What does Melania Want?

She no doubt knows the truth about her husband. What does she want? I believe that she never ever wanted to be First Lady. I believe that she knows all those stories from all those women are true. I believe that she knows that Trump paid hush money to the Porn Queen that he boned while she was pregnant with their son.

What does she want out of this?

If I were her, I would only want out ... and lots of money.

She is 25 years younger than he is. She can wait him out.
Of course, he could be broke by that time. But then she could write a tell-all.

Probably what she wants now is to take her son and go back to NYC forever. Trump does not seem to make much of a parenting contribution as it is.

She knew he was a hateful man and she married him anyway. I have no sympathy for her. She's after the money, which is fine. What's not fine is her participation in the hate/crimes and that she brought an innocent child into this world who is named trump. Not ok.

They're the first couple to keep separate bedrooms in the WH. They keep separate wings in Trump Tower and can go days without seeing each other. Whenever Trump travels they don't call or text each other. She didn't want Trump to run and cried when he won. She wanted to live a private life with discreet luncheons and resents him for forcing her into the political spotlight.

The book also mentions that Trump eats fast food because he's afraid of being poisoned. He's probably afraid Melania will try to poison him.

Shopping at Tiffany's, having a tryst or two, and I assume hopefully being a mother while fat slob was off being an asshole on some golf course and fucking porn stars was fine for her.

This is not.

as well as for her parents. Beyond that, an assurance that her son will have an entree into the educational path that will allow him to do whatever he wants.

Also, at this late date, she wants respect. How that last can be hers, I don't know.

I really don't expect her to be upset or jealous of the women Trump must pay to take on this unsavory task. It's not a normal marriage.

She and Chumpy understand each other perfectly. He knows she's putting up with him because she's got her eye on the ultimate prize: his death and the inheritance. She's young, relative to him, and pretty, so he gets a status boost to his ego. Really is a match made in hell.
