I think that if Melania can't get away from her husband, she should take a lover.

Someone who could love her and really care about her. Certainly younger than Trump. He has effed her up and she needs someone to be with her and share some happiness in this life.

I know this sounds strange, but I do feel for her and I think she is being abused by her husband. If I were her, I'd be tempted to run off with a lover to the south of France, but I know she couldn't leave her son.

Melania needs help. Yes, I know she married this ape for his money but abuse is still abuse and i can sympathize with her.

In spite of their vast corruptions, they don't have the drug and alcohol issues that bedevil the Palins.

That doesn't make them any better but it does seem to keep the family brawls out of the tabloids.

hook up with Ivanka. Didn't Caligula sleep with his sister? The New Roman Empire could have a President marry his daughter, I suppose. None of it would really surprise me with this bunch.

have your lover look just like the attorney who's working on behalf of the porn star he was banging. Couldn't be much more "in your face" than that!

a prenup with both committing to faithfulness, fidelity for the first 3 years, or consequences so I've read.
They are beyond the time period now, but Marla Maples wasn't so lucky. During their prenup time rule, she had a relationship with someone and was reduced in divorce payment, down to 1 mill or smthg. Can't verify, just what I picked up reading, so who knows.

No woman deserves to be abused. However, keep in mind, Melania is a birther too.

I don't think she has much belief in that whole story about Obama's birthplace. I just think she isn't well educated on the whole issue and just accepts what Trump tells her is true.

partially at our expense. She is not a victim just because he is a bully and is powerful. Many powerful people would protect her if she chose to stand up for herself and for the American people.

When I think of women who are victims of domestic abuse and deserve our compassion and sympathy, I DO NOT think of Melania Trump. Geeeez.

this fear that daddy might go off and hit my beloved mother. I know the experience all too well and we were not rich and famous.

But I don't hate Melania. I just hate to see someone abused as I think does to her. It's a sad situation.

choices when they are trying to living with abuse while they care for young children. Not only have they been beaten down until they don't have the emotional strength to take the children and care for them as a single mom, but they may have no way to bridge the move financially. So women stay and try to make the best of it.

These women DESERVE our compassion and our understanding. Melania is not without options. Her options are all gold-plated. No matter what he is doing to her, she could leave this instant and have her choice of mansions to live in if she wanted. She could charge hundreds of thousands to give a speech. Her child would not miss a meal. He would still have a place at the best schools if they wanted. She is NOT a victim and it's disgusting when her situation gets compared to what you went through or what so many women (who aren't married to trump) face.

Your mother truly deserved the choices Melania has. Melania is choosing the devil.
