You're getting old and he's likely to dump you for a younger woman before long anyhow.

with only her son, who she knows will soon become Trump's next brainwash subject.

She may have gone in this with her eyes wide open, but I sincerely doubt she really knew all of what she was in for.

seems like she is held captive in Trump Tower. Seems like the only time she is out is when she becomes arm candy for Trump.

She's got to be feeling like a prisoner.

She's only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see,
You may think she's happy and free from care,
She's not, though she seems to be,
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life,
For youth cannot mate with age,
And her beauty was sold,
For an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gilded cage.

Get everything.

Can prenups stipulate about children the marriage may produce?

Aside from the fact that he has more access to lawyers etc and can screw her over... Honestly I don't even think he cares. He only seems to like Ivanka.

Unless you are totally into money, there are way too many negatives. And she has to know that, based on his history, he is soon going to decide she is too old to keep around.

can be superficially charming. She probably had no way of knowing at the time what an absolute pig he'd turn out to be.

Dating kinda' late in life here but....

I learned a lot in recent years about the old saying that many a gorgeous gal went for the meathead jock, the bully, the manipulator and rich guy in high society but it wasn't always due to money. These divorced gals now lament how they could have stayed with these losers for so long who abused, verbally or mentally, sometimes both, banged them, impregnated them, took them for granted, never loved the kids and at the very end, divorced them, took them to the cleaners and left her with his evil spawn!

I'm sympathetic but only to a point. These were the glamor girls we all drooled over in HS, college, whatever but could not fathom how they missed entirely the cruelty, selfishness and worse traits the men they chased and wanted to mate with had. And we gentleman have all this this sad spectacle before where a real man would have provided love, support, encouragement and more as I did with my late wife. Too late many of these women still 'fall' for the same bad-boy image, re-marry way too soon and once again get taken to the cleaners. Sad but true!

She certainly does not deserve to be treated badly or be in this position, but I am pretty sure she's been around the block a time or two and knows who The Donald really is.

She knew what she was marrying. I don't despise her, but I have a hard time finding any sympathy for her.

Melania gained entry to a degree course in Slovenia, which is not exactly a third world country. Had she applied herself, she could have had a respected and lucrative career in architecture.

What did Melania choose instead? The tenous existence of a model in a foreign country. A job that only lasts as long as her looks. She chose her path, no one else did it for her. No sympathy from me.

I hope she leaves and takes him for everything he has!

the beginning, but I am sure she didn't bargain for this. I really hope she gets out. He will destroy her if she doesn't.

I mean, it isn't like she has any self respect or dignity.

Obviously she married him for the money -- he certainly wasn't studly by the time she ran across him.
No doubt there is a strong pre-nup in place -- and there is about 12 years of marriage and a kid.
I secretly think she tells Barron stuff in Slovenian.
This whole campaign must be like living through Bluebeard's Castle for her -- how could she (or Ivanka, for that matter) have known the extent of his macro sleazy-ness? The doors with their horrible ghosts just keep opening.
I also wonder if on some level she welcomes his adventures outside of the marriage because then it keeps him (ahem) off her back.

Sorry for her. But she's got 10 years with him. I bet it's a great payout.

Poor Melania.

The poor guy is busy invading the Crimea, propping up a proxy in Syria, threatening the Baltics, rigging the US election, all on top of dictating his own country! Now his carefully cultivated candidate that he's invested decades in is blowing up! Putie must be suffering from sleep deprivation from trying to stay on top of all this.

who got divorced from his wife because he was cheating on her with his second wife. Maples dumped him, mainly because of all the sleeping around he did when they were married. What the hell did she expect- that he really loved her? She married him for money, and should have known what was coming.

Sorry to sound like that but I believe they have a business/ contract marriage .

Melania did have jewelry on QVC or rather probably leased her name out . Name is still on QVC , no products .

I couldn't care less about her-but I do feel for the boy. He must be very confused right now.

is take every single piece of jewelry and furniture in that penthouse, leave a note written by his old speechwriter and run like hell into the night.
