Lucky her. At least she gets to have her own wing completely separate from his domain. Probably the only reason she agreed to come down to DC in the first place."

Vhere vould ve be without her influence? No "Be Best" No jackets with "I really don't care. Do U" written on it. No Forst Lay-Dee nude photos. So much fun to be had. No smacking avay his tiny orange hand. Vot a loss for zis contry. She has been such an ass-et. And to think that Putin claims that Russia has the best prostitutes.

"There’s also little evidence to suggest that her claims of being able to speak four or five languages fluently are true."

"'Photographers and others who have worked with her over the years — including native speakers of Italian, French, and German — told me that they never heard her use more than a few words of those languages,' Jordan writes. Reporting in the book suggests she speaks only English and Slovene fluently."

Fluent English? Has the reporter actually listened to Melanoma speaking?

She was staying in NYC till her little baby boy finished school. Remember?
It's just like the time she disappeared for a few weeks because she had a "kidney problem".
Look, see? See how nice her kidneys are now?
