    I get the impression that Melania would be fine with that - that she’d take any excuse to be as far as possible away from that stinky lump of congealed fat and bronzer.

      She’s had 8 years to leave. She’s just as bad as he is. Remember her wearing a jacket with “I really don’t care” in giant letters ~6 years ago when Trump was separating children from their parents and then losing the children?

        If you look at it, she’s deeply in hate with him. I could see her staying just to torture him.

        I’m not so sure about this. As someone who’s known several women in divorce, I can say that man like him have ways of trapping their victims. She may seem powerful but that’s nothing compared to the man who effectively controls every branch of government. Just because someone is married doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy that it’s their situation

        Nobody’s as bad as he is, but she’s certainly an awful human.

        But that’s not really relevant. It’s just that from what I’ve seen, she tries to stay as far away from him as possible - preferably in another state. So I assume being given an excuse to be in a different coutry would be okay by her.
