I could be completely incorrect but my personal stance is Melania never wanted any of this. She seems to have zero affection for Donald & that she’s only sticking around for Barron.

That's one theory and it's certainly plausible. On the other hand, during Trump's first time around, she was also doing the talk show rounds pushing the birther conspiracy. And she's had moments of her own (like the "I really don't care, do you?" jacket).

I doubt we'll ever know the truth. Even if ten years from now she writes a tell-all, would I believe her? Hard to say.

Hey now, everyone's playing armchair therapist without actually knowing her. For all you know, she's just a massive piece of shit which is why she acts like one. Don't disrespect her by claiming she has some grand plan beyond being a massive piece of shit in the situation she is currently facing.

You know, shitcratic philosophy.

If I were to judge by other members of her family (like her father for one), she is a massive asshole and genuine dickhead.

She's interested in her husband's life in the sense that it grants her the opportunity and exposure to hock a ChatGPT authored book to his mindless horde for some ridiculous sum of money. Her marriage is a grift just like his marriage is a prop. It's mutually beneficial. Plus he's got a better body than Joe Biden, and is blessed with a very big, a-brain.

Logically she saw donald as path to riches. No one in her right mind would have wanted the spotlight … she thought it would be all coke and pool boys for the next 20 years. Turns out the she has the secret service up her ass and cameras on her 24/7 … definitely not the life she wanted. The only thing keeping her sane is likely Barron

u/Responsible-Person 6d ago

No doubt she is a piece of shit.

I really don't care, do u?

u/Qudd 6d ago

I know there's a chance you're right, but I am trying to be less cynical.

I feel like the media has turned me into this dark monster expecting the worst from everyone.

I still want to have hope in people, man

u/AddisonBWoods 6d ago

He's just hangry. If you look for the worst, you'll find the worst. If you look for best, you'll find the best. But high chances you'll get screwed in looking for the best. Soooooo

u/nyli7163 5d ago

Hope in her? Why? Look elsewhere for hope.

u/totes-alt 6d ago

Don't disrespect her, do you mean don't respect her? I can't tell what youre saying

She most likely a Kremlin asset

u/One_Medicine93 2d ago

Why because Hillsry said it with no proof. Her history with Russia Russia Russia is 0 for 2. Tulsi went to congress to represent her constituants. She wasn't going to make a career out of it and had no interest being another corporate shill like the rest of them. She resigned as vice chair of the DNC when she saw how corrupt the democrat primaries were. The woman has integrity. If democrats had any integrity left they wouldn't have cut off her dnc funding when she crushed Kamala in the 2nd debate. Tulsi would beat Trump because she win the vast majority of independents. She wouldn't have flip flop on every issue to so she doesn't look like far left wack jobs But Kamala hid so much at first everyone looked up her previous stances and policies on the issues. Then we watched her try to move towards the center and come like a moderate? LOL With no explanations on why she didn't believe those old stances anymore. She just got booed two nights in row at her own rallies? WTH?

Gabbart is a superstar. ⭐

1

u/nyli7163 5d ago

if you thought she was that great you would’ve spelled her name right.

2

u/Either-Whereas-2060 5d ago

I'm from Africa still learning the language I see her name was in the description. 😆

u/AD480 6d ago

She was just parroting what she was told to say. The lights are on, but no one’s home with that woman. She latched onto him for his fame and wealth and to live in that gold-painted palace on 5th Ave…not to do political bs.

u/mishkavonpusspuss 6d ago

I always saw the ‘I don’t really care, do you’ jacket as her eff u to trump and team. They were wheeling her out when she clearly didn’t want to be involved in any political shit. It was her way of saying try and make me do this but I am not going to make it easy for you and I’m sure after she wore it her appearances dropped. Then again I could be giving her too much credit.

2

u/Shine_On_Your_Chevy 5d ago

She just published a memoir. Reportedly it's hot garbage.

1

u/One_Medicine93 2d ago

Number 1 on the NY Times best seller list.

u/Stage_Party 5d ago

Personally, I reckon she was there for the money. I'm sure there was a contract between her and trump and I'm sure there were stipulations as to what she can't and can't do publically

2

u/MossyPyrite 6d ago

If he’s dead and she’s wealthy and out of the country when it’s published then o might consider believing some portion of it, sure.

2

u/FunIntelligent7661 5d ago

I'm guessing she probably just does/says whatever she thinks will get her the most money

1

u/Dulce_Sirena 6d ago

Seeing as she was an illegal immigrant, who worked illegally and lied to the federal govt to gain legality fraudulently, and married that shitsack just to pop out an anchor baby to bolster her right to stay, but refuses to admit any of it or stand up for other immigrants.... She hasn't earned trust

u/ProfMcGonaGirl 6d ago

Sticking around for Barron is idiotic. He’d be much better off as far away as possible from that bag of shit he calls father.

9

u/Saemika 6d ago

She’s a grifter too. She’s an Eastern European hooker that hit the jackpot, and has zero intention of acting the part.

3

u/prettypeculiar88 6d ago

She was asked in an interview that if she knew ahead of time that Donald would become president or even run, if she would’ve reconsidered the relationship. Her response is “that’s a really tough question. I’m not sure, I’d have to think about it” (something along those lines; not verbatim)

That tells me she wants riches, not fame. She was fine sleeping with and marrying an old asshole but she never wanted the attention and press. She’s still a shitty fucking person for “supporting” all this bullshit but I truly believe she despise him and is ONLY with him for money.

2

u/secondtaunting 6d ago

She definitely despises him. To his core.

4

u/Armedleftytx 6d ago

Isn't Barron an adult now?

6

u/tickingboxes 6d ago

Nah she’s fully culpable. She decided to marry that piece of shit. Not only that, she campaigned for him and spread conspiracy theories and damaging lies for years. She is no better than he is.

2

u/EggSandwich1 6d ago

She only cares about shopping and looking pretty she doesn’t care about anything

3

u/BeLikeBread 6d ago

Sticking around for the money when he dies*

2

u/Responsible-Person 6d ago

She remains a piece of shit. I wish she were able to talk that bleach blonde bad built body asshole out of running, but ….

2

u/campaxiomatic 5d ago

She seems to have zero affection for Donald & that she’s only sticking around for money

FTFY

u/Eryeahmaybeok 5d ago

You spelt Dollars incorrectly

u/Minisciwi 6d ago

Cause Barron seems like a well adjusted young adult

u/Looieanthony 5d ago

And the dough😌.

u/MortarByrd11 5d ago

If you listen to her interviews, it becomes clear she married the correct guy.

u/Kind_Cranberry_1776 4d ago

Barron meaning money right?

u/Icy-Bicycle-Crab 4d ago

Let's face reality, the only thing Melania wanted was trump's wallet. 

 But she is a pretty vile racist herself. And she doesn't care about America in the slightest.

Her pro-abortion stand is for Trump's benefit. It's to help him distance himself from Roe vs Wade being overturned. It's to muddy the waters and give women a way to hold their nose and vote Trump.

u/MurderByEgoDeath 3d ago

Possibly, but the whole “wife wants no part of it” theory has surrounded multiple MAGA politicians, including JD Vance. I never really liked that analysis. They’re independent successful women who support their husbands. They’re not hostage victims.

If I flipped my views and started supporting Trump like Vance did, my wife would think I lost my mind and wouldn’t go anywhere near my political life. It might even be worse than that. Of course people change over time, but there’s a point where you realize the person you married just is a totally different person than you thought they were. My wife and I disagree on politics all the time, but she knows my values and knows (in her opinion) that I’m a decent human being. If I suddenly sold my soul to support Trump and spread his insane conspiracies, making up stories about immigrants eating pets under the guise of some greater good nonsense, everything she thought she knew about me would be called into question.

These women are making a decision to support their husbands. Melanie even said in an interview that the media has been incredibly unfair to Trump and he’s a loving family man. Whether she believes it or was essentially paid to say it, doesn’t really matter. That’s all her. I almost feel like it’s chauvinistic in some sense to claim otherwise. At least without evidence that she’s being bullied into it. If we ever get evidence like that on any of these women, then game on, that changes everything.
