Politics aside, do you think Melania loves Donald?

We also know that Trump at least in his olden days could be charismatic. Even if she finds him physically repulsive (eating McDonald’s every day and potential incontinence by drug abuse) and idiotic 99% of the time, she might have appreciated how he could charm others; how he charmed her.

She just has to hold on for another 5-10 years and then she can find her jujitsu instructor and live happily ever after.

You think being married to DJT is “beyond winning lotto?”

Boy do we see things differently!

DP - she was “brought” to the US to “model” and essentially “sold” to Trump. That being said, Her life here is exponentially better than what she came from.

She’s wealthy and free to do what she wants and realizes that at this stage she’s not likely to do better (“better” - as in, access to wealth via-a-vis personal autonomy). But also, I don’t think she wants to - their personalities are well-matched, and they talk. Not everyone is rushing off to divorce because things aren’t emotionally blissful like in fairy tales. Also he’s older, and she knows she’ll be well-rewarded for her loyalty all these years. She reminds me of a patient cat, crouching and waiting stoically. One could call this kind of attachment over years “love”

I think it's purely transactional. That said, though, I'd read your short story about the patient cat. (Please take that as a sincere compliment.)

+100

I also want the patient cat short story. And echoing PP that everyone should read American Wife or Rodham from Curtis Sittenfeld for some First Lady fan fiction.

Of course not. She uses Ana’s situation to get what she can. I think she’s afraid to divorce, due to immigration status and her son.

She is the embodiment of the adage that if you marry for money, you'll earn every penny.

But money is the only reason anyone would have married him.

No.she is a gold digger.

No.

I think she can’t stand him. In his first presidency, she lived with her parents and son in Potomac. They 100% don’t share a room but she probably has a crazy prenup and can’t divorce him

She looks repulsed him sometimes, so no. She must like the money.

They used each other. He needed arm candy. She need an old man to support her. Gold digger. They are both scum of the earth.

Like a lot of women who marry wealthy older men, she probably thought enduring the marriage for a period of time would be worth it in terms of her financial stability for life. While she probably initially planned to divorce at some point (like the others), she probably decided to stick it out so she can eventually be his widow rather than just an ex. But I bet she’s surprised by his good health and vigor.

I’m curious if she has a side piece or is just celibate.

Move it over to politics OP. Don't pollute the Entertainment Forum.

She has renegotiated her prenup every time he gets caught with his fly open. She is as corrupt and despicable as trump. She probably gets a $1,000,000 every month just to stay with him and make occasional appearances with him

What's it like to have a child, who you love with every fiber of your being, and is half you, whose other half is a monstrous person?

Nothing you described is despicable.

What is despicable? The occasional speech in support of him, maybe.
