She must feel incredibly trapped. If she leaves, he will threaten to take her son from her and leave her penniless. I am sure she would leave him if she could take her child with her.

be left penniless. She knows all about Donald and found out long long ago. This is not a shock to her at all.
She was free to leave and rumor has it she was...until he ran and won. Rumor also has it that as soon as this shit show is over so will they be. She'll have a nice excuse with the dotard being indicted and all...she'll look like a total victim when she is a central player in this charade. She is NOT being taken advantage of and some poor innocent creature - please don't feel sorry for her, she's quite shrewd.

She chose to marry him knowing he cheated on his previous wives, was a racist and cheated partners, employees and subcontractors. He has done nothing recently except more the same. She is not a victim, she was not tricked or mislead. She covered for him after the pussy tape. She is just as amoral as he is. She has done nothing to help others (that I am aware of) since Impotus lost the popular vote. All we can say about her that is good is that she appears to love her child. That is a very low bar when she is perfectly happing hurting other children.

I don't think she is a good person, but she is definitely too good for him. He is evil and destroys everyone in his path. I don't know what hold he has over her, but for some reason she seems afraid to leave him. Maybe he has something on her.

I wouldn't put it past him to use their son to keep her from leaving him, which would damage his image. And, god only knows what kind of warped shit goes on in that family that they don't want let out.

It’s dangerous IMHO to want to have sympathy for her. That goes to Democrat compassion. She’s done nothing in my book to earn that sympathy. She can leave any time she wants. And no, Trump wouldn’t keep the child. The child is nothing but a bother to Trump.

I mean she went on tv and supported him with *boys will be boys* after the pussy tape. She knew who she was marrying. She knows he is a sexual predator.

Remember how Mrs Maddoff lived after Bernie’s assets were seized? She went from multiple mansions to a single $300,000 condo.

I understand she had aspirations of fame and money, but we are hearing all the troubling truth about other women being treated just as bad? Why should she be any different? Not just she that married to this A-hole, it is OK!
